Baptising children, right or wrong?

[Demonaura]

The ritual part was the part that had no meaning for me, birthdays are rituals, as is celebrating christmas with your child.

The only thing that's really different is that birthdays don't sign you up for a political party and put you on anyones lists.

I generally hold telling a child what they beleive in terms of religion and such as improper, I don't know about abuse because it is not universally a bad thing, only bad by my definition. I see reality as worth fighting for but, a society where ignorance is bliss (religion) is not a crime.
