Louse,

What a very stupid thing to say.

Imagine me shoving a huge dildo in your mouth, strapping you in a wheelchair, and pushing you between pews to a man in a funny hat that says a few words and sprinkles water on your head.......poof, you're a Christian. Doesn't matter what you were before, you've been baptized. This is your argument, isn't it? You've been baptized. Be damned what you think or want, the deed is done. Despite what you were before, you are now a Christian because of the ritual of baptism.
