More batshit crazy? Mandatory baptism. Attendance is one thing. You can always show up and sleep. Baptism, however...
Mandatory baptism would be less of a burden. I was baptized, so I would not have to do anything in the future to satisfy that. But having to go to church every Sunday would be a bother. If I did have to go to church every Sunday, I would look for one that had a good organ and some good music, but even with that, I would rather not be required to go.
