Ok, fair point: I haven't heard your exact theories about baptism (and I still haven't, because I only scanned your long reply). I should have said that I've heard variations on the same "pagan-origin" themes. Either way, I'm not interested. Again, I wasn't talking about you or your views in my original post.

Thanks for admitting you were dishonestly dismissive.

As such, I'm not surprised that you're maintaining that dismissiveness.

Do you feel loved when your neighbors dismiss you?

My guess is you'll say you don't care but that's not the question.

It is not "unloving" to dismiss _ideas_ one disagrees with, and _being_ loved is more important than _feeling_ loved.

Sometines the truth hurts.

You can't honestly disagree with an idea you've never explored.

Prejudicially dismissing ideas is unloving.
