My Dear Rev. Warren………

Babies Are FINE the Way They Are.

No Christening/Baptisms necessary or assembly required.

Babies have no baggage and nothing hardwired into their brains that tells them that there’s a need for religion or its trappings. They won’t even remember a Baptism or Christening, the day after. It’s too bad that some folks believe that babies aren’t perfect as they are……..

For instance, Reverend, instead of acting on the BEST SPIRIT of an ancient text, you acted upon the most revolting part of one of its most hurtful of superstitions in the most alienating way possible:

Reverend refuses to baptize baby, says unwed parents are ‘living in sin’
SUMRALL, Miss. (WLBT/Gray News) — A young couple in Mississippi who recently tried to have their newborn baptized said…www.kfvs12.com

A baby, on the other hand, loves unconditionally.

Since you went to paper with your opinion and that letter is out in its entirety in a newspaper, I have no compunction about naming you in this blog post. If you truly believe that your interpretation of the Bible is the only one that can possibly be correct then you should be proud to see it in print EVERYWHERE.
