What happens to unbaptized children. Surely Our Father would not damn them to hell for the failings of their parents and the society that raised their parents and their parent's parents.
Oh Lord, please do not damn unbaptized children to hell. It is too cruel a thought.
When someone who wants to profess faith in Jesus Christ gets baptized, it is usually only in the audience of those who do care. Family, close friends, and supportive Christian members of that church who welcome their Christian numbers increasing and the Christian fellowship and support.
To anyone outside of that sphere, it means little to nothing.
>It all happens in the mind of people
I am not sure if it only occurs in the mind, but, Yes, it has to happen in the mind at some point.
Anyways your answer is really good.
I find virtue through lots of my work. I like it when someone envisions something and then I help them build it. I like that part of construction work. Here's the blueprint. We spent a lot of time designing it. Now build it. If i were to do college over again i would focus more on engineering.
As far as baptism, i see it as an oath of faith and taking oath around family and friends and community who you trust is actually a great thing. But few really understand what community is today. And any time your town grows too large and too many and too many new faces you lose sense of community. And when you don't know most of the people in your own town, you can't hold each other accountable. And when you can't hold each other accountable then society down spirals rapidly with jews infesting all positions of power.
As such, it makes more sense. In that case it's more than just words, it's something people can appreciate as something that has multiple witnesses and goes back to trust and keeping word. Trust is something that has a higher value - it's a behavioral pattern in which expectations can reliably be made about a person.
In that case the ritual is really just symbolic, that is meant to reinforce the expression with tangible actions, instead of just saying words. Actions speak louder than words.
I thought more about babies or children being baptized, which negates the idea of the person doing it as a oath of faith. It's essentially about the parents doing it with their children as proxy. And I was primarily referring to OP's concerns. This is just one rather superficial thing a person can do, but there is also the concept of being a true believer.
Doing the thing well trumps superficialities every time.

That is indeed the process, and it's a little sad. The more people are around you, the less you care about them. There is the process of cities becoming politically left leaning, and it's hard to pinpoint why. But this could be one reason.
Well it is sort of the anti-thesis to multi-culturalism. The less people you know in the community, the less you're able to hold each other accountable. Church members can hold each other accountable to not sin and live by the preachings inside that church. But then you introduces synagogues and mosques into the town and now what? The neighbors all are going to get along and have the same standards? At that point you cannot take oaths to kikes or mudslime, and you can't trust these people to be a jury of your peers. At that point society collapses. A community needs to be unified in strong ways. Faith/Religion is one way. My argument is that multi-culturalism is designed to destroy the unification and moral standards of a society. neighborhoods under one jurisdiction become segregated, balkanized, and at war over politics and standards. That's why the idea of an "oath" or allegiance is so foreign to people today. They hate their own neighbors and want a taller fence.
Also, i challenge the manner in which we transact real estate and build communities. What gives anyone the right to just move into your neighborhood just because they paid the seller price? Should they not be vetted? I don't think white nationalists should allow this system when they build communities and neighborhoods. No one should be allowed to infiltrate without being vetted by the people who already live there. In the past this vetting was trusted to be done by national authorities at some port like Ellis Island. But today each and every single neighborhood should be disqualifying people from wanting to move in. I suppose maybe an HOA contract could be designed so that White folks could safeguard their communities from niggers or spics or zipperheads from buying houses and moving in.
