    I don’t understand why anybody does communion or baptism or any of it. I mean, I do because it’s all bonding and stuff, but if you look at the religion on paper, all you need to do is accept Jesus and you’re saved. You don’t even have to go to church!

        I forgot that different denominations have diffident requirements. I always thought it was pretty sketchy having the barrier to entry be that low.

          Yeah I think that’s one of the evangelical branches that play that shit which frankly explains a lot. Ironically most christian denominations think catholics are heretics and idolators, again due to totally reasonable misunderstandings about Mary, the saints, and the whole trinity shenanigan, even though catholics are like the OG J-dude acolytes. It’s all pretty interesting in an academic sense but jobs of horrifying these beliefs are dictating government policy.
