Christian baptism seems to be an inverse stoning. Your friends (enemies) gather around you and give praise (insults). You are submersed in water (killed) as a means of entrance (expulsion) from the community. There is of course deeper reasoning but it seems striking.
I’m curious what you would consider a cult though. In the past, my Anabaptist ancestors were considered a cult and burnt at the stake for heresy.

Which doesn’t seem very Christlike especially compared to Dirk Williams but so it goes. I don’t intend to scapegoat the past or defend all those who’ve called themselves Christians.
