Let's at least make sure the experience is less traumatic. The broader issue you're raising is unlikely to gain political traction in the foreseeable future, unfortunately.

For sure. As a parent going through 3 of these baptisms was a truly nerve wrecking experience. For my wife, being a catholic, it was a shock (the first one, the others just a horror show). But yeah... this ain't changing any time soon.

Wait till you discover babies are operated on without anaesthetic.

So yeah, definitely not just the Churches that have a problem with babies. It's our whole culture.

Creepy in and of itself. Genuinely I'm not that upset about the act itself. The Church has so so so much more awful stuff to answer for.

It's awful, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't harm the baby. The teachings of the Church and its effect on society, especially in Cyprus, do demonstrably harm the baby.

The teachings of the church not so much if they stayed on" love each other as you do your own self" but unfortunately it just says that and then goes on to teach hate on the strange and different and a bunch of other horrible hateful stuff

Cyprus is so fucked up by the religiosity/conservatism of the average person and iron grip of the Church. Being away for two years 100%, and living away for 12, it's really obvious how screwed up it is.
