Re: Jesus must have been baptized in the name of...himself?

Baptism is like marriage . A ritual the church developed that that need
a priest to perform so the church could get more money.A sort of
protection racket. set up to bilk the ones without the ability to reason
things out and seperate them from the thinkers. The thinkers would be
offered a position in good standing in the community or they would be
offed if they put up a fuss about the racket.
