I smoked a joint in the baptismal font, does that count?

@Pfuzylogic sort of, there’s the tvilah, which is similar to baptism, but I’m not sure in which contexts it’s used, it’s not the type of thing where you have to have it as a baby to be a Jew (unlike with Christianity, you’re born fully Jewish). I’m only Jewish on my dad’s side and he’s completely secular, so none of that ritual stuff for me and my brother (I wasn’t even bat mizvah’d). My mom’s a nondenominational Christian but she’s not really into the whole church thing, though I think she was baptized as a teenager.

For a female I recall that being called a bat mizveh instead of a bar mitzveh and in the mikveh you get a full immersion/dunking like the Baptist’s do. It sounds like you missed out on Synagogue services. I have always found the Jewish traditions to be fascinating and I do bet your visit to Israel was very educational!

Baptized and confirmed as a child. As adult I am Agnostic. I gave my children their own choice. My wife is religious and taught them and took them to church when they were young but she agreed that the choice was theirs to make when they got old enough. We raised three wonderful humans that are now honest productive adults and have 8 beautiful grandchildren.

@DarkHeaven Yep, I was, in another life…
@bijouxbroussard ly, my friend. My relationship with a higher power is complicated. I’m not saying that I don’t believe… but it’s very complicated.

No, I was circumcised when I was eight days old. But my wife went under water at a Mikvah when she converted to Judaism. You Christians just copied it from us, along with the paschal lamb and blood from Passover and a bunch of other things.

I was made to get baptized. I didn't really want it.

The water is a ritual.
The Spirit is unexpected.
I was baptized as an infant and after prayer and deep consideration decided to let that stand.

Didn’t have a choice. The mythology is you’re born sick and commanded to heal yourself. With a magical ritual.
