Baptism in Kool-Aid

[DCR]

...in which case the baptismal robe better be white.

Why did this question even come up?

To take the question seriously...

No, it wouldn't be okay.  Baptism is supposed to symbolize a cleansing, a death, and a rebirth.

There is no way you're going to convince me that being dunked in kool-aid could ever symbolize cleansing.

Besides, you're only baptized in kool-aid when you join the Church of Fonzerelli. =-)

The Church of the Fonz, is not the Church of Fonzerelli.

A shower would definitely be in order after being baptized in Kool-Aid.

See reply #19.

______________________

btw, in this analogy the elbow out of the water would correspond to slightly impure baptismal water.  Baptism in Kool-Aid would correspond to sprinkling or pouring.

It's not that tight an analogy, though.  The question becomes what really matters, and maybe--maybe, not certainly--the question of how much something being done in good faith matters. 

But since this is, as far as I know, an original analogy, it can really mean whatever it seems to.  It hasn't been properly vetted.

Johnny the Baptist

Johnny's Mother looked out the window and noticed
him 'playing church' with  their cat.? He had the cat
sitting quietly and he was preaching to  it.? She smiled
and went about her work.

A while later, she heard loud meowing and hissing and
ran back to the open window to see  Johnny baptizing the
cat in a tub of water.

She called out, 'Johnny, stop that!  The cat is afraid of water!'

Johnny looked up  at her and said,
'He should have thought about that before he joined my church.'?
