Provided by the compucert Yesterday, friends of ours had their son baptized. Right off the bat, this is a spectacle. They have a special mass dedicated to only this event. They go through the entire ceremony THREE TIMES, so it's significant of the Holy Trinity: The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. My favorite part was when the TWO PRIESTS asked the baby is he renounces Satan three times. This drones on for about an hour. During which time all forms of boredom embraces the crowd. The only event that wakes you up is when they strip the child nekkid and dunks him in the water, head and all. The frightened screaming child sends a chill down your spine over the savage display before you. I was told that dunking the entire child is supposed to symbolize the baptism of Jesus. I ask, as long as it's SYMBOLIC, then why not just put a couple drops of water in the forehead? Wasn't Jesus baptized in a river? If you want to symbolize that, then why aren't we at a river too?
After about an hour that tedious disaster ended. Then we were off for the RECEPTION. I've never seen anything like this baptism Extravaganza. Over 100 people in a catering hall with a cocktail hour, open bar, a live band, and catered like a wedding. They even played "The Mom cuts the cake," which was suspiciously similar to "The Bride cuts the cake." Oh this was entirely too much to be believed. But the wife was under the impression that after the pageant which was their wedding, that the masses expected nothing LESS than something this grandiose.
We were seated at a table consisting mostly of kunts whom I don't care for. One bitch gave us attitude because we didn't put aside our vacation plans when she baptized her brats a couple years ago. I secretly smiled when the son vomited all over the front of her gown.
I suppose it could've been considered a nice gathering to talk with friends and family that you only get to see at events like this. That is, if the band could've kept the decibels below ear-bleeding levels, which seemed impossible for them to do as they never did.
The food and drink was quite good. I know I consumed a good amount of Jack Daniels and savored ever moment of it.
All in all, I had a fine time, but I think it was clearly overdone. I think this baptism cost the parents as much as a medium sized wedding. That's just plain nutz!
