"They don't even baptize their children, but wait until they reach the "age of reason" and "convert" them!"

I wish that I had more time tonight.

There are portions of your post that are also likely pretty offensive to some.

Christians who don't baptize their children?

I know that you won't try, that is good, because you can't produce any verse in the Bible (OT or NT) that even remotely suggests the baptizing of children as an imperative.

I'm not advocating infant baptism nor am I saying it is "scriptural." I'm a Noachide, not a chr*stian. I'm trying to make a point to people who think that religion is a subjective ethnoculture that people are born into and no one has a right to try to convert anyone else.

Most non-Fundamentalist chr*stians assume that all chr*stians baptize their children and bring them up "as chr*stians." They've never heard of universal depravity. And they certainly don't understand the concept of an Objective G-d making demands of everyone, regardless of what his or her "heritage" might be.

I'm telling these people that chr*stian Fundamentalists feel obliged by G-d Himself to convert everyone (not just "minorities" or people who are "different") and they are so consistent that they insist that their children think for themselves and make a personal decision to be a chr*stian (so much for Fundamentalist chr*stians "not thinking;" show me any Catholic with as much confidence in his beliefs!).

I don't know how you construed my post as an endorsement of infant baptism or how you will construe this one. I can only do my best.
