I have to agree there. My pastor is fond of saying that if you
want to talk to a hungry man about God, first give him food. If
you want to talk to a thirsty man, first give him water. THEN
you can talk to him about God. Forcing people to get baptized to
obtain water only makes them go through a meaningless ritual.
People like this give the rest of us a bad name.
