A true baptism is done when a person conciously decides they are ready to give their life to God. The one done shortly after birth is only to 'protect' the child until they come of age to make their own decisions. Which they still have every right to do.

So does the child get a choice whether they "want" to be protected? Do the parents sit with this child and go through the 100s of religions and ask this child to make a choice? What if this protection fails the child and the father, mother, uncle, aunt, friend or the priest sexually or physically abuses them later? Who is to blame for the lack of protection?
What kind of protection is it exactly?
Fly...thats just about the lamest answer youve come up with...it doesnt even stand on its own merit.
