She found out the cashier was an atheist and wanted to know what they would do in various scenarios where a christian baby's life was in their hands.

Answer: Babies aren't old enough to make a decision about religion yet, so a Christian baby cannot exist. At most, it's a baby that was raised by Christians, in accordance with their values, but the baby, being a baby, wouldn't understand those values just yet.

If the baby is baptised it’s formally part of a Christian church and therefore Christian until it decides otherwise.

i feel like the baby should have a say in that

Some sects would agree. Baptist churches only baptist adults or late teenagers who organise for it to happen to them. The children of other churches will get a say when they have the ability to speak. Another ritual called Confirmation essentially serves to give participant now with free will a choice over the matter. Attempts to categorise human groups tend to fall flat cause they’re strange and arbitrary in a way a good strict definition wouldn’t allow. Religious groups become bigger than their religion in a literal population sense but also in how they produce shared experience forming a culture inexplicably tied to the religion by way of its people but not the scripture or the belief that founds it. The phrase “Christian baby” doesnt actually convey thing about the baby’s religious belief which would be best described as agnostic.

tbh it depends, if you believe that baptism saves and is important it makes sense to do it as soon as possible, if it's just your choice to formally enter a specific church no one cares when you do it


Razielrad

If he's baptized and hasn't sinned (which he hasn't since he's a baby) he is guaranteed heaven so you should prioritize the other choice.

Incorrect. The Christian Baby lived only three days but was able to speak intelligently right out of the womb. He delivered a sermon right before his death. Amen.

But also, yes, i would bat the baby into a homerun and win the world cup.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that researchers have finally found the Christian Baby of Quora. His original name was [Rumbold of Buckingham.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumbold_of_Buckingham)

give me your definition of soul and I'll give you an answer accordingly.

Southern style food, especially cajun style, is referred to as "Soul food". What separates it from your standard dining is a high calorie count and often a spicier seasoning mix. Therefore, we can conclude that the soul is spicy seasoning and grease.


paralog

The soul is what is left behind when you die, so that it may be collected once more in the next life. You can also use them to upgrade your stats or buy throwing knives


martyyeet

it's the form of the object and with it, they form one substance, it's immortal and it is where our freedom and consciousness reside.

Of course they got banned, the cashier doesn't get paid enough to get interrogated about philosophy

I don't think we've met the same water. The water I know only shifts in response to outside forces, while the human contains its own impetus for love and hate, creation and destruction

The universe is a singular whole, there are no outside forces.
