Is it mistaken to support organised religion in membership or donations?



Baptism is so important to the Church and its understanding of what Jesus wants that the Church agrees with people who have a child all covered in sores and who is very sick being baptised with stagnant water. This happened a lot in the poor hygiene of the Middle Ages. It can happen today in war zones. Infection will happen and may result in the death of the child. The Church holds that baptism must still be given for spiritual life that is being made pleasing to God by baptism matters far more than physical life. Jesus put his spiritual life before his physical life and didn't try to escape the arrest that led to his cross. He risked the life of his mother and friends and brothers in the way he practiced his spirituality.
