A horrible, horrible mental image entered my mind: a priest dunking an infant into the baptismal font during a baptism ceremony and then proceeding smoothly to a requiem prayer as the infant drowns in holy water.
They’ve drowned babies doing baptisms before.. if you look online you can find some CRAZY violent orthodox baptisms out of russia and the like. They dunk them babies like a goddamn basketball. Baby pulling mad g forces.
I would have wished my horrible mental image was just a figment of my imagination, lol! Reality is stranger than fiction, indeed.
