Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I was just wondering. Considering the ritual of baptism in the catholic/christian churches is nothing more than a pointless ritual, what was the role of john the baptist in the bible and in real life at that time? Wasn't he the one who baptised jesus? If os, then wouldn't jesus had spoken out about the pointlessness of the ritual alledgedly preformed by john on jesus? Just curious why this is such a prevelent thing in these religions and if it isn't real, how did it find its way so solidly into these religionsand in artists depictions of these events.
