Baptism and صبغة

Baptism   ( صبغة )   is the sign of an entity which eventually must find its own way, its own tongue, and its own way to the Holy; it washes away childhood. It is a choice. Everyone of us will choose sooner or later. We should have a rite of passage for this choice. Baptism is normally done for children, having become more of a magical rite than a meaningful religious experience.
