How would you Explain the Meaning and Significance of Baptisim

[phil_at_dayboro]

If you were asked this Question over Coffee by an Athiest or someone that had difficulty reasoning the purpose of Religion and your faith,
How would you answer the Question , without creating a long winded Lecture ,

Just jumping on board to see how others will answer this. In my mind when dealing with an Athiest you would need to explain and get over the disbelief in God first.

Adding my name to those wondering how others will answer. My sister has claimed to be an atheist. Great question.

Mary.

First engage in dialog on how the Universe came to be. Without the belief in God, there’s no belief in Baptism. So ask the atheist what is their belief in the origin of the Universe. There has to be a beginning so what is their belief in how it all began.
