The water seemed quite polluted to expect any 'holiness' out of it, but I was allowed to make a wish afterwards. Since I wished for something good to happen to someone else, I may never know if it came true, but it was a pretty reasonable thing I asked for that probably would have happened in any case (in my opinion, one shouldn't be too pushy when making requests of an imaginary deity... since they don't exist, they can really only help you in a very limited way)

I hope that story amuses you as much as the thought of you trying to puzzle out consistency on the matter of baptism amuses me. For what it's worth, I was baptized in my teen years when I went through a period of very strong belief in the Christian god. I still dig his music, moreso now than back then, actually.
