        I imagine if baptisms stacked, you could pile on a gazillion of them like ablative armor against incoming sin.

          Lol, imagine if showers stacked. You could spend a week showering and then all filth just disappears when it touches you

          But then, what happens to the filth?

          The only way I see this working is if you shower, you just continuously wash filth off yourself. But then does it all just kick in when you walk out of the shower? Or maybe, you never become clean until you’ve washed a lifetime of filth off yourself, then you’re clean forever

          I’m imagining every baby just covered in sludge, and after years of washing they become clean. Imagine your kid just never gets cleaner, and everyone just thinks you’re a terrible parent. Imagine cleaning your kid and they become clean way ahead of schedule

          There’s some real existential horror here
