Interlude, Belligerent (Baptism)

Do you reject Satan?
And what if I don't?

And all his works?
Seriously, what would you do?

Do you reject sin, so as to live in the freedom of God's children?
And let's say I don't - what is it to you?

Do you reject the glamor of evil, and refuse to be mastered by sin?
It's all about the repetition, I see.
  
Do you reject Satan, father of sin and prince of darkness?
Rinse and repeat.

Do you believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth?
And what if I don't?

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, and was buried, rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father?
And what if I don't?

Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
And what if, well, you know...

This is our faith. This is the faith of the Church. We are proud to profess it, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Are we? But what if we're not?
