I'm watching a talk show on EWTN (Eternal World Television Network) it's catholic, by the way, a person wrote in saying their grandchild was baptized catholic, but the parents switched to protestant (Baptist) and the hosts are acting like it's an abomination of God.....every religion has the mind set.

Not every religion. I'm a Pagan, and I see baptism as splashing with water, and there's little that can be done to offend my sensibilities.

We should be obeying what the Bible says, not what organised religion says.
Jesus gave all of us instructions..Not just the religious leaders.'
(MATTHEW 28:19-20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20Â teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU. And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.”
Teaching them what?
(MATTHEW 24:14) And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.
What is this Good News?
(DANIEL 2:44) “And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite;
This is the same Kingdom we all pray for in the lord's prayer.
(MATTHEW 6:9-10) “YOU must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. 10Â Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also upon earth.
A Kingdom has subjects. We are it.

I'm not sure if you are just making a statement or asking a question.
If the former, then - no comment.
If the latter, what's the question?
So I will just make a comment. If someone walked out on you, you'd be upset too, right?
All I know is that the Bible makes it perfectly clear that beliefs have to be ACCEPTED AFTER ONE HAS UNDERSTOOD what the beliefs are. A baby doesn't understand beliefs. Catholics baptize babies. Ergo, when they come of age to understand certain beliefs, they can either accept or reject the beliefs. Do you sign a contract without reading it?

No, that is a problem you have with yourself. You generalize. All religions are not that way. The hosts actions are terrible, yes, but that does not represent all religions.

Human created God... That's all there is to it.
People believe in god because they fear or they love, but what if god doesn't have anything to offer. like the eternal life in heaven... would people still believe in him? God probably wouldn't be so mean but why does God punish a good person who doesn't believe in him by sending him to hell and let the murderer in heaven because he believes in God's existence before he dies... Doesn't make much sense to me...

Christians love their neighbors as themselves. Any person who does less than that is not a serious follower of Jesus Christ.
