The problem here is that the bath water doesn't exist or there is nothing that proves its existence. As far as Jesus goes, he might have been a person who was crucified but divinity is suspect. I don't buy any of it but there are a lot of used car salesmen still trying to sell that lemon.
The bath water is the religious belief. It does exist, as a belief. The baby is the etical message.
How is Jesus an ethical message when he wanted to curse a fig tree for not bearing fruit?
Yes I am aware it's a metaphor as well but still it points out a fundamental flaw in the Christian doctrine
If I was born of sin and I am prone to evil how can you expect me to be anything other than that? To punish me for my own designed nature is not only wicked, it is stupid.

How about not throwing stones peroid? I'm superior.
