Yes, your "orthodox" religion is in stark contrast to the doctrine of the Bible.
The Bible is very clear that those who partake of the Lord's
Supper without self-examination and discernment of the Lord's
body do it unworthily, and eat and drink damnation to themselves.
Your "orthodox" traditions are no better than voodoo.

Don`t worry Huckleberry, children are, as you said, pure at hearts (but they still have the fallen nature, like us all) and up until 5 or 6 years old they take the Saint Communion without confessing their sins. Once they understand good from bad they also have to confess their sins. The Saint Body and the Saint Blood of Jesus Christ are no vodoo and no jokes for us, I can assure you. I don`t believe any human being, regardless of his intelligence, can trully and fully comprehend the miracle that happens when you take the Saint Communion, when God descends into the deepness of his creation.
There is something spiritual and supernatural that happens when the rite of baptism is performed. The person being baptized needs to fulfill his part in this rite, and babies can't do that. True baptism has to be finished, later, when they can. People who baptize their babies are fully aware of that.
I think it is wrong for people to criticize others for bringing their babies before the Lord in this rite, dedicating their babies to the Lord and promising to teach them. There can be no harm done to the child by this. The possibility of harm is much greater when children aren't brought before the Lord.
It is not biblical that babies are not born in sin, or born with a heritage of inner knowledge of sin. Bible says that ever since Adam wanted this knowledge, we have inherited this from Adam. Even babies need Christ. It is up to parents to take over for them until they can do it for themselves. Bringing babies before the Lord is part of that, it includes teaching them to perform this for themselves when they grow enough to take on this responsibility.

Offering or dedicating a baby to the Lord is different from baby baptism because there are alot of people out there thinking that they have been born again and do not need to be baptise . When you tell them that hey have to be born again , they tell you they hvae already been baptise as a child and donot need to be baptise hmmm see the danger
