Thoughts on Baptism and the Church

It seem to me that the concept of baptism might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.  Think about it with me, and if you disagree, please tell me why, I will listen.  Okay, so baptism is the transfer of sins, both original and personal.  For example, if a baby were to die after being baptized it would go to Heaven, and if before, it would go to Hell... now this is what I see as a very carefully lain master plan to control the masses, right from birth you've got them believing in your paradigm, your perception of the world, through fear... but this is where it all breaks down... if God creates the spirit, and the spirit is in the baby, why would a baby require anything after being born, and why would one go to hell just for not having something that it did not come with?  The very concept of baptism is contrary to nature, and to how God puts us on this earth... it is therefore my belief that baptism is a very evil act intended to control from first breath to death all of humankind, for power, for greed, for fear, and God truly has nothing to do with it.  Anyway, that's my two cents, yes, I'm talking about religion, I believe in God, but the God I believe in doesn't condemn people to Hell, nor require baptism from them for original or personal sins, only in seeking redemption and changing our lives when we go astray from God, from Nature... not from the Church, and definitely not from baptism.   Your thoughts?
