Those photos are really funny, and I assume they are in fact taken from Catholic churches. I've noticed that trend is only getting worse. My favorte is at an otherwise conservative contemplative convent, where they have something like the river of Jordan seperating the cloistered nuns from the layfolk.
It looks like there are beer cans floating around in the first picture. I've been to a swim-up bar in Mexico, but swim-up bar 'n baptism is a little high concept for me.
I heard of one church whose font/hot tub is shaped like a coffin because "we die with Christ" when we are baptized. Insert eye roll here. (Yes, I know we die with Him and raised again but.....)
