Ex-Christians. Do you want to be Un-Baptized?

Do you feel that you didn't have a choice when your parent forced a baptism on you just months after you were born? Or that you came to your senses after being baptized later in life?

I got my Un-Baptism Certificate here, for free. http://www.uctaa.net/articles/meds2/med39/med754.h...

I used the New Automated Process. I am so much happier AND I lost 10 pounds!

    Not really, but the concept does make a point about those churches which "claim" for counting purposes all sorts of nominal adherents, which is useful when arguing for more social and political influence.

    Baptised,

    Confirmed

    Became a Christian

    Became an atheist.

    In that order.

    When I first became an Atheist, I thought about this to. Then I realized, Baptism does not mean a damn thing one way or the other. It's just some silly aquatic ceremony. To renounce it, or UN BAPTIZE, as you say, would lend it credence, as if it had any real meaning in the world of reality instead of the mythical religion world.

    That being said, That certificate is bloody freaking HIL-LAR-I-OUS!!!!!!!

    Lol, I chose to be baptised at 15 years old.

    I was dipped in water, and the music they played made us all quite emotional...

    But I know it didn't mean anything. Still, today as an agnostic pagan, I see it as teh re-birth of my child-mind to my adolescent-mind. It was there that the process of my searching began- when in the course of 5 yeas, I changed religions 4 times.

    The final time was to Unitarian Universalism (my personal belief is agnostic/paganism, which fits in nicely at my U.U church, where my girlfriend and I attend. She is atheist), where I've stayed, happy and very content.

    What's the point? It was a meaningless ceremony.

    If you want to be un-baptized, you must think the ceremony meant something.

    It really doesn't make a difference whether or not I'm baptized. It's not negitively effecting me in any way.
