Forums - General Discussion - Why is Baptism "Bad" ? is it harmful or just water? (honest question from an idiot who can't bother to google)

I'm not christian, never been, I've seen a lot of people refuse Baptism like its harmful, isn't it basically just taking a fee bath with a dude murming random words?

is it harmful? like for example Circumcision? do you have to cut your dick like shwarma to be Baptised?

Who refuses baptisms? Christians or non-christians?



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm pretty sure baptism is a good thing if you're "Spirituality ready" for it.



I would see no reason to be bothered by a baptism unless you were an adherent of a non-christian religion. If you don't believe, than it is just water; no harm, no foul.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

It's not harmful in any physical way.

And as far as I know it's just the first step into becoming a Christian and a necessary ritual to be able to "use" the services of that religion like for example getting married in a church and all that.

Well a lot of people on the internet seem to be really insulted that they're "forced into baptism" 



Usually you are a baby so physical memory of the event is impossible.

baptism without consent is basically water boarding.

you're seriously comparing taking a bath to water boarding?

It's not much different.

And most of the babbies start to cry out of fear when they feel the water, and some even cough.
