I don't really see the point in being un-baptised. Will it change your life in any way? I don't think so.
But then what do I know, I've never been baptised in the first place. |
I see it this way. If your parents signed you up for a conservative politicl party before you could make decisions but you grew up liberal, would you want to stay part of that conservative party? |
Not quite the same. More like if you were 6 months old, your parents put a shirt on you, for a day, that said “I love George Bush”, and 20 years later you need to buy a shirt that say’s you don’t.
It does not make you part of an organization. It was an event, an event that an atheist should think of as pointless. TO de-baptize yourself would be to admit being baptized had meaning.
Why would that want to do that? |
No, I think it's more like if you were a baby and your parents enrolled you in the George Bush Fan Club. Baptism is a ceremony of entrance into the faith, so it's more than just wearing a T-shirt for a day if they continued to raise you Christian.
Having said that, I agree that it sounds pretty dumb. You quit the fan club, not join a "Not a George Bush Fan" club.

the problem is, is that they dont let you "quit" religion, i read a newspaper article about how when people ask to be removed from the register/file the church pot them on when they were baptised, they refused to let them.

there is a big differnce b/t faith and religion and religion and church
alot of people group them togther but they are not ever the same
