Forums - General - Rise of atheism: 100,000 Brits seek 'de-baptism'

highwaystar101 on 30 March 2009

I'm not against baptism in any way, but I would like to know that if a person does not agree with their own faith then they should have the right to undo the baptism.

P.S. I'm going to my nieces baptism in a few weeks, I know she will likely grow up a Christian anyway because her parents are.

@Thatmax - It's not about removing the baptism per-se, it's more of a gesture to show you have no religion, or if you want to change religion.

It is not forced, every day more and more people in the world “force” the opposite beliefs on my daughter and my family “premarital sex, drugs, hate, violence” all I do is present the counter to that and what I feel is the best option for her growth and her soul

I am sorry you have such a distaste for it

My parents made me go to church almost ever Sunday, including the ones where I would rather play outside or just sleep in and I don’t have any regrets, resentment, or remorse for that time

God gave me breath and I do what I can to honor that and try to pass it back on

No one is forcing your daughter to have sex, do drugs, or any such stuff. You force your views upon her, however.

force implies that there are harsh concenquences to not having it the same way i do

it is a choice she can make in her own way, but i would be a bad parent if i didnt present what i thought was the best option from the earliest chance i had

in the end it boils down to her and god for the relation ship to be made, it is just my job as a servent and a father to lay the foundation and hope or the best

You don't "present" shit, you force it down her throart at a very early age. Presenting would mean talking about it, and when SHE is ready she goes through with it.

A right that your child appearently never had. I hope your child 'revolts' against you when he/she grows older. It would be interesting to see how you would react emotionally, because exerting influence in a relationship is always about emotions and control. A feeling of integrity and self worth is more important than loyalty to the parents' identity.

most religions say that some form(s) of discrimination are ok, is that really the best way to raise a child?
