Man’s Quest To Get De-Baptised
At first glance this seemed quirky and worth a snicker. But then I thought about it. Doesn’t the act of a de-baptism give some form of validation of belief in the baptism itself? As if the act of water-boarding babies does anything at all aside from being a traumatic experience and costing them in therapy bills later in life.
I don’t know why they wouldn’t do it though. I’m actually surprised the church wasn’t willing to … for a fee or donation, that is.
I’m sure this will be seen as an inspiration to others as well as good publicity for us. A man divorcing his religion. I’m just all too aware of how the creationists and other looneys like to spin stories in their favor.
I don’t know… maybe we should all request de-baptisms… Start a movement.

I had never really thought about it, but now that you mention it, there would be a good reason for me to request it, and a good reason for the church to deny it. Here in NL, churches are regularly subsidized according to the number of people that are member of that specific church. I am probably still a member (in the books) of the church in my parents’ town. Since I feel it is stupid that public money is going into subsidies for churches (where the church as a whole is probably the richest organization out there) I should request to be de-baptised or somesuch. But it’s the same subsidies that will have that church deny the request, most probably.
