    To Denouce your baptisim could be like denouncing the Holy Spirit and therefore commiting the unforgivable sin.

    Not really! If I say God does not exist there is no sin cause your assumption is based on the fact that God does exist.

    I live in a world where God doesn't exist even though a lot of people believe in some kind of divine entity and that's OK ;)

    However if you are not happy in the "Catholic Church" Leave go find a denonimation that fits you needs and fills your Hunger.

    I do not need a denomination. I will always fight for honesty, justice and morality! I don't need a book to know what's right and what's wrong. I'm a sane, conscientious human being with many virtues and many flaws too :D but the bottom line is I'm a good person :)

    Blessed are those who HUnger and thrist for rightousness shall have there reward.

    Thank you and I do have a hunger and thirst for righteousness and that's an enough reward for me. I don't need a promise of "heaven". Being righteous is something I do for free.

    Wow... this felt great. Thanks. I'm saying this with not even a hint of sarcasm :) and now, more than ever I know that I'm not an agnostic but an atheist.

    Go ahead, laugh it if you like. I'm beginning to think that atheists scoff at religions because they're jealous.

    I'm sorry but... :lol: :lol: :lol: WHAT?? I feel free from all the shackles of religion and I'm, most of the times, nice compassionate person that wouldn't hurt a mouse and I wouldn't steal or lie if my life would depend on it (only in mafia :ph34r: )! So I'm not like that because I'm scared of God's wrath but because that's really the person that I am and proud of it :)

    I feel great actually :D and I wouldn't want it any other way!

    andromeda: as Izzy said, this is about all aspects of religion and religious debates. The big bang comes up in these kinds of discussions

    That is the very problem, I also mentioned my grandmother btw :P Martini hates when we go too wide in a thread :blink:

    It seems even more unlikely that another dimension or universe created the Big Bang. Otherwise we'd be living in them.

    :offtopic:

    Let's go back to religion or start a new Big Bang topic... you don't want Martini frown!

    Big bang happens, because of that planets form, when earth forms volcanoes form, stromatolites appear, carbon dioxide warms climate, new life forms appear, and we come into the scene.

    Not really. First stars form and then from the dust of dying stars planets form. You and I are also made of star dust ;) and I think that feeling is more magnificent than anything that any religion could come up with :wub:

    Another thing, a chemical reaction could not have started even the simplest life. A single-celled organism is far more complex than, say, a speck of dirt, so life did not evolve from inanimate objects. God was the one who intervened, set conditions right, and started life on Earth.

    Not really. You've been reading the wrong books ;) and like I said in order to question those things you must know little bit more about molecular genetics ;) this is an empirical science not a philosophical conundrum.

    Why do we not just get what we want, ADparker? Well, you're obviously thinking in a shallow way. If you don't get what you want, it's either a test or a lesson. You won't always get what you want, and God's not gonna spoi You. Think about the book of Job. And of course we should apologize to those whom we wrong. I never said not to.

    I don't know if you have looked at the video that ADP linked us to. In that video it's said that research on a huge sample of people shown that "answers" to the prayer are coincidental. I can remember all the things that were said in that video but basically it's been proved that prayer has no effect.

    I can understand that you do believe that from your subjective point of view it does, cause it probably makes you feel better but it doesn't have an actual effect on your health for example. I think you should look at the video if you haven't already.

    :)

    I have wondered this myself. I was baptized prezbyterian and I made the mistake of being confirmed catholic before I got married, now I ant to take them back. I do not believe anything about the spiritual side of those actions, but the point is that other people do. Just as when I go to church with my wife (which happens occasionally, for her grandparents' benefit) I do not take communion. As far as I am concerned, going up to the front and eating a cracker and drinking some wine is just that. I refuse to do so out of respect for those who do believe in trans-substantiation who would be upset or insulted to know an atheist is taking communion in their church. Likewise, I know that communion, baptism and confirmation are considered to be sacraments, the holiest of holy events in a life. Marriage is also a sacrament and there is a solution to that in the eyes of the church, they grant an annulment and basically say that the wedding was non-sacramental for one reason or another and they pretend it never happened. This allows one or both people to be remarried in the church and to continue taking communion... etc.

    I would like the same thing done for my baptism and my confirmation. I would like them annulled. I no longer wish to be considered Catholic nor Christian by anybody who might think I am just a sheep gone astray. I consider myself out, now I want a confirmation so to speak that they consider me out as well.

    Well this is kinda what I was talking about! :D Besides it doesn't matter if I say that I don't believe in that stuff. If I was baptized I was baptized and you all know what that means, a priest at my funeral. Being dead is upsetting enough let alone with someone preaching there. So it's not enough just to say I don't believe in all that stuff so I'm not baptized, but I would have to reverse it in order to avoid having someone talk against my beliefs when I'm dead. That's why an un-baptism is necessary octopuppy ;) Not for me, but for others ;)

    Sigh... This topic was for church edification, not the topic of argument! If you are here to dispute, please don't. New topic: forgiveness. Build on that. -_-

    Why do you only ask questions? Why don't you participate by sharing what's on you mind. The only thing that pops my mind about forgiveness is that evil people (doing really unimaginably bad things) can be granted forgiveness on their death beds just as someone who lived a life of virtue. Now, you'll probably say that they really have to mean that! For the sake of argument lets say that they really do, it still seems a bit unfair! :huh:

    I would really like to hear your opinion on that! :)

    EDIT: No dodging your own questions from now on please ;)

    Involuntary religious conversion... hmm, there's an idea for Uberfaith. If we said that you became a member of our religion if we waved a feather duster at you and said some magic words, would you believe it? If we did it would you feel obliged to consider yourself an Uberfaithist regardless of your personal opinions? I need to know.

    Nevermind... It's futile. I have my reasons.

    Does not compute. You want to be "un-baptized" and still remain part of the church? O.o

    Nooooo... ^_^ no part of anything, that's the whole point! I don't wanna be part of any religion and I am, even though I can say that I'm an agnostic, but still the baptism remains even if I don't believe in all that :rolleyes:

    Are you serious?

    Are you seriously serious?

    Either you believe all that catholic nonsense or you don't. If you don't, you were never baptised. You just had some fool put water on your head while saying a magic spell. I expect your head has had time to dry off by now, in which case it no longer affects you.

    But that ceremony was performed when I was in diapers so I can't say that I wasn't when I was :huh:

    Well even if I don't believe in all that, water was still pored on my head and all my life I've been referring to my godmother, as godmother, in Hungarian it actually sounds nice ;) So I can't just stop calling her that... so basically I wouldn't be reversing baptism for me but for other people, friends and family that believe in that stuff :wacko: I know! Makes no sense.

    Oh just ignore me :duh:
