Pshhh... I really don't know how to put in words. It has to do with the people and their beliefs in the rural area of my country. I live in the city but the rest of my family lives in the countryside hence the different beliefs.
OK for example my aunt believes in various superstition, for example:
If you are going somewhere for example to buy something or pay the bills or whatever and if you leave your house and then remember that you forgot to take your umbrella for example and the forecast is that it'll be raining you shouldn’t go back in the house cause it’s a bad thing to do, cause she believes that in that case whatever you were about to do that day will fail. You’ll fail to buy the things you wanted and you’ll fail to pay your bills because you went back to fetch your umbrella and by the superstition it’s a bad thing to do. So you better go without your umbrella cause if you go back to get it it’s better to stay home cause nothing that you wanted to accomplish that day will be the way you wanted. So if you go back after you locked the door that day will turn into one of those days when nothing turns out the way you wanted.
I don’t believe in that superstition and I always go back when I forget something and I don’t really pay attention to how the day turns out. Sometimes I don’t get things accomplished even if I do everything right by those superstition standards (to be honest I don’t really pay attention to any of them for that matter so I don’t really know am I doing everything right by those standards?!). It’s all coincedential as far as I’m concerned.
However… if I would be going somewhere with my aunt and I remembered that I forgot something I wouldn’t have gone back into the house to get it cause she believes in that superstition. If I were alone of course I would go back in a heartbeat without thinking about the consequences of "what I've done".
(Some fine paradox could be extracted out of this gibberish )
So what would I want to accomplish with reversing baptism. Well it’s the only way they would take my atheism seriously. By they I mean my large family and they are all like my aunt, well not all of them, but a lot of them. So if I only say that I don’t believe in God, or what the bible says and the lot they would just discard that saying that I can’t say that I wasn’t baptized when I was, but by reversing baptism they would take my atheism seriously, or so I think. Of course they would be disappointed but they would take it seriously.
I really don’t know how else to explain it. I don’t wanna start listing all the crazy superstition that my aunt believes in cause this is not a tread about that (but boy you wouldn’t believe, and not just my aunt). I only used superstition as an example to try to express what I wanted to say by reversing baptism.
There…
