  1. Not by choice?!

    You mean you are forced to believe that saying the right magic words over a cracker (unleavened bread, I know :rolleyes: ) and some fermented grape juice magically turns it into human/god hybrid thingy flesh and blood, even though it sill looks, smells, tastes, feels and even sounds exactly the same?!

    I can see how you are expected to play along with it etc. but can "they" actually control your mind?! :lol:

    Or are you just saying you were baptised as one, and/or are expected to act as one etc.? (IF so then you are no REALLY a Roman Catholic; you just play one.)

    :P

    It seems unfair that I was made a Cristian without my consent. There should be a law about that :dry: Now I probably can't undo it!

    So my question for Bran and anyone else: How can one reverse baptism? I don't want to change religion either :)

    I should ask a priest about this. Actually I have a friend studying theology. I'll ask him and I'll let you know what he said.

    I have nothing against people that believe in God it's just... I wanna choose and decide on my own. I don't like people telling me what to do (my grandmother) and what I should believe in and how to behave (except on BD *waves to Martini and rookie*) :ph34r:

  2. I am new to the site, so I am not sure what will get a person banned. I hope I would at least get a warning from a MOD but I guess I will find out.

    I am sorry to go for the throat like that, but I was not the person bringing up homosexuality in the first place. I made the post that I did, as you will see by reading the conclusion, to point out that fundamentalism is the issue. People who use religion for bigotry, malice or power need to be stopped. As long as religion becomes and remains something used only for the greater good of people with human rights being the core philosophy around which all decisions are made I think it can be a great source of culture, heritage, comfort and guidance. Used or viewed the wrong way, religion is one of the worst things that has ever happened to this world.

    How do you get banned!

    On topic I have just finished reading the book called "Sex Lives of the Popes" by Nigel Cawthorne.

    OMG in the past 2000 years the church was all about power, money and sex. There's nothing explicit in the book really just the list of their "sins".

    What surprised me is that there were a lot of popes that were atheists?! Oh and almost all of them were engaging homosexual sex.

    I haven't checked, but probably none of that is mentioned on other web sites. However they just couldn't hide the sins of the Alexander VI cause he was the worst of all the popes. Yes he is the notorious Rodrigo Borgia! :lol: But the other popes (with few exceptions) weren't so far behind. :rolleyes:

    Oh and pope Gregory VII said that he thought that people reading the bible is not a good idea cause they might start questioning things, and questioning things led to heresy :lol:

    So much about Christianity... I'm a Roman Catholic btw, not by choice :dry:

  3. Thanks woon and Kay! :)

    I'll be PM-ing everyone when it's their turn! ;)
