I did not have a choice growing up, but have since drifted from the church. With our kids, we are raising them, as best as we can with a 'nay sayer' in the house, to be Catholic. When they are 18, they can then choose to continue or not.
I don't really get the 'de-baptize' thing. If you don't believe, than the ritual you went through as an infant really does not mean anything. Its not like it an atheist is wroing they will be forced into heaven because the did not de-baptize. Then again, I am not one of those who don't believe and try to ram it down people's throats (who can be just as annoying as those who try to ram the Bible down your throat) or gets offended when someone says 'Merry Christmas' or 'Have a blessed day' On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 2:29 PM, Casey Dougall<ca...@uberwebsitesolutions.com> wrote: > > On Wed, Jul 22, 2009 at 12:15 PM, G Money <gm0n3...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> >> I find this amusing. >> >> Annoyed that your parents baptized you when you were too young to make up >> your own mind?
