Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 [quote name='Lilllabettt' post='1824074' date='Apr 3 2009, 08:46 PM']This reminds me of those registries, the "Do not pray for me" lists. As in "I, the undersigned, an unchurched, unsaved heathen, do not want any of you self-righteous Christians to pray for me, or even offer to pray for me. Regards."[/quote] Yet we pray for them anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTOH, I have to believe that these people are hurting pretty badly to be so nonsensically adamant. Guess I'll have to pray for them all, then.

Aloysius Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Quite ridiculous. Of course, I would support them being intellectually honest and going through the procedures to make a formal act of defection from the Catholic Faith so that our numbers would be accurate: [url="http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/intrptxt/documents/rc_pc_intrptxt_doc_20060313_actus-formalis_en.html"]http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontific...ormalis_en.html[/url] but baptism itself cannot be undone. and if they're athiests, they shouldn't even believe it did anything to them anyway, unless they want whatever dirt and skin cells that came off with the pouring on of water back. seems like a perfect case that we should agree to disagree on: we say they're still baptized because it is not possible to undo baptism, and they should (if they were to be consistent) say that they were never baptized because they don't think it's possible to baptize at all.

Hilde Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 I can become the most famous atheist in the world, and write snide books about religion, but I can never be unbaptized. Nope, that's not possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
