Apostasy pointless in Poland?
March 23, 2014 at 9:21 am
I was thinking about apostasy, although i never felt i need that piece of paper. But in the last couple of days i started thinking about it more seriously.
So i went and looked up apostasy on a polish wiki page. It said at the very end that apostasy isn't equivallent to removing you from ranks of catholics. It only excludes you from the religious sacraments such as holy mass, weddings etc. (which i'm not using anyway, duh  ) It said the reason for that is when you were baptised, the fromal leave of the catholic church is not possible... and they added the quote at the end: "Once a catholic, always a catholic".
So now it seems for me a bit pointless to go through all that crap. I guess that is why my country has around 90% believers. Is it the same everywhere or i just have a bad luck living where i live ?

Hey, churches are dishonest in almost every other respect, dishonest administrative practices are pretty much just par for the course.

I knew that for a long time, although it would be nice not to be formally associated with "those bastards".
I never realised it was such a BS trying to leave the church.

Quote:"Once a catholic, always a catholic".
Send the pope a certified letter that says "fuck off" in Latin. They'll get the hint.

You have seen how apologists twist language, right? I wouldn't put my trust in any language to be received as intended, should that intent contradict what a religious person wants to be true.

Couldn't you just do something fun that gets you excommunicated? That would take care of everything, and they do all the paperwork!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

The trick is to figure out how to say "Fuck Off" in Latin.
Maybe this would work?
