Amazing - actually using a medical procedure for situations it was designed for. Kudos for that.

This has to be one of the dumbest rituals ever!
Let me get this straight.... a child molester has to say some magic words to convert ordinary water into "holy" water. The child molester then has to say more magic words as he dumps the "holy" water onto the baby's head. The purpose of this is to remove "original sin" from the baby. And the "original sin" was put there by the same deity you're praying to as the child molester removes the "sin"....
WTF?????
How can any reasonably intelligent adult human being think that this makes sense?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?

I recently found out that she wants to have our kid batptized and it makes me sick to my stomach. I seriously thought it was only to appease the older members of her family but after some inquiries I found out it's what she wants. Now I am really dreading the whole thing and probably will throw up a little in my mouth during the ceremony but it's her kid too. I will take the oaths seriously as I will be 'educating' him about God.
You've got a long bumpy road ahead of you as she gets older & her mortality becomes more & more of an issue. Would not want to be in your shoes.

Then they are no longer 'catholics' at least as far as Herr Von Popenfuhrer is concerned. And anyone who STOPS going along with their bullshit is thus automatically a lot smarter than the dumb mother-fuckers who continue to support these criminals.
Get it now?
In no way does not going to Church disqualifies you from being a Catholic.
And if you admit those protesting the actions of the Church are a lot smarter than the others, then the whole "fuck ALL catholics" thing kindda falls apart.
You're being dense. Yes, there are plenty of assholes who cling to the "catholic" label even though they don't go to church, despise the pedophiles running the place and ( most importantly ) stop forking over money to the cocksuckers. The church considers such people outside the church. They also maintain that one can never leave their little fucking club which is little more than chutzpah because I can assure you that I have left it.
I (emphasis there since you don't get it ) make a distinction between those people who are smart enough to separate themselves from the criminal enterprise that is the church and THOSE DUMB SHITS who still show up on their fucking knees every Sunday and adhere to the absurdities of church doctrine. Those are catholics ( I actually agree with Herr Von Popenfuhrer on that one).
And they are dumb fucks.

I've been baptized ... for what it's worth now. lol.
I have a step daughter who is apparently being raised to swallow the myth hook line and sinker like I was. Oh well. I can just hope she grows and develops her own thinking and reasoning capacities.

Not now. She's only 5. But is already talking about Jesus, etc. Maybe when she gets a little older.

Just curious, but what's preventing you from acting now? Am I prodding too much?
