Baptising children, right or wrong?
#26
RE: Baptising children, right or wrong?
I've got no problem with parents baptising their children. They can do whatever they want to their own children as long as it doesn't fall under the category of abuse. Some elements of certain religions can definitely be classified as mental or physical abuse, but i have a hard time calling baptism abuse.

There are lots of things that happen to children before they are old enough to decide for themselves. For example, you don't choose your name. You don't choose where you live. You don't choose what you eat for dinner. That what parents do. When a person is old enough, they can decide to change their name if they find it silly, move where they want if they don't like it, and eat whatever they want. They can even choose to ignore their baptism and call it nonsense.

Baptism is not a violation of anyone's rights.
