Literally, no. The act of baptism is symbolic. If you, intentionally, do not carry out the principles of your belief system, you are, already, not of the community. Baptism is to be re-born . . . and, as in the Christian holy texts, Jesus defended the concept toward one who believed the literal.

There are specific groups (or "cults") who argue differently. I will not go there. I believe that, with the debaptism ritual, the public atheists are attempting to prove, symbolically (and with the huge press involvement), that they are not in agreement toward the motivation for being an upstanding citizen.

Is it really that foolish to believe there was an intelligent being behind the universe as we know it who engineered it in such a way as to ensure the constants and laws of the universe are what they are so we could come into existence? It's not exactly arbitrary like a teapot floating through outer space. There's no more evidence to show a lack of intelligent design than to show existence of intelligent design. Whatever you believe, it's still a matter of faith.

Rather than being appalled by those who don't share your beliefs, you should understand why and try to respect others (we all should that is but there will always be clashes and disagreements).

Cool. Tell you what. You don't call me a fool or idiot for how I believe and how I vote, and I'll give you the same courtesy.

But....I thought Jesus was a real live breathing human being. I am confused by your statement.:eek2: You mean Jesus isn't real? Like Santa isn't real? :shock:
 
Back to de-baptism. Gotcha covered . . . it's really simple: Baptism is cool water on the body. De-baptism is massive sweating in Hell's fire.
 
I have couple questions. where idea of debaptism come from? What theory the debaptism base on?

Is that a joke?

The title "Christ" comes from the Greek word Christos (CristoV) which is a translation of the Hebrew word Messiah meaning "The Anointed One." During the time of the Old Testament, the term "messiah" (the anointed-one) was meant to apply to Kings and High Priests who were "christened" with oil at the time of their inauguration ceremony or when they were given their "powers" of office. During this time, the word "Messiah" never meant or even implied that a person was actually divine. The famous seventy-sevens (weeks) riddle in the Book of Daniel (Dan 9:24-27) mentions three different anointed-ones, the Jewish Temple (Dan 9:24), King Cyrus, the King of Babylon (Dan 9:25, Is 45:1), and the Hebrew High Priest Onias III (Dan 9:26).

Christ 1480 > Jesus 8880

Above is one source. "Christ" is a title. It means Messiah.

Well, it sure is not a secret. I am just very surprised NEWIDME said that since I know she is a college graduate.

Maybe it was a joke. I know she said she has a dry humor.

He may very well have existed but as for the part of him dying and coming back to life? In reality, that would be a near-death experience.

Are you sure his name wasn't Cheezus Crust?

Jesus did not experience near death. He died fully, and was in the grave three days and nights. He resurrected, not resuscitated. A resuscitated person has the same body before and after a near death experience. A resuscitated person will eventually die. A resurrected person gets a new, glorified, eternal body that will never die again. That's the difference.
 
It's your right to believe in that and my right to disagree.

Yup, I feel that thread will move to religion section.

There's no way to de-baptism.
