Bonzo77 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I'm not an atheist but I can respect an atheist for their views on religion because they're clear on where they stand. But you.................? You are a total enigma I know where I stand too. Not everyone can say that. My wife, for a start. She is not religious but if you ask her whether she believes in God she would probably say that she doesn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Is the non existent God you are taking your child to the house of to be baptised the same as his mythical son was, what a plonker you are sounding. I am an atheist and aren't you MAN enough to tell your family the truth:roll: What are you talking about? When did I say that my family don't know the truth?? My family know that I don't believe in God! ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julado Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Get off your soap box & stop being a total idiot!! How can you say that you pitty my child for crying out loud?!? Have you got children? Have you got a family that you care for and would do ANYTHING for?? Just because you chose to do things differently so someone else doesen't give you the right to pitty them, who do you think you are?? Why do I pity your child? Because he has got to grow up with you as a role model Yes I have a child.....and I have a whole family that I care deeply for and would do anything for them. Thing is my family would not expect me to go through some charade for whatever stupid reason you are doing it for. You don't believe, you say your parents or grandparents don't believe....sheeple! Who do I think I am??? Not a hypocrite with no morals or values that's for certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julado Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 There isn't such things as god!! Are you not MAN enough to live your own life without looking to your Imaginary friend for advice? Then why USE His house and his ceremonies then....makes you look incredibly stupid at the very least. Why don't you just take your non-believing family down to the local boozer and splash the baby with some lager whilst promising it that one say you will show it Anfield. On the second point you are right...I am not MAN enough....but I am WOMAN enough. Woman enough to do right by my child. I wasn't a Christian when I gave birth and would never have had my son Christened, dedicated or whatever....despite the family who wanted it at the time. I didn't believe then and no way would I be disrespectful to those who did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say I'm not because I'm having him christened as a none religious person is a bit of an over reaction don't you think? I care for my son, I protect my son and family, I would do anything for them. I have worked hard enough to make sure he will have the best start in life as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you consider it to be the best start???? Surely for any non-believer the best start would be to keep him as far away as possible from anything to do with God. It's not about any act...it's about your motive and intention. Enjoy your event....God WILL be watching you....after all you will be in HIS house.

Because I am a Christian....and I cannot see the logic in any way, shape or form for you to have your child christened in a Church, before a congregation and blatantly tell lies....I just can't get my head round why??? Are you actually reading what people are saying on here....there is little support for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofstrad Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 On reading the title I thought this thread was about something else. There have been a group of religiony folk pressing the intercom on my gates for the past week. I have nothing against their beliefs, but I don't want them coming to my private space trying to ram them down my throat! Know what I mean?

I don't really care about whether you think it's right or not. As far as telling lies is concerned, I'm not the onlyone there who will be doing that! The vicar will be doing her fair share as well.
