Un-Baptism?

From Breitbart.com: Following Atheist Trend, Britons Seek 'De-Baptism'

More than 100,000 Britons have recently downloaded "certificates of de-baptism" from the Internet to renounce their Christian faith.

The initiative launched by a group called the National Secular Society (NSS) follows atheist campaigns here and elsewhere, including a London bus poster which triggered protests by proclaiming "There's probably no God."


"We now produce a certificate on parchment and we have sold 1,500 units at three pounds (4.35 dollars, 3.20 euros) a pop," said NSS president Terry Sanderson, 58.

Shame on the NSS, taking advantage of the stupid! If they were truly serious about helping people "de-Christianize", they wouldn't be charging for the certificates. The mere fact that some are willing to part with their money in order to prove that they don't believe in their baptism is ridiculously ironic.

Or they would take the advice of The Curt Jester: "Lame! If they want to do it right they need to do what Julian the Apostate did. He baptized himself in bull's blood to be de-baptized. Sure that is just as ineffective as an internet certificate, but it at least shows commitment."

Christ wondered if any will still have faith upon his return. Seems like there will be a bunch who will have the paperwork to prove they don't.
