morning this afternoon

interesting, but pointless

I guess I can say I'm not surprised this came up, but I don't really see the point. Just don't have your kids baptized, at least let them make that call. Simple really.


Also, I had a dream in my fitful hours of sleep about being in a mafia. Either that or a drug company (the pharmaceutical type, not the narcotic type).

It was hard to tell the difference.

I don't get it. I wasn't baptized because my parents left the church before I was born for the sole reason that I would have been born into the State Church otherwise. The priest/whatever-the-fuck-you-call-a-Lutheran-clergyman was concerned and said, 'You know if you leave your child won't be born into the Church' to my visibly pregnant mom. 'Yeah, you're starting to get the point, now remove us before she has the damned thing.' Ahh, my parents. I love them more than they'll ever know hahaha. But yeah, had I been baptized I wouldn't give two shits about it. I guess the only good that could come of this is if it acts as a consciousness raiser, making other potential parents think about indoctrinating their children in the hocus pocus of generations past and maybe, just maybe, let their child choose for him/herself like my folks did.

Hmm...I never thought about actually removing oneself from Church records. I've read that it's kind of a big deal for former Mormons, but I don't think I've ever heard of a recovering Catholic requesting such a thing. I think maybe it's enough to just feel free of it. I'd like to hope the time is long past that they could dig people's names out of the archives and actually hold them to anything. Hope.

"recovering Catholic" should be a new tagline. Carlin had the skit "I used to Irish-Catholic...".

I saw it on a blog somewhere and I was like, wow....I identify with that!
