Hi, I'm a 20 year old boy. All my life I've been an unbeliever and considered myself an atheist, but a few days ago at our family dinner I was told that I was baptized and that I should be a Christian !! I was so angry ... they doomed me to some stupid simplicity, which I personally hate and I don't see any sense in it! I'd rather believe in myself and my own abilities than in some bearded uncle who supposedly protected me by not taking his eyes off my ass! Is there any way to be a TRUE atheist or will I live with this nonsense for the rest of my life? I don't believe in principle, but I was baptized ... and I just don't understand why and how not to be a Christian ?? I don't want to offend anyone with my words, I was just very angry when they told me that I was, as if they were forcing me into what to believe and what not .. :( So my question is: What should I do to not be a Christian, and does it have anything to do with being baptized and how can I correct this mistake at all? Please post my story, I really want to get rid of this thing and sorry if I made a mistake, Thank you!

   Don't you have any more serious worries, so you deal with nonsense? When you are named what? No one makes you believe in anything or do anything ... If you want to be an atheist - OK, this baptism would not change anything. I am not religious either, but I cannot call myself an atheist, simply because I cannot deny the existence of something that I cannot know if it exists.

   Being baptized means nothing. In principle, religion is accepted of one's own free will and with personal commitment. However, in order to profess a religion, it is not enough to just do a ceremony once and hop to be religious. This is related to certain understandings, beliefs, etc., which no one can force on you. In that sense, you are not a Christian. You can be a Christian if you define yourself as such, if you share certain values, beliefs, etc. If you do not define yourself as such and do not agree with the whole philosophy and have your own one (whether it is related to any beliefs or their denial), you are automatically NOT a Christian and no ceremonies are needed to "excommunicate". Religion is an inner conviction that you choose to have or not. No way,

   I did not know that Bulgarians are unbelievers. We are obviously mistaken. Look, I'm not going to waste my time explaining anything to you, I just want to tell you that it's not a bad thing to be named. We are all Russians because we are Christians and it is not normal not to practice our religion. You insult God very badly, this is not one of the best things. I know Americans who, with all their impudence, came to visit our Russian Orthodox Church and began to break icons. I don't know what happened since then, but they didn't see me in broad daylight. The president told us that all the broken icons would be re-painted and repaired. In general, we hate Americans, but to come and smash icons is already too much - we are not going to America to break their pictures of Satan (there are some), and why do they do it. So since then everything bad has been on them. Just measure your words, that's what I want to tell you. You don't believe so well, but I didn't expect you to offend your father. I say my father because there is no other logical explanation for the creation of the world and man. Otherwise, there were Americans before who were baptized, but then they denied it. The general explained to me how it happened. So they are renamed Satanists, that is, they attend sects and do not enter churches and so on. I'm not going to tell you everything else about me is wrong, but once you've decided that ... in time you'll understand what it is. Have you ever visited a monastery? I know many Russian and Bulgarian monks who have told me that every night after the pencil they dream of God in his three images, I do not know if this is true as he would explain. I think it's because of their pure prayers. I think there are monks on the island of Apollo. When we went there, they told us everything. In your Bulgarian monasteries, which I managed to visit this year, at least in Sofia, there are gospels in Latin and Russian. So let me ask how would you explain why they dream of him as he does not exist? Count Dakula

   If you do not believe that baptism has made you a Christian, why do you want another religious act to make you a non-Christian?

   This is the dumbest thing I've ever read. I'd rather believe in myself and my own abilities than in some bearded uncle who supposedly protected me by not taking his eyes off me! It is not said that way about God, faith gives us strength to continue. You describe God as a bad uncle, and you are a spoiled malnourished mother who mocks religion.

   Being baptized does not automatically make you a Christian. This is a sign that you belong to a Christian nation. They did it for good. Such is the Orthodox tradition - children are baptized very young. This is not the case in evangelical Protestant churches. They do not baptize small children there, but only big people who have wished for it themselves. It is believed that one must be reasonable and responsible enough to make such a decision. I think only a priest can explain to you exactly how denial works. However, I want to advise you to think at least 300 times before you do.

   Religion is the chalga of spirituality. Of course, you do not have to observe and believe in anything! Your beliefs and understandings of the world should depend only on the depth in which you know it. If they are atheistic - be and consider yourself an atheist! That someone christened you - heh, he just made the party! Do you remember that he did it for himself and for people's opinion, not for you? The conclusion you need to make is not to cause your children such insanities - to baptize or circumcise them without asking them.

SUBDIRTYX answered · October 20, 2020

   Believe in what you want! If you don't want to believe, don't, it's your choice and being baptized doesn't change the fact that you can be an atheist! But remember one Bulgaria has always been strong when people were believers! If you don't believe you can check the story. I also don't believe in an bearded uncle, but I do believe that there is some omnipotent energy. If you look closely and think about some events, how they happen is not accidental and there is a reason for that. Besides, fortune tellers like Vanga and Slava Sevryukova say that there is some higher mind!

   And my father is baptized, but he is not a believer, no one can make you do anything. There is a higher power for sure, but it is definitely not "some bearded uncle who supposedly protected me by not taking his eyes off my ass."

   Do you really believe that pouring holy water from a priest when you were little changed you in any way? If you are an atheist, this ritual practice will have absolutely no meaning for you. Rejoice that you were not born into a Muslim family, because circumcision is irreversible.

   Being baptized has nothing to do with being a Christian - religion is determined solely by your own understandings and way of life, not by your parents' choices. She is in the heart, like love, you can't be "married" to her without wanting to. But it is very, very unfortunate that you have such an idea of ​​her - as if you saw her in a children's movie - she can not and should not be an obstacle to believe in your own strength or be a reason to believe in Santa Claus. As I said, basically, not in the animated version, religion consists of ideas and understandings. Sage

   It is important that you take baptism seriously. Since you are not a Christian at heart, it doesn't matter that you are baptized. This should not be a nationality or something like that ... It is different for you to be circumcised, be glad that they have only poured holy water on you. I am an agnostic, but my family celebrates Christmas, Easter and I celebrate with them, but that does not make me a Christian. P. S: God is not a "bearded uncle" - you take things very literally and I doubt you understand religion at all. In order to deny something, you must first understand it.

bashurverse answered · October 20, 2020

   I wholeheartedly support the comment under number 1. I also find it extremely foolish to baptize children under 18 years of age. In my opinion, this is a right of personal choice. It's all because it's fashionable now for everyone to be baptized and to fill the throats of churches. I do not approve of this at all. There are really believing people (not bad) who do not have money and cannot baptize their children. What faith are we talking about. Or believing parents who baptize small babies. Madness !!! I'm also an atheist and I'm baptized, but I don't care. Either way, that doesn't change anything. I just don't believe in anything but myself.

   Oops, oops, oops ... Man, get comfortable. No one can doom you to anything. Every person, when he reaches a certain, conscious age, must choose whether to believe, to live according to his faith in Jesus or not. I assure you, run away from religion because it is dead. And life with God is what it seeks, not religion. Everyone chooses for themselves. Rest assured, yours didn't do anything to you. But yes, you have to choose, and if you don't choose God, you automatically choose the devil. "You cannot happen to two masters, because you will hate one and love the other

CrushOnMe_ answered · October 21, 2020

   I also hate religion. Many call me "atheist" but I am. Take the apostles, for example. First of all, I'm really annoyed. Well, they didn't behave badly after Christ's death, but while he was alive, did he see any benefit from them? Nothing! They just passed it on. Of all the Bible, they are the most unsympathetic to me. If you want to know the truth, after Christ, I like the most in the Bible the madman who lived in the tombs and always cut himself on stones. This unfortunate fool is ten times more sympathetic to me than the apostles. And I also can't stand the priests! The voice of the priests was pretending to be pious as they read sermons to us. God, how I hate that. I don't see why they shouldn't speak in a natural voice. It sounds so false when they talk.

   Well, a baptism doesn't make you a Christian because it becomes one. You are arrogant from your words - you want to do everything yourself. I made the same mistake myself, I tried to succeed with everything on my own, but I failed. Religion teaches you to do good from the heart, but if you can't stand it ... I don't understand anything, it's easier to turn off the light inside you than to illuminate the darkness around you

SageAmbrose answered · October 21, 2020

   Oh, you're obviously too limited to react like that. Being baptized should mean that you are a Christian, but a true Christian is a believer and you are not - so what's your problem? !! And the topic you touch on, by the way, is one of the leading issues in Christianity, and after 1517 churches were formed, according to which a person should be baptized when he is old enough to realize his faith and religion. To get rid of this thing - of what thing? The religion you deny, the faith you don't have, the baptism you can't bring back and change?

   From the author:) To number 1. No, I have ABSOLUTELY no more serious worries, so I deal with "nonsense". To number 2. Thanks for the comprehensive answer. To number 3. A sick fruit of the imagination will never be my father, neither mentally nor physically. Never! No, I have not visited a monastery, I will not do it. You dream what you thought about just before you fell asleep, it is normal after hearing such a humorous simplicity to be excited and think about it. To number 4. I believe that an idea has made me closer to a weak person who needs to invent people and that makes him think and believes that they will protect him. To number 5. The malnourished mother, mocking religion, is very offended and plans to go to the corner to cry. To number 6. Thanks for the answer. I have thought about it enough and I am determined to do it. To number 7. A normally thinking person. I lived to see it! I completely agree with your opinion, but personally I am annoyed by the fact that my parents are trying to control me with such an absurd thing - faith. To number 8. I am not You. And if you believe in fortune tellers, well done, but not me, thank you. To number 9. Did you send greetings to your father then? !! To number 10. I can't be a true atheist until I get rid of "Christianity." I don't like it, and don't worry, I'm glad. To number 11. And precisely because I don't want to, we will divorce her now :). To number 12. Well done to you, but I don't want any religion to touch me. To number 13. Like number 12. To number 14. Is everything in contrast for you? !! If I had not chosen God, it would automatically be the Devil. It's full of jokers here! To number 15. I agree with you. To number 16. The arrogant one is very excited about his new nickname. What age do you live in, MA? In the first? It hurts a lot if you failed and what you did. YOU are YOU, I am ME! Do you understand? !! Good day. The conclusion I came to was that half of them didn't understand the question, and others were trying to make me feel bad for the words I said. You will succeed - but in another life :). To others, thank you for answering my question. Can someone more competent explain to me above - below how the denial is done? Or go straight to a church and ask right there? Thanks! and others try to make me feel bad for the words I say. You will succeed - but in another life :). To others, thank you for answering my question.

   I see that the topic has already swelled and my comment will be like another spam, but I did not refrain. What does it mean to want to be an atheist? No one can impose faith on you, yet one believes in what one sees and can touch. How did you, as an atheist, give an image of God? Bearded uncle !! How do you know she's an uncle with a beard? Why, if you don't believe, do you want an atheist ceremony? In fact, you don't have to answer, I didn't believe you either, but the more you study man and all living organisms, the more you realize that you were created and not the result of some natural evolution caused by the sun shining and water wetting. It's like looking at a tablet and trying to convince yourself that it's not made of intelligent intelligence, but trying to explain it by assuming that the stone has shattered the rock on the sand under the influence of the strong sun. which from the high temperature has turned into glass and the iron ore in the rock in a unique way from the activity of wind, corrosion and high temperature has been arranged in wonderful chips and integrals, which even connected to the glass in front and got a touchscreen display. the little nickel is sealed in the plastic that came from the oil that exploded, etc. Sounds amazing doesn't it? And now imagine that this tablet has legs and can charge itself, imagine that it connects to another tablet and then a tiny tablet comes out of the yusby that starts to grow and after years becomes a big 10 inch tablet. It became even more amazing, didn't it? And now remember that man is many times, many times more complex than the tablet. Look at the structure of nucleobases and the billions of proteins arranged in a specific order, this is human DNA, only a complete brainless person might think that this thing came from the air and the sunshine. We are created, we have a creator, another question is whether it is really what religions impose on us and whether this creator really wants us to live according to his canons. This is what religions say, how they know it and whether you have to believe them is your choice, but this should not confuse you and reject the obvious that everything on this planet, including humans, is created by a creator. God called him either just a creator or a higher mind, but he has it.

   Hah, I'm baptized too, but that doesn't stop me from being a Satanist. I'm not happy that I was baptized, but it happened and it can't go wrong. Be an atheist ... wait, you're an atheist. You don't believe and no one can make you believe. If you don't fade, then the benefit of your baptism is that you have a leaf, you can be a godfather and get married in a church ... and yes, at some point in your childhood a fat singing priest drowned you in a basin of water. You are an atheist! Where is your problem? A leaf cannot change what is in your soul and heart!

   While rummaging around for the same reason that I do not want to be a Christian, I am angry that I was baptized as a baby, etc. and I was looking for information and ways to get rid of such nonsense, I came across this post and unfortunately she is the only one I find. Obviously there is no way to give up this simplicity also called 'religion' ... you just don't have to believe. But the fact that I was baptized irritates me a lot and I want to ... um, there is no such word, but I will call it 'dischristianity': D So, if you have found a way to give up the truth of this nonsense, give a comment . I really hope there is such a way, because none of the commenters understand what you mean, but apparently I understand you because I have the same 'problem'

I just want to say that you have no right to blaspheme in this way, since you know nothing. Well people, have you forgotten that Bulgaria is a Christian country !? Why are you against the faith !? It will not harm anyone! From people like you, I just want to throw up / with an apology / somewhere .... You are too confident, but one day it will turn against you. And this "bearded uncle" has sacrificed his life for a mold like you and others. It's really time to turn to the faith people, I still do not have much experience, but I tell you to do it before it's too late .... Ah, I guess I forgot to mention how old I am - 13 / girl / Note: I didn't have time to read the other comments. Thanks for your time and sorry for the spelling mistakes. And by the way, it is not the politicians who are to blame for the things that are happening to us, but the lack of faith. ;)
