I am thinking of promoting myself to "Advanced Beginner". Would that be too over the top?

It's a joke; he means that he has no qualification in anything.

When I was young I got letters titles Master Matthew Boxall, I used to enjoy that...

I am actually a Reverend, I got ordained online for a joke, and I can open a parish in California...coolies....

So now we have God and a minister of the faith posting on the same thread?;)

All bow down: There is no God but Kimpatsu and Matt is his Prophet!:D

See Matt, from 'Reverend' to 'Phrophet' in one easy step!:D

Ah ha!

We'll see what Tony has to say about that, It was for the Eterntal Life church - they aim to bring all beliefs together, but i did it for the free silly certificate ^___^

Sometimes my hands and feet do bleed, but that's only after hardcore Randori! ;)

I think it's a great idea. I'm all for pricking the pomposity of the church. Only today, I read that the Cathlic Church has been telling lies (http://www.guardian.co.uk/aids/story/0,7369,1059068,00.html) in order to force their dogma on people.
Actually, I've been debaptised by the National Secular Society. (http://www.secularism.org.uk/baptism.htm) Everyone should try it; it's great fun!

The Catholic church has a reputation to hold up to :rolleyes:

Sorry, once your baptised that's it, no going backwards.

Renounce all you want, once you are baptised, it is for a lifetime. You can only do it once and it cannot be umdone.

Again, to go to this extreme proves you belive there is something to deny. Painted yourself into a corner again, but I am sure you will say it was just a joke.

and

Both wrong!:D Tony, I think you will find that whatever church you were babtised into will still consider you babtised whether you like it or not. You could try and get yourself ex-communicated though...:D

Were you babtised Catholic? If so I am afraid the Catholic Church will not recognise your un-babtising by the National Secular Society as they wouldn't even recognise you as being babtised if you had it done by a Protestant Church (and probably vice versa). If you were babtised Protestant you can rest easy as the Catholics think you are in bed with the devil already (and vice versa)!

I am so happy that I was never babtised into any church of any description. God Bless you mum and dad! (Oh, wait...God doesn't exist...):)

Of course it can be undone; I did it. I renounce it, because I wasn't and never have been a Xpian.

Protestants do recognize baptism by the Catholic church. The Catholic church statements are true to my understanding.

I don't see how. I wasn't old enough to become a Catholic, or any other kind of Xpian. Only adults are old enough to decide what superstition they want to follow, or none at all. Children can't.

I agree with you Tony but I am afraid the church doesn't. Once you have been in their clutches for even a second they consider you one of theirs unless you do something so bad they ex-communicate you, and I think you have to be an English monarch for that to work.... Still doesn't guarantee you will go to their heaven though, in fact it is probably a 'do not collect £200' ticket straight to hell!:D

Face it Kimpatsu, you are going to roast with the Devil!!!!!!:saw: (See you down there, pal...);)

Then the church is wrong. We don't talk of Keysian children or monetarist children when we mean children of Keysian of monetarist parents; similarly, there is no such thing as a Catholic child. Only children of Catholic parents.

It is my uderstanding that if you really want it, you can be excommunicated upon request. Of course, no organization has the right to claim you as a member against your will, so it really isn't an issue.

You are allowed to assault those who insist you are a member of their organization if they are going to be a jerk about it.

those who would argue that you can't "unbaptize" your self because the church does not recognize it are looking at the issue superficialy. The fact is, it is not important what the church has written down in its archive somewhere. Its important only to the induvidual and perhaps those close to him. the certificate just does a nice job of articulating that belief. however this is only true if you see baptism as a spiritual process, not simply dunking a baby in dogma water. It is true that you can't un-dunk someone.

Richard Dawkins is an ordained minister. He downloaded the certificate from the internet as a joke. It means that he's licenced to perform weddings.

And you are allowed to go to jail for assault also. I think everyone should assault jerks :rolleyes:

If it does not exist then where do you live?? In Tokyo?? Maybe what Mr. Wallace is trying to say is see you in Detroit. Sort of a hellish place at times.
