way too funny and stupid. I'm sure that robed priest is making some good cash out of it. Good for the economy!!!

I was Christened as a baby and although I consider myself an Atheist I have never felt the need to De-Christen myself. I once read an article about a man who took the RCC to court to have his name removed from their records, so that he wouldn't get a Christian burial. I'd have thought that a will would have dealt with that.

I'm sure this just a 'pointless' bit of fun and hopefully not designed to bait any Religious people. Is anyone offended by it?

I don't think anybody is offended. We just think it is silly to try to void something that never had any value (if Christianity is false as these "debaptizers would say").

It's silly and funny. oh well, it helps the economy by having people get together and have a party!

I like it. Better to be up front with one's beliefs than play-act as a Christian amongst the flock. Saves everybody the effort of trying to figure it out.

You don't need to de-baptize, baptizing is a proclamation not salvation. You can go to church everyday and memorize the entire bible and still not know God. If de-baptizing is what atheists believe will confirm their religion then their faith against God isn't very strong at all. It is really their proclamation against belief in God. Atheism is a religion that believe there is no God, ironically some atheistic scientists believe a superior alien from another plant may have created us, but of course his name couldn't be God. lol

I would laugh harder when I watch the discovery channel if I didn't know that those people seriously believe what they are saying.

Discover Channel & History Channel are unreal with some of their remarks. If it weren't for the great photography via my HD TV signal and the fact that these channels are included in my cable package, I wouldn't care for them.

But I think Atheists and the like really respect you when you quote the "discovery channel"...

what atheists believe will confirm their religion

Huh?

Atheism is a religion that believe there is no God

No. Atheism is a term used to describe people who don't believe in a God. They don't necessarily believe there isn't one, just that there isn't evidence to support the belief.

As for panspermia, that is not an Atheistic belief, Sir Isaac Newton believed it, it's just a theory put forward as to how life originated on Earth, (one with more evidence than Genesis), but one not widely held. I personally don't find it particularly satisfying as life still needs to have "originated" somewhere

There isn't a great deal that I would bother with on Discovery Channel. If ou have an interest in sharks or Nazi's then it's great, but American Chopper is hardly the pinnacle of scientific thinking Edgar...

Check the link.

Not panspermia, but God's job is getting easier and easier and less interactive by the day...lol

one can ask: where did the primordial soup come from? Chicken and egg thing. And aren't the scientists serving the role of the intelligent designer?

My best hope is for these guys to understand how cells work so they can come up with better ways to treat deceases and stuff. Answering how life began is a waste of their time.

where did the primordial soup come from?

Chemistry answers that quite easily and in keeping with the panspermia theme, amino acids have been found on comets, which I am obliged to refer to as "the building blocks of life"

My best hope is for these guys to understand how cells work so they can come up with better ways to treat deceases and stuff.

THEY aren't necessarily the same guys. The researchinto the origins of life is more about chemistry than biology. Biology is only relevant once life has started.

Answering how life began is a waste of their time

How can knowing where we came from not be important? Unless there's something to fear in what may be discovered ;-)

By "these guys" I meant scientists in general. I hope that all the research they do leads them to cures and treatments for illnesses.

Where we came is important but not as important as finding cures, etc.

If a genie in a bottle gave you two choices:
Find out where we came from:
or
Find a cure for Cancer:

Which one would you choose?

I'm thinking Cancer...

I totally agree, but they can't all do it. And just because we see know application for something now, that doesn't mean there won't be in the future.

People complained about the amount of money spent on the LHC at CERN, but look at the way particle physics is used to bombard cancerous tumours.
