Unbaptism? Think again...
« on: February 17, 2012, 10:11:17 PM »

I'm surprised someone would go to this much trouble. It's done. You're not getting out of it.

I'm suprised that a court would even hear such a case...Then again, it is France... 8*

It says he was introducted to "free thinkers" in the 70's...More likely he was introduced to weed...LOL

I wish the article would have detailed Mr. LeBouvier's argument that he used in court.   

Mr. LeBouvier appears to be more anti-church than an atheist.  It seems a true atheist would not waste their time and money attempting to erase something that he did not believed existed.

I bet everyone in these people's family want to smack them. If they feel the need to be unbaptized, which is gaggingly annoying and petty, can you imagine how annoying they are about EVERYTHING?


Honey, I'm mad at you! I have to *unkiss* you by kissing this potatoe!

WTF!? Are you serious?

I agree about it being annoying and petty. The only reason I can imagine a person would go to such trouble is that un-doing it is as much of a symbol to them as doing it in the first place.
