Lee R Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 is it fair to christen a baby? or put it into any other religeon? I think not. My little girl was blessed, no god parents , but they were called 'special friends'. Her life was blessed but she remains religeon-less. Therefor she has a clean slate and when shes old enough to choose, she can, afterall, its her decision, not mine obviously I'll influence her that religeon is man made up total shite, but if she chooses different, thats her choice discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxdie Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I think its good to Christian it. He/She can still choose to be apart of something when able to make a sensibly decision. You cant turn back time and do it later (apart from baptism i think is the same for adults) Basically, better done and regretted, then never done and regretted. By not getting her christiand, your taking away something she may regret later in life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pity any child indoctrinated with the dogma of any religiln, and it seems to me that most religions are intransigent and cause more grief in the world than virtually anything except Foxdie . I think you're doing the right thing, but make sure she gets to learn about the various faiths around the world so that she can make a choice, or reject them all, based on her own knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Tenderness Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Its all about how you feel towards it when you get older, if you need spritural leading then you find when ever your old enough to know what your looking for.In the end its there life, there choice. Mcdonalds is my preference, i dont miss a single opportunity to visit! amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
