Baptismal Castration

Catholics believe that everyone is born with the stain of original sin. They also claim that all life is a gift from god. Hence, life is like a fruit basket from god, but with a rotten apple at the bottom of the basket. And the only way to make sure that rotten apple won’t spoil the rest of the fruit is to water board the entire basket.

This water boarding comes in the form of baptism. Baptism is a “sacrament” that Christians believe washes away the stain of original sin, which is said to afflict every human soul since Adam & Eve allowed their curiosity to kill not just the cat, but humanity overall.

Catholics use the water boarding of baptism on infants to wash away that pesky stain, while other Christian denominations require that a person make a conscious choice to be baptized first (however uninformed or misinformed about the religion they are being baptized into they may be). The reason Catholics do this is because, since the child knows nothing of the sin that God allowed that child to be born with - which can only mean that  God necessarily wanted that child to be born that way - nor does it need to know that it is being forgiven for that sin (or again, even very much about the religion they are being baptized into).

Simply put, baptism is performed to return the child to as near a level of innocence as God will permit, which is great if the world was like the Garden of Eden, but it's a jungle out there! 

So aside from the fact that baptism is a "sacrament" that simply  fails to deliver on its promise to make everyone as innocent as Adam & Eve (before their curiosity got the better of them, that is) - and is "intelligently designed" by God to fail to do so in order to foster a lifelong spiritual dependency upon one religion or another - it is also performed on infants without giving those children the right to decide for themselves if they really want that "stain" removed in the first place.

In a world run by greed and "survival of the fittest," in other words, baptism may only end up removing from us the sole asset - our "killer" instinct  - most needed to survive. It's like being declawed and defanged before being released into the wild, with the purpose of hoping to make everyone more peaceful. In fact, it's exactly like gun owners arguing vehemently that "big government" (i.e. God) should confiscate all of their guns!

 Baptism, in this sense, is like a form of spiritual castration, and may only end up turning the "king of the jungle" into a house cat.

Why Ben Shapiro is Wrong About BLM

If Ben Shapiro really wants answers to his condemnations of BLM, he should start by reading a few books, and then some. For example, he can find all of the answer's he's looking for in: Slavery By Another Name , by Douglas Blackmon, which shows how "thousands of African Americans were pulled back into forced labor with shocking force and brutality," right up until the 1970s, when I was still in grade school. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness , by Civil Rights litigator and legal scholar, Michelle Alexander, which explains how "mass incarceration" under the ruse of a War on Drugs, has effectively created a caste system that is as pronounced in America today as it was in the Jim Crow south, if not more. Ghosts of Jim Crow , which was written by Constitutional Law Professor, F. Michael Higgenbotham, which explains in great detail how "the shadows of Jim Crow era laws and attitudes continue to perpetuate insidious, ...

Father Mike's Omniscience About Transgenderism

The major problems in the world are the result of the difference between how nature works and how people think. Gregory Batson I f my perception doesn't match up with reality, it's not reality that has to change, it's my perception.   Fr. Mi ke Schmitz Despite the ever growing mountain of evidence about the nature of transgenderism, Fr. Mike Schmitz simply refuses to change his perception. And that's because his "perception," is not only based on nothing but his "beliefs," but because selling those "beliefs" is his one and only job! The problem, if he were truly trying to follow in the footsteps of Christ, is he would stop trying to sell people what he "believes" is the truth, and he would try to actually start trying to FIND THE TRUTH instead.  NOT DOING SO, however, is simply an act of his own spiritual pride, and nothing else. WHY DO CHRISTIANS PREFER THEIR BELIEFS TO THE TRUTH?  Probably because th...

The Height of Arrogance of Christian Humility

 "To think that the ruler of the universe will run to my assistance and bend the laws of nature for me is the height of arrogance. That implies that everyone else (such as the opposing football team, driver, student, parent) is de -selected, unfavored by God, and that I am special, above it all." Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith: From Preacher to Atheist (Madison, WI: FFRF, 1992), p. 109. What could be more arrogant than to believe in miracles? To believe that the supreme ruler of the universe has not only bent the laws of nature by which everyone else is bound, but that such a ruler did so as a special favor to you, and also as a special message and invitation to you, which that ruler intentionally withholds from everyone else.  Even the person who believes they know something is a miracle believes that their knowledge of miracles is itself a special knowledge, amounting to a kind of miracle in and of itself, that the God who performed the miracle bestows to his chosen ...
