If you have ever been baptized, would you ever consider getting de-baptized?

“De-baptism” ceremony is a mockery, and is sad - x.com/protestia/status/1977759733970043151?s=46

Yes, I would

No, I would not

I have never been baptized

I can understand why someone who was baptized—especially if they were later betrayed and attacked by the church—would appreciate an offer to symbolically reverse a sacrament of the offending religion over their lives.

Personally I don't think I would do it. I'm not religious anymore, but I am superstitious, and I wouldn't want to agree to something like that on the spot without knowing more about it. Yes I know it's probably just a joke to a lot of people. But there is power in symbolism and ceremony. Even "dumb" "joke" ones.

I was baptized. I am a committed and practicing Catholic and will be so until I die, so I have no intention or desire to be "de-baptized". Even if I did though, it wouldn't change a thing because baptism is irrevocable and irreversible. It cannot be undone or repeated. Unless that is, you'd been invalidly baptized or were... initiated, let's say, as a Mormon or a Jehovah's Witness.

Since you’re a Catholic, is it true that Catholics have to adhere to the demands of the Pope?

[BCRanger10]

In solemn declarations of faith and morals, so the True Presence of Christ in Holy Communion, the Trinity, the Immaculate Conception of Mary, abortion, and other such things, yes.

In matters like the death penalty or how to help the poor or how to handle immigration though, those are matters that are subject to personal prudence.

I believe nobody would, because when leaving baptism they feel the baptism didn’t count , so lack need to annul it.

I’m sure the woman in the video on X believed she reversed her former baptism during a pride event.

Yeah I was and I find the idea of "de baptism" stupid. Cause if you actually Don't believe in that religious nonsense anymore, You're indirectly still validating it by de baptizing yourself.

[Cidknee]

No, not that there is such a thing. Perhaps one could renounce Christ i don't know.

My mother had me and my brother baptized.

I've never been baptized, and I never would.
