Basically, I was dating this girl for a year and things were actually going really well. The only problem was that her parents were racist against someone of my ethnicity but we never let that get in the way. In fact it may of even made our relationship stronger. So basically we went to different colleges and she was starting to get depressed that we could never see each other. Meanwhile, there was a boy at her college that I could very easily tell was interested in her. She constantly assured me that she was not interested in him. Fast forwarding through my fall semester she ended up breaking up with me right after Thanksgiving and we didn't talk again until Christmas and she told me that she had sex with that guy and that she regretted it. Even though we broke up I was angry and stopped talking to her again. then like 4 months go by and we start talking again and i find out she had sex with him several more times.. she still claims never to have felt anything for him but she was just emotionally numb and didn't care about anything.. I know thats not an excuse for anyhing but I do seriously love this girl. The fact that she is pregnant is KILLING ME.. Especially since i've hated the dude since day one but I feel even worse without her in my life.. like emotionally dead.. and I didn't take her back but i assured her Id be here for her... and Im just not sure if its right.. I feel like if I truly love her I should be able to move pass this.. I believe she's putting the child up for adoption in order to return to school but.. Should I keep talking to her? or should I teach her a lesson and stop talking to her? I honestly dont know if im capable of just being friends with her either.. Its kina all or nothing in this case.. My honest opinion is that I love her and I want what we had back more than anything..

Baptism is a ritual act signifying one's adoption into the faith. There are some strains of Christianity which believe, even to this day, that those who have not been baptized are doomed to go to hell.

Do you put much stock in baptism? Do you think it's right for parents to have their children baptized as infants, or do you think that should be a choice made by the individual once they're old enough to decide if they want it for themselves?
