    I don't consider 'giddy' to be a manly state of being but the idea that this actually happened (atheists getting de-baptized) actually might be making me giddy. Either that or I'm just being tickled by an invisible feather. The sensations are so similar... Either way, I love that this happened.

    I was never baptized, and I completely see the humor in this. What surprises me are all the grumpy ol' atheists leaving their reviews about the dangers of "organizing" and "involving the children". How silly. Do guys that get together every Monday night for football constitute a "football religion"? Do scrapbooking or book clubs that organize monthly qualify for tax-exempt status because they are religious institutions? I don't think so. Atheist gatherings are just that. A bunch of likeminded people getting together to socialize. There's no religious aspect about it. Being a grumpy solitary atheist is your choice, but don't begrudge the rest of us the fun of hanging out with other people who won't constantly ask, "So what church do you belong to?" And as far as those complaining about "involving the children", I say mind your own damn business about where I take my kid. My son attends all of our atheist functions. He's even featured on the website! He also likes to hear the gospel church choir on television and loves looking at all of my religious art books. You see, unlike religious folk, atheists don't have to adhere to an archaic set of rules and guidelines that forbid them from expanding their minds to new ideas. My son will learn about all religions, will be taken to different places of worship should he be curious, but he will also be exposed to why mommy and daddy don't believe. Whatever he chooses is up to him. And as many atheists were raised religious to begin with, the argument that "exposing children" to atheism will breed more atheists is a fallacy.

    I can't believe Christians actually came to protest it.

    I'm with Feminition. The fuck is wrong with you people? The entire point was for it to be a hilarious gathering of nonbelievers in the goal to raise awareness of the irreligious group and to have fun doing it. Personally, I'm against groups, congregations, social circles, and what have you. I'm also against any sort of symbolism; but I still find it a great idea because the one thing more crushing than being different in a world of people constantly trying to put you down because you're different is being different in that world and forever being the only person different, and thus guaranteeing that you'll never have rights or the respect of common decency delivered to you.

    I don't see why people are taking it so seriously. It's for fun, man, not for tradition or ritualism. Remove the stick shoved firmly in your ass, people.

    As someone who was there, I can tell you that this was not a "ceremony" or "ritual" in the religious sense. It was more like a conga line. Just a little game playing on our lack of belief. This meeting was the first "large scale" atheist gathering I've ever encountered in Columbus. It's main goal was to bring a group together to show us that we're really not alone here. It was about community building. And for those who say that "the children should be left out of it," you have to realize that when nonbelieving kids go to school religious kids won't just let it slide. The kids have to know why their parents believe what they believe and expect harassment from religious kids AND parents.

    how can you be debaptized? if you don't believe then technically you were never baptized in the first place. your parents just had some person get your wet.
