I was Christened as a child and now I haven't been to church in 5 years. Go Methodists, the denomination that doesn't really care.
I found this particularly funny. ;)Quote:

You're right, too. The Catholics believe that most of the sacriments need to be observed, and they bring with them salvation. Got baptised? Saved. Eat the eucharist? Saved! It's a bit more involved than that, and I'm sure frostwolf ex will tell us, as a healithy belief in Jesus is required as well.
As a matter of fact, the only sacriment that doesn't save is marriage. WTF is with that?!
Because you can fuck up a marriage. I mean how badly can someone fuck up a Baptism?

Id almost say marriage in necisarry for salvation for some people, or least, or extreamly helpful.
But in the end that really depends on your opinion of the new testments standpoint on love. IMO love plays a importent part in faith. Having said that having a very good marriage can be helpful. Some groups also go as far to compare the relationship of christ to the church as the marriage between a man and a woman. But then again, this sort of thing changes from church to church.
Veg I'm glad you found that funny. The sad thing is just how true it is. Everytime I think of a Cath Baptism, I think of those healing statues or pools in the Lunar RPG games.
~~you have been baptised, your MP/HP is fully restored~~
Catholics belived that if a child died before being baptised that they would be condemned to limbo for eternity so I was baptised when I was 1 and a half month old.
Yeah.

you know, ive always wondered about Jesus. he wasn't baptised untill he was 30, ponder that one
Lets not and say we did.
I was baptized but the priest was drunk and henceforth Nicole ended up on my birth certificate instead of Nicolas. You just know what that Catholic priest had in his head.
