Food for thought.

Good observation. It may very well have been a cult leader you were listening to.

I'm sure of it. If I'm recalling correctly he was a Baptist...

Random question, don't answer if you don't want to.

How many of you Atheists who claim to once be Christian were baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit?

If you were, what made you decide to be baptized?

If you weren't baptized, why not?

I was. Because I wanted to.

Random question,

Ok.

don't answer if you don't want to.

I want to.

How many of you Atheists who claim to once be Christian were baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit?

I was.

If you were, what made you decide to be baptized?

I was taught this was an obedient act and public profession of my faith.

Do you have a point?

 

[ToddNotTodd]

Do you have a point?

Several.

Thanks for your honest answer.

[HitchSlap]

Thanks for your honest answer.

Of course. What kind of answer do you expect, if not honest?

I think he just made it.

I was and I had my kids baptized as well.

I can only judge if an answer seems honest or not after the answer is given.

Just pointing out that your answer seemed honest to me and that's what I was looking for

What process do you use, to determine if an answer is honest or not?

 

[Chriliman]

I was and I had my kids baptized as well.

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, where do your kids stand on the issue?

 

[Chriliman]

What process do you use, to determine if an answer is honest or not?

I use a process called trust. If I trust that someone is being honest and it turns out their not, then that's their problem, not mine.

A, not so random, counterquestion: why do you ask?

(I am not an atheist who claims to have once been a Christian, so your question doesn't apply to me. Just so that you don't think I don't want to answer your question.)

 

[bhsmte]

Interesting. If you don't mind me asking, where do your kids stand on the issue?

My kids were brought up as Christians and I left Christianity about 5 years ago.

Where they stand on Christianity is up to them, as they are of the age now, when they are thinking for themselves.

How do you objectively determine if you trust someone?

How many of you Atheists who claim to once be Christian were baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit?

I don´t know.

If you were, what made you decide to be baptized?

It wasn´t my decision.

Thanks for your honest answer.

Thanks for being honest about your question being random and without any plans to make a point from the responses.
