Did you know that at one point in history, Christians were encouraged to grab Jewish kids off the street and baptize them so they could have Christian souls? That is neither here nor there as far as this secret is concerned, but it reminded me of that horrible fact.

[(Anonymous)]

It was pretty horrible. And they'd tell parents who miscarried or whose infant died before they could be baptized that their babies were in hell. These days most Christian sects don't believe that baptism works like that. They either think it is a symbol (denominations who use infant baptism, for the most part) or they think that kids before they are old enough to understand and therefore be baptized are automatically saved by God.

That happened with my Mom. Her first kid was stillborn and they took him away from her and he was put in an unmarked grave in the back of a church where all the unbaptized hell babies go. She's still kind of fucked up from it.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Wow. That's horribly shitty.

Condolences to your mom, I'm so sorry she's had to deal with all of that.

[(Anonymous)]

All religion is a brainwashed mental illness.

[(Anonymous)]

Easy there, big cheese. Dial it back a notch. I don;t agree with the god botherers myself, but that is a step too far. That is stigmatising mental illness with that association.

[(Anonymous)]

Very true. I apologise.

[(Anonymous)]

You dial back too, starshine. They've been pulled up and apologized. No need to duplicate an existing comment.

[(Anonymous)]

Well aren't you lovely.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT but they didn't really.

[(Anonymous)]

What the actual fuck?

[(Anonymous)]

And sometimes the parents were not then allowed their kids back, because it would be allowing a Christian child to be raised by heathens and infidels. The deep can of awfulness that is history is just the gift that keeps on giving, whether you want it to or not.

[(Anonymous)]

This has nothing to do with the secret at all....

[(Anonymous)]

Both mention baptisms by third parties without parental consent.

[(Anonymous)]

“That is neither here nor there as far as this secret is concerned, but it reminded me of that horrible fact.”

They know. How did you miss that part?

[(Anonymous)]

And some religions just love performing genital mutilation without consent on infants, gee, it's almost as if all shit done to kids in the name of religion is disgusting.

[(Anonymous)]

Did the Flanders mutilate someone's baby? I missed that episode.

[(Anonymous)]

Did the Flanders kidnap Jewish children to baptize them?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, the comment I replied to admitted it had little to do with the actual secret so I assumed all religious criticism was on.

[(Anonymous)]

Meanwhile, circumcising infants in the name of "cleanliness" remains super popular among secular crowds. What's your point?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, that too should be illegal and both suck but doing shit like that for religious reasons with the insistence that outlawing it would be discriminatory is especially sucky.

[(Anonymous)]

I think they wanted to insinuate something antisemitic without coming straight out with it. I get the feeling that is their favorit "fact" they like to jam into every conversation.

[(Anonymous)]

It really isn't. The US isn't the world.

[tabaqui]

Latter Day Saints were doing something like this with Jewish people who died during the Holocaust; 'baptizing' them posthumously so they could go to 'heaven' or some such.
