[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It stinks for atheists. If you cave and “just do it” you are unprincipled [/quote] Wrong. You are simply respecting other's beliefs, like when a christian is a guest at a seder.[/quote] Well, not really. Baptizing a child doesn’t equate to “attending a Seder”. A better comparison would be baptism=bris. That said, a lot of families sure don’t see it that way. My ILs view was “I don’t care that you do not believe. You must baptize out of respect for the Catholics in the family. If you do not, you are disrespecting the family and slapping your parents in the face, and this is unforgivable” Not the Church’s view...but strangely they do not care about what Church thinks. It is what it is. But that is why atheists do these rituals, even on their own kids. [/quote]
