![]() ![]() If she can just go around and baptize my brother, why can’t I do the same to her?ĪITA if I do not comply with my parent’s wishes?. I am supposed to make a show of “de-baptizing” her and declaring her Christian again.I am just tired of everybody constantly talking about religions and fed up with my aunt and everybody’s endurance of her. My mother says she understands why I did what I did, but that I need to “undo” it to keep the peace. Now, she told the whole family about it and my grandparents and other relatives have been bombarding my mother with hateful messages. Once she realized, she could not convince me, she stormed out of the house. I will be honest, I enjoyed the expressions of shock and then panic on her face. Then I declared her to be now baptized a witch and the lawful wife of Satan. While they were still screaming at each other, I poured the water over her. In a moment of anger, I went to my room to get one of my pots (I have one pot in the shape of a skull) and filled it with water. She HAD TO act because my mother obviously couldn’t be brought to her senses and someone had to save the boy. To summarize my aunt’s words: she could not believe that our mother was wilfully condemning us to hell and that it was no wonder I had become a satanic witch. As I already mentioned, my parents strongly believe, that everyone should be able to choose their own beliefs and not join a church until one is old enough to make an informed decision. My aunt proudly confessed to having “saved” my brother and a screaming match ensued. Here’s that bit of the story:Īfter my brother told my mother about the incident (which my aunt told him not to do), she confronted my aunt on her next visit. After the pious aunt secretly made an appointment with a priest to get the girl’s younger brother baptized, and apparently went through with it, the girl was incensed and decided to “baptize” her aunt as a witch and the wife of Satan. ![]() The original story describes how a teenage girl’s aunt kept pressuring her to adopt Christianity, even though her parents believed in letting children choose their own religion. How could I resist promulgating religious nonbelief on a site that gets 120 million views per month? I couldn’t, so when Bored Panda wrote me asking me to comment on a story a story from Reddit about religious indoctrination of children, how could I refuse? ![]()
