I de-converted (and de-baptized myself) from Christianity when I was nineteen.
Once I was outside of my parents' bubble, it was easier to take a look around and realize that God isn't real, and the only reason I was ever a Christian is that I was born and programmed to be that way. I now see my life as finite which makes me value my time and mental well-being much more than I did before.
How do you debaptise yourself? Have some time to kill and wanna do a funni
It was a ritual I made up myself. Since you baptize by water, I debaptized by fire.
I just set up a little tailgate grill, made a small fire, burned my Bible and sprinkled a few drops of my blood onto it. It was a fairly quick thing but very cathartic, as it came on the heels of two years of my brain railing against my programming and I had many, many nightmares about demons and spiritual warfare.
Well, do I wanna burn my Bible or get the 10 euros it might fetch? :neocat_googly:
Might try it :3 I mostly work with crystals.
Wait, does beehaw have emojis?
Do what's best for you. I found burning it to be very empowering.
Oki, thank you
