A question for Roman Catholics.

I was baptized in the Roman Catholic church. I had First Communion, Confirmation... does this mean I am always a Roman Catholic unless I convert to another religion? You see, I was forced into this religion by my parents and no longer want to be in it, or any religion for that matter. I don't say that I am a member of any religion, but am I whether I want to be or not? Or is there some process I go through to get out of the Roman Catholic church? Or am I out because I don't believe and no longer practice?

If I had to say anything, I'd say the last one makes the most logical sense. Of course, the track record on Roman Catholics hasn't been very logical.

It sounds logical, but I do know that if you haven't been to mass in awhile and start going again you are back in the religion. So it would also make sense that I have to go through some sort of ritual to get out completely. My brother got married in a Pentecostal church and was told he is no longer a Roman Catholic.

That's why the Catholic church can brag about such huge numbers, they make it very difficult to get out of it. Really, you're not Catholic if you say you're not Catholic. I'm sorry you got forced into something that's pretty life changing. That's one thing that really bugs me about extremists, they make their children feel like there's no choice.

Choice in what? Not being any religion besides theres?

Well then I think that has to do with parenting skills, and not being an extremest.



Tis a bit funny, I have not gone to church in a long while; I cannot remember ever going to church with my children, however, most of them attend church regularly and I applaude them for it. Go figure .

very tasteless, and offensive



Oh, come on. Anyone who pretends not to see how that could be offensive is playing dumb.

It's a goofy and colloquial representation of something many people consider to be highly serious. Wouldn't you expect a reaction if you put a purple feathered fedora on Buddha, too?



I'm not playing dumb - I AM dumb...

I just don't see why someone would be offended by that. Now if Jesus was giving the middle finger I would understand.



Well, I'm certainly not calling anyone dumb. It's just obvious to me, I suppose. I'll give it another try: it takes something very serious and important to some people, and makes it very goofy. If you can understand why some Native Americans find the Cleveland Indians logo offensive, then you can understand why some Christians find the "Buddy Jesus" images offensive.

Really, making light of a somber subject is the entire point. There's nothing humorous about it if you take away the underlying seriousness. It is the outrageousness, and the contrast between the serious events and their cartoonish depiction, that creates the humor here. Hence, Raz saying it's tasteless, and both Pimp and John concluding that that's why it's funny.



So is a picture of a laughing Jesus offensive? I was told it is but then I saw a picture of a laughing Jesus outside the church across the street.
