Phillip Pullman makes it clear
While promoting his new book "The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ", Phillip Pullman is asked about the apparent offensiveness of that title. His response is succinct and unambiguous.
New Ad Campaign
The Catholic Church has a new ad campaign trying to lure it wayward members back into the fold. It features lists of thing that Catholics have done for humanity and how wonderful it's always been to the people of the world. Well, I think a little counter point is in order. Here is my first attempt: a counter-ad.

Cheap shot? Sure... doesn't mean it's not true.
Congressman to Bishops Pawn
There are lots of ways to influence a person. Honest influence uses argument and reason, debate and intellect. Dishonest methods use coercion and threat, manipulation and blackmail.
Bishop Thomas J. Tobin is a dishonest man. Rather than having the weight of evidence and argument, he resorts to emotional extortion and threats of damnation.
Congressman Patrick Kennedy, of Rhode Island (not really an island, if you didn't know) had the audacity and the unmitigated gall to stand up for his principles in defiance of a group that considers itself the ultimate authority on all things: the Catholic Church! You see, the Catholic Church doesn't like abortions, and quite frankly I can't blame them. It doesn't matter how you view it, it's not a "Good Thing". You don't buy one as a gift, and you don't wish one on anyone. So if someone happens to not LIKE the idea of abortion, I don't think they are crazy or silly or simple.
New Doctrine
Debapatism is an important rite. It is a gift you can give to someone you love, or even someone you don't. You can give it to the living and the dead alike. It gives them a freedom they may never have known they needed (yet really may have had all along).
But what about someone who was never baptized? Or maybe you don't know if they were ever baptized? What if they may be baptized in the future? How can we help THOSE people?
Debaptized.com has finally solve that problem, and we used simple math to do it!
Ok, a little more than simple math, but simple math is involved. We have created the new doctrine of "Baptismal Debt".
Can you Debaptize someone who was never baptized?
Technically, no. Just like you can't open a box that doesn't have a lid, you can't remove a baptism that hasn't been performed. But, like all good religious doctrine, there is a loophole.
If a debaptism is performed on a person that has not been baptized, it will create a sort of "baptism debt". In mathematical terms, an unbaptized person would have a baptism state of 0. If that person was debaptized, they would become -1 baptized. It would require 2 baptism to then equal a baptism state of 1.
This is why we may perform debaptisms on people who have never been baptised.
Atheist Debaptized from Church of England
This article tells the story of a Croyden, UK man who won the right to be removed from the baptism roles of the Church of England. After initially being told it was matter of "historical record" and John Hunt's name couldn't be removed, the man presented the church a Certificate of Debaptism from the National Secular Society, a UK secularist group.
The church eventually changed it's stance and agreed to have his name removed from it's records.
The NSS Certificate is very similar to the Certificate available here at Debaptized.com.
Many people do not know that churches maintain baptism roles as a way to inflate membership counts. In addition to being debaptized, either by the NSS or here at Debaptized.com, you may wish to contact the church you were baptized in and ask to be removed from their roles.

What's bad about Anabaptism and "Believer's Baptism"?
While slightly less heinous then infant baptism, it still presupposes a god who cares more about your soul than your life and happiness. Whether a symbol of resurrection or a commitment to a creed it still requires obeisance to worldview that prizes correct thinking over positive behavior. Debaptism can provide a new symbolism and ritual to ease you away from this morally empty worldview.
What's so bad about a soul?
I soul is a thing that, despite being both invisible and undetectable, is considered more important than a living person's happiness, well being and very life. This morally bankrupt viewpoint leads to the devaluing of human life and the reliance on an imaginary afterlife to give meaning to people's lives.
What is Debaptism?
The Rite of Debaptism is a secret and powerful ceremony that removes and counters the rites of baptism. This ritual can only be performed by trained and ordained Debaptizors, and is an eternal and irrevocable Rite.
What is Original Sin?
Original Sin is an hereditary sin. It is a sin of which all are guilty by having had ancestors who committed a particular sin. Despite no have actually committed the transgression yourself, you are nonetheless still required to be punished for it.
Having to pay for crimes you do not commit is a human right violation.
