gims jabber, i agree too.

what i was doing was detailing the time and progresion of views and attitudes over the last 15 years or so.

accourding to faith i was born into if a newborn was to die they die with "original sin" which comes from adam and eves antices. If the child dies it soul bears the brunt of that sin. Christing/baptisum removes original sin, hence a pure unsinned baby.

13 years ago i christend A becouse of this belife.
L now is still unchristend and he's 5, hmmm imagine how that goes dowen in my familie.
If i christon on behalf of L it would be to remove the original sin from his soul, and he would also joine that church. Its the first rituale that is necasarie before other rituals can be performed. Once he is within the church he can not leave it or undo that christing, in effect...hence my reluctanse to make this desision on his behalf.

the most i have done is send him to school which will partlie shape his christio belifes BUT he dosn't belong to that church.

This is one reason why i be more inclined to make the move to christening IF it could be undone IF L disagreed with that church or its teaching, Hence the topic of this decusion

I was stating that i do not belive in original sin now, not agreeing with the newborn having been mared by original sin.
