For the last year of my mother's life I became her 24 hour a day care taker. I have a housemate for my place and left it pretty much up to her to take care of that and I moved back to my mother's house. I used to take her to church on Sundays and they knew that I was not a member and was well received there. It was because I still respected their beliefs that I would not take communion with them. I seriously think that they would not have been offended, but to me it would have been hypocritical.I was baptized, received first communion, and was confirmed.
I am no longer a member.
From your avatar it appears that you did so later. To be honest being baptized as a baby really does not make a lot of sense. It should be a conscious choice when one has the ability to make such a choice.No.
My parents disagreed on it so the vicar couldn't do it.
It’s done so if the child dies prior to that age of reason, the child goes to Heaven and not Hell or Purgatory…at least in Catholicism.From your avatar it appears that you did so later.

I think that is the same reason in the Lutheran Church that I grew up in. Does it make any sense? Not to me now. But that is just one of the many parts of the religion not making sense that caused me to leave. But I could see how that might be some small comfort to parents in the times of high child mortality rates.It’s done so if the child dies prior to that age of reason, the child goes to Heaven and not Hell or Purgatory…at least in Catholicism.
Yes. That is one of the three times tops a Swede look at the inside of a church.Was you baptised as a child?
I am still a member.Did you left the church or are you still a member?
I was baptised as a child in a evangelical-lutheran church. I have left that church and christianity. Now i am a new ager
