Thanks for the feedback – especially from Hopeless Case and Johnny O – looks like I have opened a can of worms here – the atheist v believers debate is of course not about wetlook, (all the stuff about church rules / principles / ethics, etc and whether my ‘opinion’ has to be ‘logical’ for me to have the right to have the opinion (???) stuff needs to go off this list and needs to be debated elsewhere –- feel free to e-mail me on that stuff - the option of unbaptism is the offer of a choice to secular wetlook enthusiasts, though I wouldn’t exclude religious folk from attending and it would be an outlet for those who wish to take it – pro-religious groups have baptisms, Hindus get to bathe in the Ganghes, us secular folk don’t get such a chance to get soaked and promote our beliefs in the process - true, I can have purely hedonistic swimming pool parties – so can any of us – and maybe that’ll happen one day – see the thread on munches near this one - Arthur Chappell http://arthurchappell.me.uk/unbaptism.htm

Wetlook opportunity for non-religious folk

You may have seen recent news items reviving an old argument in favour of having religious baptisms (especially Catholic ones) annulled, enabling previously Christened but now atheistic or agnostic individuals to severe links to the church – much of the campaign focusses on a wish to receive a letter of annulment from church leaders, or having a non-legally recognized certificate of annulment downloaded from a group like the National Secular Society. As wetlook enthusiasts, we have potential to be more dramatic, colourful and wet about it – What I would like to see and participate in is a very public high media profile reversal of the born again fuly clothed emersion baptisms we sometimes see on youtubes, etc – with an already soaked and dressed believer (or a whole bunch of us) being lifted from the water (a hired swimming pool would be best) and dried off by unbelievers, in effect, cleaned of religion and its trappings. Who would be up for such a stunt? Ideally it should look good enough to start a trend. My first move is naturally to fingd out who would want to join in, as unbaptisees, observers, swimmers, and as an audience.

See my web page here for the basis of this http://arthurchappell.me.uk/unbaptism.htm Cheers AC
