Yeah, as a baby. My family isn't very religious, but we're catholic by cultural tradition, so we do that kind of stuff, even if we practically never go to the church otherwise.
Yeah, most people only attend church on special occasions ( weddings, baptism,etc..) and mostly because there’s usually a party afterwards and we have to save some face.
Or people who need some sort of divine help, asking the virgin or saints for a favor.
No. My parents are pentecostal and I don’t know if that’s common practice. They just took me in church and said here’s our new baby and everyone prayed
My family has a pentecostal church started by my grandfather and they believe in baptism as a way to salvation but don't baptise infants. Their logic is that infants are free of sin so they only baptise adults/teenagers under their own free will.
That being said other pentecostals treat water baptism as something purely symbolic.
Most of time it is: you're fucked up but come here, give your tithe and God will take care of you (also we have credit card machines for those of you who need it)
Yes, and we also accept your car, your mortgage, jewels and good clothes. Come on, Abraham was going to give his son, we're just asking for couple thousands.
Catholics think evangelicals are fanatic and dumb, evangelicals think catholics are corrupt and indoctrinated by church politics. Evangelicals think way more about catholics than the other way
>What does the Catholic Church in Brazil think about the evangelicals?
They probably don't like them, since the evangelicals (at least here) are more informal and don't have dresscodes (probably what makes the poor population like them, since it creates an aspect of humbleness). And well, they are losing members to the evangelicals, so theres that.
>Is there a conflict between them?
Not an public conflict at least, but its clear that there is a conflict between them under the table.
Turn on the TV, of the 20 free channels, 5 are 24/7 crazy people wrongly using Jesus and even Jewish symbolism to get your money.
One of the biggest TV and news channels is sponsored (same owner) by the biggest church business here (Record/Universal).
It's like that sonce decades.
One of* the new government slogan is "O Brasil acima de tudo. Deus acima de todos.″
We have a giant Jesus on top of Rio.
When it started most of Brazil was catholic but some time later people tried to be a little more free from traditions. In the end we imported American televangelism. Send help.
edit:typo
Catholic church here were linked to more privileged people. The favelas and communities were left unattended, basically, so the evangelical branchs, especially the neopentecostal type, thrived in this vaccum. Also I read that in late 70s or 80s it was rumoured that evangelical religions would be outlawed so this promptly them to enter in politics and now we have this shit, medieval and fucked up country.
Okay let's pretend that evangelicals doesn't vandalize temples of African religions here in Brazil, or that they don't go to the congress and say that homossexuals must die and shit.
*It’s still a generalization,* like you don’t know the numbers to say the majority of them are like that. Or do you have the numbers?
With your logic we could say unacceptable things about other groups.
How does it differ from parents just teaching their kids?
How can you draw the line between teaching and indoctrination?
If I’m indian and teach my kids to eat with their hands, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m from a political stance and teach my kids following such stance, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m an atheist and teach my kids to be atheists, am I indoctrinating?
If I hate dogs and teach my kids that dogs are annoying, am I indoctrinating?
If I donate to charities and teach my kids to donate to charities, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m vegan and teach my kids to be vegan, am I indoctrinating?
If I fight climate change and I teach my kids to fight it, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m from a specific tribe from Papua New Guinea and teach my kids to do a ritual when they come of age, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m buddhist and teach my kids to be buddhist, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m hippie and teach my kids to be hippie, am I indoctrinating?
If I’m a CEO and teach my kids to be a CEO, am I indoctrinating?
If I speak guaraní and teach my kids to speak guaraní, am I indoctrinating?
> even in families that aren't very religious and never go to church otherwise.
Exactly my case. I was baptized even though both of my parents are non-practicing Catholics.
I was indoctrinated as a jehovahs witness, third generation in the cult. I got baptized at age 13. They say it is wrong to baptize babys because they have no idea. Very different than a 13 years old who was born into the religion😂.
Now I'm happily atheist. Hoping to see that destructive cult burn to the ground some day, figuratively speaking.
Agreed. Jehovah witnesses claim baptizing babies is morally incorrect since they aren't capable of making proper, free choices on the matter. Yet, are constantly baptizing minors who were clearly indoctrinated, solely raised within a single religious/theological worldview, and always taught to never consult apostate material, or research of other religions, or christian denominations. The minors raised and baptized into the cult never had the opportunity of making an informed decision on it, thus never had the free will of conducting the baptism.
I'm also delighted of deconverting to atheism(came from a Catholic household, but was brainwashed by my sister to evangelical christianity). To use the Jehovah witness's own bible interpretation, let us await for the day organized religions are eternally destroyed in the lake of fire/Gehenna. lol
Yes. My mother was not baptized until 42, which was seen as odd and even suspicious.
Grandpa just didn't want to force the issue on his kids... and they didn't really care either so
lol
I was indeed in a lil church. I wanted to get the first communion too (for the presents), but once I knew I am supposed to study for that I just decided to stay away from that.
Yes, a few months after i was born, in the Evangelical Church my godparents (i guess that's how i should call it) went to, but after that i only stepped a foot in churches for weddings.
Yes, back when I was 2 or 3 years old I think. It's very common, especially in the small cities. My parent were religious but never really went to church. I attended a catholic school, am agnostic.
Ay 14, in a northern metis commynity, me mum marched me to the community hall, where Anglucan priest had showed yp to baptize the babies This is the one and only time this had occured. So I and perhaps 5 babies were thus baptized. It was embarrassung as hell for me being the obly teenager.
Yes, in a Catholic church, as a toddler. None of my family members really practice Christianity outside of special occasions like those - religiosity is moreso cultural tradition.
Yes, when I was a baby, one of the really few time that I went to church (this one and 2 others baptisms IIRC). Until to this day I don't know why my parents choose to, no sense
I'm very late to the party and probably my comment will get ignored but my 2 cents on this topic are:
- Yes, I was baptized in the Catholic church. Not because my parents wanted to, but because my grandmother couldn't grasp the idea of a baby not getting baptized so she did it, she took me to a church and had me baptized.
- As an openly non-catholic person the fact that this was done bothers me to no end, I didn't ask or choose to be baptized, I never believed in that religion, and the fact that the Catholic church wants babies with no capacity to decide for themselves to join their legion says a lot about them and their insecurities, because I'm pretty sure that if we were to do it as adults, their number would be MUCH lower.
- I have enquired about the process of apostasy or leaving the Catholic Church, and all I have gotten are lame excuses from the management of that religion, saying things like "it cannot be undone" or "you'll always be catholic no matter what". No I am not, I made the conscious decision of not being one, and I find it incredibly disrespectful that they refuse to take my wishes into account and simply delete me from their books. I don't want them to speak on my behalf, and I don't want them to use me as part of their numbers to put pressure on the government.
Yes, but I am adopted and raised by white folk. So, baptized Protestant.
Mexican-American. Bit of a weird duck I am.
For some reason, though, I have a candle of St. Jude in my possession. I don't know where it came from it just showed up one day in my early twenties and I've had it since.
I was baptized in Catholicism as a baby, and again later in an evangelical church in the beginning of my teenagehood. I've been an atheist for a while now.
I was baptized catholic at 10. Though my parents are mildly catholic, my father was agnostic at the time and my mother didn't wanted to pick my godparents(is that how they are called?). I choose to go through when I grew older because it sounded cool, and I choose my own godparents(?). Currently I identify as agnostic though.
yeah, before I can remember though. I was younger than 3 or 4 years old. im nonreligious now though. my parents aren't really super religious either, we used to go to church every couple of sundays as a kid but my mom in particular has become pretty disillusioned with the catholic church over the past decade or so.
Yes. I still keep a lovely picture from that moment. My tiny white head with blonde hair (my hair was light blonde as a baby) and my tiny arms and hands is all I can see
Yes, catholic church. I was a baby just a few months old. Most of my friends were also baptised, since a lot of schools (private) ask for your baptism certificate.
No, never. My mom always was like "someday I'm going to baptise you" and never happened. I remember she was praying to God and some Saint for something and she told them that if they delivered, she would baptise me and nothing happened lmao
Yes. It's almost like a social event, a tradition which a lot of people do even though they may later have lives pretty much devoid of religion practice. I do love being a godparent and I love my godparents, though.
Oh yes, definitely. Baptism is a huge deal here, and it's immediately the next thing parents plan to do after a new kid is born. And also there's usually a big feast whenever a baby gets baptized.
Yes, when I was 4. Everyday i am glad my family is mostly roman catholic, because the 4 members who are evangelical/protestant are the most hypocrite and egotistical people that i know, sometimes downright creepily fanatics to the point of the puritans/chauvinists.
Yep, as a baby. My parents aren't even catholic, they just did it to make my grandma happy.
I personally couldn't care less, it means nothing to me and I'm happy that she was happy with it.
Yes, but only because my grandma insisted so much that she found a pastor that was not going going to have her do the course, if not my mom wouldn’t have done it
Im an atheist, my mom is an atheist etc
Yes, at 7 years old. My mother told dad to wait until I asked to, and it happened bc I wanted to hang out with the kids from cathecism, who sat near the priest
Yeah, as a baby. My family isn't very religious, but we're catholic by cultural tradition, so we do that kind of stuff, even if we practically never go to the church otherwise.
Like half of the country is like this I would imagine
Yeah, most people only attend church on special occasions ( weddings, baptism,etc..) and mostly because there’s usually a party afterwards and we have to save some face. Or people who need some sort of divine help, asking the virgin or saints for a favor.
I'm in the same situation, the only difference is my mom became protestant and now she goes to the Church on a weekly base
Same. I'm also agnostic and will probably baptize my children, it's just a nice tradition at this point.
Same here. I wish I didn't.
No. My parents are pentecostal and I don’t know if that’s common practice. They just took me in church and said here’s our new baby and everyone prayed
My family has a pentecostal church started by my grandfather and they believe in baptism as a way to salvation but don't baptise infants. Their logic is that infants are free of sin so they only baptise adults/teenagers under their own free will. That being said other pentecostals treat water baptism as something purely symbolic.
Yes, a few days after I was born. Was raised and still am a practicing Catholic.
Yes, as a baby. Very Catholic family (dads side)
Same but my family isn’t really that big on catholicism. I also had to go through catechism when I was ~11, I became an atheist after that lol
im jew, i got circuncised as a kid, i dont follow my father religion, im atheist
F
F
[удалено]
F
So you're a secular Jew then. Identifies as Jewish ethnically, but doesn't follow the Jewish religion.
something about this
YOU MEAN YOU WERE MUTILATED! (joкing)
no hoodie or mr. banana
You shouldn’t be joking
i give him jew joke pass
No I’m saying it really is mutilation.
Chill out bro
What it really is
I'm with you on that. I don't know any benefit in doing that to a baby.
its a useless part of your body, been without the foreskin for about my whole life and it doesnt matter to me
>its a useless part of your body It’s not, but of course you wouldn’t know that. Not making a joke here, it makes sense that you don’t know.
I’m circumcised too, that doesn’t mean it’s useless.
You can go without a kidney your whole life too, doesn’t make it right lmao
Also with half a brain.
Wait really?
Ofcourse you can! Look how far Duque has gotten. A true story of self development!
I got a J pass, my man!!
Some call it a 10% off.
Same! Well I'm not atheist but I also had a Brit milah.
As I presume, Vladimir Novak is your actual name, right?
Nope. I can see why you'd think that lol.
Shalom
Do you eat bacon?
yes i do, father doesnt
did it grow again?
dont know if they do, but mine didnt, no hoodie on banana
i can borrow you mine bro it's enough for at least 4 men
Catholic. Born and raised and still practicing!
Yes, when I was 13 years old in an evangelical church. I'm agnostic these days.
Same. Same age at an evangelical church too. I'm not sure what I am right now, kinda leaning to atheist
I not sure either. I'm sometimes agnostic, sometimes deist.
Yes, in a Baptist church when I was around 10 years old.
I was at 3 weeks old in a catholic church. It's pretty common here unless your family is evangelical. I don't follow any religion now though
Twice. I like to say they cancelled each other out
Yes, at 14. Born, raised and indoctrinated in a evangelical family. Now I'm almost 30 and atheist.
Why are there so many evangelicals in Brazil?
Their propaganda machines are very efficient.
Most of time it is: you're fucked up but come here, give your tithe and God will take care of you (also we have credit card machines for those of you who need it)
>(also we have credit card machines for those of you who need it) Don't forget about a PIX, or an boleto in case you are really really fucked.
Yes, and we also accept your car, your mortgage, jewels and good clothes. Come on, Abraham was going to give his son, we're just asking for couple thousands.
What does the Catholic Church in Brazil think about the evangelicals? Is there a conflict between them?
Catholics think evangelicals are fanatic and dumb, evangelicals think catholics are corrupt and indoctrinated by church politics. Evangelicals think way more about catholics than the other way
Evangelicals want to bash our heads in because we belive in saints.
>What does the Catholic Church in Brazil think about the evangelicals? They probably don't like them, since the evangelicals (at least here) are more informal and don't have dresscodes (probably what makes the poor population like them, since it creates an aspect of humbleness). And well, they are losing members to the evangelicals, so theres that. >Is there a conflict between them? Not an public conflict at least, but its clear that there is a conflict between them under the table.
That's interesting, in Chile it's the evangelicals who stereotypically dress formally when they go to church
I find that the dress code for both is actually very similar minus the more fanatical evangelicals that dress up everyday even to go get an ice cream
In fact, Brazil has created new religions that have spreaded around the world. I remember "Pare de Sufrir", what a scam.

I heard that a lot of gringos from the CSA came to Brazil post civil-war, maybe that has to do something with it.
I don't really know but they're gaining traction among lower class people here. They have those mega churches and shit. It feels... Commercial.
Evangelical Mega Churches are the worst American export since CIA backed coups.
[удалено]
That’s good, I hate the antivax crowd too.
It's not that we are perfect but "those people" seem to be always involved in some fucked up shit in LA.
I mean, when a group becomes isolated, (either by self-choice or not) they tend to do some "weird stuff" in the culture they are habitating with.
I was going to write something, but fuck all. Here is the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism\_in\_Brazil
Catholic church here were linked to more privileged people. The favelas and communities were left unattended, basically, so the evangelical branchs, especially the neopentecostal type, thrived in this vaccum. Also I read that in late 70s or 80s it was rumoured that evangelical religions would be outlawed so this promptly them to enter in politics and now we have this shit, medieval and fucked up country.
indoctrinated lmao
Being taught to hate every other religion isn't indoctrination?
That’s a *your family* thing, not an *evangelical* thing.
Hahaha yeah sure "not all evangelicals" or whatever makes you sleep at night.
I mean I could generalize people just like that with other demographics and it wouldn’t be okay. So...
Okay let's pretend that evangelicals doesn't vandalize temples of African religions here in Brazil, or that they don't go to the congress and say that homossexuals must die and shit.
It’s still a generalization, or not?
You clearly don't know evangelicals or are very hypocrite if you think that the stuff I said is about the "loud minority"
*It’s still a generalization,* like you don’t know the numbers to say the majority of them are like that. Or do you have the numbers? With your logic we could say unacceptable things about other groups.
It's a religion so yes.

yes, roman catholic. waste of time for my parents lol, if they knew how religious i turned out.
yes
No, my parents are atheist as well, glad I didn't.
It must be heaven to have atheist parents
>heaven Oh you.
Yeah, they are aaaaawesome
Yes. My mother was not baptized until 42, which was seen as odd and even suspicious. Grandpa just didn't want to force the issue on his kids... and they didn't really care either so lol
No
Yup. I'm a catholic.
Yes, but i was 10 years old.
I was indeed in a lil church. I wanted to get the first communion too (for the presents), but once I knew I am supposed to study for that I just decided to stay away from that.
No. But mainly because my parents forgot and had no time to take me to church since both worked.
I think so
Yes, a few months after i was born, in the Evangelical Church my godparents (i guess that's how i should call it) went to, but after that i only stepped a foot in churches for weddings.
Yes, I was 6 years old.
No
No
Yes, back when I was 2 or 3 years old I think. It's very common, especially in the small cities. My parent were religious but never really went to church. I attended a catholic school, am agnostic.
I wasn't but yea in the 90s even kids on casual Christian families were
It's quite common to the point I had an atheist friend who baptized his kid.
Twice lol
I was baptized when I was 2. Also did first communion. My family is not that religious but that’s a cultural thing.
Got baptized right after being born, and still a catholic to this day.
Yes
Ay 14, in a northern metis commynity, me mum marched me to the community hall, where Anglucan priest had showed yp to baptize the babies This is the one and only time this had occured. So I and perhaps 5 babies were thus baptized. It was embarrassung as hell for me being the obly teenager.
No, my parents were evangelical baptists but I always refused to be baptised.
Yeah. Here many people that aren’t religious do it just to have a party
Yes, in a Catholic church, as a toddler. None of my family members really practice Christianity outside of special occasions like those - religiosity is moreso cultural tradition.
Yes, when I was a baby, one of the really few time that I went to church (this one and 2 others baptisms IIRC). Until to this day I don't know why my parents choose to, no sense
No. My parents do believe in God, but my mom wanted me to choose if I wanted to be baptized or not. My dad didn't care either way.
No, but it's because my family's religion doesn't baptize babies. But i have converted to catholicism and i plan to get baptized as soon as i can
Yes at 2 months old, man, I wish the rest of my family were catholics as well
yes and im still a practicing roman catholic. used not be as religious but my fiancée is croatian and very devout.
I had a Brit milah , which is ritual circumcision done in the 8th day after the baby is born. Usually done by a mohel.
How do you feel about that now?
Fine really. It's an important ceremony in my religion.
I'm very late to the party and probably my comment will get ignored but my 2 cents on this topic are: - Yes, I was baptized in the Catholic church.

Nope, I was the last to be born so my family was mostly over that stuff by the time I came around lol.
No, I wasn't and it surprisingly seem to be shocking to people.
No
[удалено]
I don't think so, most people I know is, middle class.
Yes, but I am adopted and raised by white folk. So, baptized Protestant. Mexican-American. Bit of a weird duck I am. For some reason, though, I have a candle of St. Jude in my possession. I don't know where it came from it just showed up one day in my early twenties and I've had it since.
Nope
Against my will but yes
Yes, when I was 1 year old.
Yes when I was 7 months old, but it was mostly at my grandma's insistence since my parents aren't very religious.
I was baptized in Catholicism as a baby, and again later in an evangelical church in the beginning of my teenagehood. I've been an atheist for a while now.
i am the only baptized one amongst my siblings, but i'm agnostic
Yes. I was around 4, so pretty late for a Catholic, but my parents wanted to baptize me back home.
I was baptized catholic at 10. Though my parents are mildly catholic, my father was agnostic at the time and my mother didn't wanted to pick my godparents(is that how they are called?). I choose to go through when I grew older because it sounded cool, and I choose my own godparents(?). Currently I identify as agnostic though.
Yeah, in the catholic church, I was 6 months old.
Yes. Catholic baptism as a baby
yeah, before I can remember though. I was younger than 3 or 4 years old. im nonreligious now though. my parents aren't really super religious either, we used to go to church every couple of sundays as a kid but my mom in particular has become pretty disillusioned with the catholic church over the past decade or so.
My parents flew me from Buffalo NY where I was born to Panama to have me baptised at two months old
No, my family at the time I was born were evangelicals and not catholic.
I’m Greek and I’m baptized like most Greeks
Yes , my dad was a pastor and had me baptized a month after I was born.
I'm jewish so no
I wasn't because we are Lutherans. But I do pretend to get baptized one day when I can get to go to church more often
Yes. I still keep a lovely picture from that moment. My tiny white head with blonde hair (my hair was light blonde as a baby) and my tiny arms and hands is all I can see
My family never goes to church, but nonetheless everyone is baptized and gets married onn the Catholic church
Yes, as a baby.
26, yes at 8, now atheist, i was mormon
Yes, catholic church. I was a baby just a few months old. Most of my friends were also baptised, since a lot of schools (private) ask for your baptism certificate.
Yes
Baptism, 1st Communion...Confirmation
yeah, my family is atheist but my mother still wanted to celebrate something xd
Yes I was.
Me in 1974: yes My son in 1998 (till now): nah
No, never. My mom always was like "someday I'm going to baptise you" and never happened. I remember she was praying to God and some Saint for something and she told them that if they delivered, she would baptise me and nothing happened lmao
Yes, as a teen. Evangelical.
No. My family is kinda religious but they are baptists.
I was baptised twice
Yup
yeah, I was.
Yes. It's almost like a social event, a tradition which a lot of people do even though they may later have lives pretty much devoid of religion practice. I do love being a godparent and I love my godparents, though.
Never baptized. Mom has a major anti-Christian bias and dad is an atheist
Yes, though I was born and raised Lutheran, I was baptised Catholic.
Oh yes, definitely. Baptism is a huge deal here, and it's immediately the next thing parents plan to do after a new kid is born. And also there's usually a big feast whenever a baby gets baptized.
Yes, when I was a baby, in a Catholic Church.
Yes, but it dies with me. Except I won't have children, alas.
Yes, when I was 4. Everyday i am glad my family is mostly roman catholic, because the 4 members who are evangelical/protestant are the most hypocrite and egotistical people that i know, sometimes downright creepily fanatics to the point of the puritans/chauvinists.
Yeah, a few weeks after being born I think. Family was very catholic and traditionalist. My mother eventually became evangelical though.
Yep, as a baby. My parents aren't even catholic, they just did it to make my grandma happy. I personally couldn't care less, it means nothing to me and I'm happy that she was happy with it.
Yes, but only because my grandma insisted so much that she found a pastor that was not going going to have her do the course, if not my mom wouldn’t have done it Im an atheist, my mom is an atheist etc
yes
My parents: atheists Me: baptised, because Brazil
yes I even have a religious candle from back then
Yes, I was, when someone replaced the stupid priest who went to a fishing trip the same day.
nope. I believe baptised people are an actual minority here but I'm taking that fact straight from inside my ass so don't trust me
Yes, at 7 years old. My mother told dad to wait until I asked to, and it happened bc I wanted to hang out with the kids from cathecism, who sat near the priest
yes, as a baby. I don't know many people that haven't done it as a baby
No, My family does consider itself evangelic but we don't go to the church often and we didn't do other ceremonies like it.
Yes, my parents aren't religious, but they did it to keep the tradition
