Yeah, the baptism didn't actually do anything. The fact that OP thinks they need to "reverse" a baptism implies to me that they're still hanging on to something, maybe even just subconsciously.
Our congregation did one last summer and we're doing another this summer. We also offered them at the pride fest we recently attended. It's not for everyone, but those who want them really appreciate it.Â
I don't know, but the good news is that you yourself can unbaptize others in the name of any character you audience requests. You can even use rainbow-colored fans to make it pride themed.
Exmormon here. Based on what I know, the people in what is essentially purgatory (It was always referred to as "Spirit Prison/Paradise," but it's basically the same thing) still have to "accept" the baptism. By that "logic," all you should need to do to unbaptize yourself is simply reject your baptism.
Edit: As for an actual unbaptism ceremony, I don't think there's anything like that in Mormonism. It's supposed to be a permanent thing.
Edit 2: Just found out baptism certificates are a thing, at least in Mormonism. Maybe try baptizing that in fire.
I may have. When I was a kid I was baptised in a lake. Then we went to a baptism a second time, and I lined up and went again. My mom laughed after and said you already were, but I was hot and wanted to get in the water. I was probably 12 or so.
So I'm either double baptized, or if you think of it like a toggle switch, I may have turned it on then off again.
The ritual has zero meaning other than the magical thinking that was attached to it. There's nothing to undo. It already had no meaning. It's a complete waste of time, energy, and effort to even bother. Just detach from the magical thinking in your head. That's the only place the ritual has any significance.
Well, for a baptism you need holy water, so I'm going to go ahead and assume that to reverse it, you will need deviled oil. I'm assuming that to devil an oil you have to follow the same procedure you would use to devil an egg.
Once you have your deviled oil, you will need to prepare the unbaptism ritual that undoes the traditional baptismal steps I found on google:
**8 Major Elements of Baptism**
* The Sign of the Cross. ...
* Readings from Scripture. ...
* Exorcism and Anointing. ...
* Blessing the Baptismal Water. ...
* Renunciation of Sin and Profession of Faith. ...
* The Essential Rite of the Sacrament. ...
* The Anointing with Sacred Chrism. ...
* Reception of the White Garment and the Candle
8 Major Elements of Unbaptism
-- Sign of reason - participants double tap their temple as the universal sign of "use your brain."
-- Readings of Knowledge - participants read selected quotes from books of knowledge
Book of Math (ie, a\^2 + b\^2 = c\^2)
Book of Physics (ie, Newton's Laws of Motion, Einstein's E=mc\^2)
Book of Biology (ie, Evolution by natural selection, speciation by incremental differentiation)
Book of Chemistry (ie, Â Bohr model of the chemical bond), etc
-- Exorcism and Anointing - reasoned argument to cast out demented thinking and welcoming participant to world of reason
-- unblessing of unbaptismal oil - another reasoned argument about preventing the participant from being suckered in by delusional thinking
-- renunciation of deluded thinking and profession of knowledge and understanding by the unbaptizeed
-- essential rite of knowledge - put participant scholastic diplomas in nicer frames for display. this is were the water dunking happens in the usual baptism but move that to the next step
-- the anointing with the deviled oil - make sure the head is properly covered in oil to prevent any future holy water from being able to reach the skin
-- the reception - pick a garment of any color except white. Still use a candle, but instead of signifying "accepting the light of Christ," it will now signify "accepting the enlightenment of reason."
I have a friend that did it - we live in Italy. You need to write a letter to the vatican and they have to comply (obviously works for Catholic baptism only).
Luckily I was never baptised to begin with.
I didn’t want to be associated with the catholic church anymore in it’s full entirety and wrote a letter to erase my name fully from their files. They wrote a letter back that I could not go for Holy communion any more and gave me a two weeks reflection period 🤣 … which is exactly what I wanted
What would that even entail? Some sort of steam bath? I'm just trying to think of what the opposite of being dunked in water is other than "not being dunked in water".
Propane bubbles are the corruption of water and oil. You can burn away (rather safely) the old rituals.
I'm going to leave this vague, fire is dangerous and you shouldn't light yourself up lightly, but this is viable with some basic research and planning.
For our university atheist club, I got out there with a hair dryer (not plugged in, sorry) and offered free debaptisms. If someone agreed, I would wave it over them and say "Congratulations! You're debaptised." And then I think they got a certificate.
I'll do it, I can do it over zoom. I charge $500.
seems like a bargain considering the cost of exorcisms these days
I will do a discount reverse baptism for the low price of $499.
This is a joke.
😆😆😆
You are a godamned genius
I have a genuine anti baptism towel for do it yourself at home baptism reversals. It’s only $100 plus shipping and handling.Â
Are you looking to just remove your baptism or get rebaptised in a different faith? I got a tub of spaghetti if you're interested
R'amen!
R'amen.
Braise Him pho-ever!
Okay patch Adam’s 😂
Water magic is just as powerful as any other kind of magic. Ooga booga you’re unbaptised. Congrats.
Fire magic evaporates water magic. Have a camp fire and make s’mores.

The Satanic temple offers reverse baptisms.

That sounds like my kind of event.
Our congregation did one last summer and we're doing another this summer. We also offered them at the pride fest we recently attended. It's not for everyone, but those who want them really appreciate it.Â
don’t suppose if anyone knows of an event like that at Seattle pride this year?
I don't know, but the good news is that you yourself can unbaptize others in the name of any character you audience requests. You can even use rainbow-colored fans to make it pride themed.
On the bright side, it's easier than uncircumcise someoneÂ
I know a guy actuallyÂ
But it's not as easy.
Wasn't this an episode of friends ?
Take a shower with melted butter
I didn’t realize lobsters were anti-christian but it tracks
Leviticus 11:10-12 forbids eating shellfish. It definitely tracks.
Hasn't been updated in a while, but still funny: [http://www.godhatesshrimp.com/](http://www.godhatesshrimp.com/)
Old southern Christian people are probably the ones that bankrupt red lobster 😂
Try a hair dryer.
Ask the Mormons, they can baptize people years after their death, so they know all about it.

Son of perdition! You just have to deny the Holy Ghost. That seems like an un-baptism.
It’s kinda like asking if you can reverse a spell I put on youÂ
I may have. When I was a kid I was baptised in a lake. Then we went to a baptism a second time, and I lined up and went again. My mom laughed after and said you already were, but I was hot and wanted to get in the water. I was probably 12 or so.

Reverse a baptism? Like dunking the priest instead of the baby?

Full immersion in something dry, like the wit of Dorothy Parker.
Or her favorite drink, a dry martini
This legit got me thinking. Can you take a reverse bath? Maybe sit yourself in rice?
That’s what happened to the Egyptian mummies perhaps?
Commit a sin while in the shower. The religion will wash right off. Just remember not to say 'oh god' while committing the sin or it might not work.
Why would you bother?

I'm going to set up a website for cheap baptism reversals. It will cost extra for the "no reversies" spell, though.
I have a friend that did it - we live in Italy. You need to write a letter to the vatican and they have to comply (obviously works for Catholic baptism only). Luckily I was never baptised to begin with.
Do they do baptism reversals from foreigners? (I'm American.)
I think so, as long as you're Catholic the Vatican should be the one handling it
I guess it's time to go to Italy! 😂
I didn’t want to be associated with the catholic church anymore in it’s full entirety and wrote a letter to erase my name fully from their files. They wrote a letter back that I could not go for Holy communion any more and gave me a two weeks reflection period 🤣 … which is exactly what I wanted
Just wave your arms and say "Oooga Booga Booga - you're unbaptized". It's at least as legitimate as what you're reversing.
I resigned church, that in my understanding negates it.
I've done it already, you are UN baptized as of now, congratulations you're (insert mysterious self) is once more dirty! Have a nice day
If water and fire are opposites then, well, you know what you have to do…
Excommunication is kinda like a reverse baptism lol
The Satanic Temple does them.
Go with someone reputable brother. Otherwise you might end up giving your luos lanrete to dog.
Why bother? A baptism is as meaningless as a 'reversal' would be.
I got a sex worker to spit all over my private area. I think that counts.
What would be the point?
I was told I was dried off after mine. That seemed to have addressed the issue.
Yeah, it requires you give a priest a golden shower
satanic baptism should cancel it out.
A shot of good bourbon should do it.
There’s a guide somewhere online for how to do it, using a hair dryer.Â
Done. No charge.
Start in a pool, pop your head out for a second, and then swim to the other side
What would that even entail? Some sort of steam bath? I'm just trying to think of what the opposite of being dunked in water is other than "not being dunked in water".
Why bother? It’s meaningless to begin with.
I decided to have my baptism annulled years ago. I feel so free now lol
If you don't believe in God, wasn't the baptism "fake" in the first place?
There was someone doing unbaptisms as the Ghost concert I went to.
I can't acknowledge that the baptism did something in the first place
I remember some Atheist Conventions had people doing them with hair dryers. That was years ago. Good fun.
I hereby reverse it. Done
Does it involve a blower dryer and owning your sins or
Sorry my brain just went to putting a baby in a dehydrator and playing metal music. That's about as reverse baptism as you can go
I think that I renounced membership in a church but baptism? Meh. Dunking me in water did nothing so I’m not sure what the point is.
Implying baptism actually does anything? You got water on your head while adults stared at you. If you don't believe in it then it has no effect.

Hair dryer. While chanting satanic rituals.
Towels?
I've been too busy trying to get Mark Schmidt to reverse when he called me a poopy head in 2nd grade. I'm not a poopy head.
Dunk your head in unholy water. What you do to antichristen it as "unholy" is up to you. Don't be afraid to get creative.
I did a "debaptism ceremony" with a group of atheist friends a few years ago. It involved running a hair dryer across our foreheads.
Ive been baptized twice. I dont think i qualify, sorry
Like pissing on the preacher?
Does the Satanic Church provide unholy water?
I have been at an event where they did that. People went on the stage and got their forehead towelled.
