Does the song match the beating of a heart?
I got baptised twice and I only really celebrate Christmas.

Is that normal to get baptised twice?
Lol! yes same. I've had some of the best experiences in the rain and mud at festivals haha.
Like I said, I'm glad I will have a warm shower and dry bed to come back to each night

Nope. But I got baptised twice. First time as an Anglican, second time as a Catholic.
I can't decide whether I'm soft or just getting old... I can't stand the thought of camping at a festival anymore.Oh yeah, that will make a huge difference!

I see. My mother actually wanted to christen me as she didn't really want me to be a Jew, but she didn't really know where to start with that. Was that your decision to convert to Catholicism?
Possibly a bit of both, but I am exactly the same, so no shame.

no, it was my parents decision to baptize me a catholic as i was still a baby. the two baptizings didn't happen all that far apart. i was baptized an Anglican in the hospital, and baptized Catholic in the church. i'm an atheist now.

Oh ok, well that makes sense I guess. I won't pretend to have a clue how these things work.

I can share what my baptism meant for me, but that won't answer your question totally as I probably have a slightly different understanding from Catholics or more traditional 'religions'.
For me, being baptised was an act of obedience as Jesus told us to be baptised. For me, baptism is (and was) a public declaration of the decision that I have made to follow Jesus and accept his sacrifice for my sins.
Personally, for me, it wouldn't have mattered which denomination I was baptised under, it's not being baptised into a religion, rather publicly declaring my relationship with Jesus.
At my church, we wouldn't encourage anyone to get baptised out of a sense of religious tradition or just because it's the right thing to do. As much as we can't judge the hearts of people, we would encourage them to understand what it means. It's declaring that you want to follow Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. (We also don't do infant baptisms)
Sorry if this sounded a little too preachy. I just couldn't leave that comment there. I understand the decision I made when I was baptised and I stand by that decision to this day.
So some people do

The world needs to behave better so that really cheap horror films with bad special effects can be scary again. The nightly news is scarier than 70s/80s horror films.
Gen Y won't believe it, but this was once scary.

Yes this x 2 @bleachy_dude - I like hearing from articulate people who know what they're talking about.
