    Fantastic and innovative sin combo, I’m into it. Actually is there a sin involved in getting baptised falsely? Is that sinful? Whether it is or isn’t, my palette is in ecstasy at such a flavourful combination.

      In Catholicism it would be a sacrilege. Taking any of the sacraments with poor intention or not being fully committed is. Although Catholics are rarely baptized as adolescents so one doesn’t hear “sacrilege baptism” as much as sacrilege confession (leaving stuff out or whatever) or sacrilege Communion (taking Communion with a mortal sin on your soul.) I don’t know the protestant rules. Probably doesn’t matter since they have a direct and personal relationship with Jesus so they can just forgive themselves.

        It just feels a bit dishonest though, like… A bit sneaky? A little bit “disrespectful” or maybe blasphemous? To be clear, I’m not saying I think the op is a bad person it’s really not that deep I don’t believe in this stuff - but in the world of Christianity, it seems like it would be like… Naughty to go get baptised just for lustful reasons? 😂

      That’s sad. I hope you find someone you feel that way about some day. Unless you don’t want that which is also cool. Wars have been fought over love.

        I was hoping to hear they got married and moved to Canada to run a B&B.

        Or that the OP found out in a hilarious way that the other guy was not gay and super religious and how awkward it was.

        I’ll take either.
