“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

If I remember correctly, baptizing or christening is a choice made by the individual, and not by the individual's parents. If one wishes to be a Christian, they must choose to be one and have original sin washed away. Roman Catholics do not give that choice.
Source: Dated a pastor's daughter... I was the Roman Catholic Heathen for about 2 months. It mostly as joking... her older sister was serious... So she was the harlot for that span of time too (her kid was awesome though).
I was baptised as a baby to appease granny and get her off my parents back. I did communion only because dad told me it would net me lots of presents and cash.
That said, I may be baptised and all that nonsense but the only reason I have ever set foot in a Church again is because of funerals.
One of my friends was baptized as a child. The only notable part of this story is that his parents were both atheists. When he was older, he asked them why; they answered that it was 'just in case' he decided to become Catholic one day. Just thinking about that makes me laugh every time I think about it.
I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.

Oh I know, I was baptized as a Catholic, went to a Catholic grade school and high school (for 1yr), had first communion, first confession (reconciliation), had to go to church twice a week, and went through with Confirmation, even got the fancy second middle name to .

Wow. Just spent the better part of half an hour reading up on the various denominations and churches that practice "taking up serpents". That is some very crazy stuff, bordering on being genuinely creepy. I read one guy's account of visiting one of the churches and observing their ceremonies. . . spooky stuff. The service he described was a loose, unstructured marathon of praying, sermonizing, and hymn-singing, with a few congregants playing music all the while in the background. It went on for hours and the music got faster and faster and people started banging cymbals and shouting in tongues and rolling around on the ground and screaming at demons. Then they brought out crates full of rattlesnakes and copperheads, dumped them onto the bible and then proceeded to grab fistfuls of them and wave them around in the air, walk on them, and drape them all over themselves. And all because of one single bible verse interpreted as literally as humanly possible. Crazy.

Talk about literal RAW!
Yeah this is what can happen when you don't follow proper biblical exegetical principles. You get one verse taken out of context, and a whole group of confused individuals incorporate poisonous serpents into their services. To be honest I would classify this group as cult like. Not sure if it's a cult...but certainly is cultic.

I was in Catholic educational institutes until I was 18, now I'm working in one over the summer

Yeah, because that is the only verse taken out of ccontext.
Strange.... my campaigns I ran were very open ended, and I don't recall demanding total obedience, or any of my PC's doing anything evil.... if anything they were TOO good and not selfish as most people are.
This must be some crazy church person writing it, lol

I've just started a campaign with a few dakkaites.... I can assure you, most of them are pure evil.

Your players are very.. very mild in nature.
Agreed, as a DM, I have been forced to bring down the wrath of god in order to keep the PCs in line at times...
Oh I let them get wild, I play mostly for the hilarity of it. And my players convincing a barkeet that a goblin, who's missing a leg (guess how?) is a baby was hilarious, also, the mother was the male dwarf cleric. Yes, there were some high bluff rolls involved.
I do have to stop them from trying to kill each other at every turn though.

Playing Qin, us players were committing the usual acts of theft, robbery, vandalism, and not entirely accidental killings that almost every group of 'heroic' PCs get up to. So the GM got out the book talking about the levels of hell, and what sins you had to commit to be sent to each, thinking it'd set us back on the right path and we might actually start being heroic. But being players, one guy took a look at it and said 'hey, the only sin we haven't committed in the third circle is slavery!', at which point our new objective was to become slavetraders

This again. Chick follows me. I do a Halloween show in October. He doesn't like those either. Church groups protested Historicon a few years back too. Everything I do seems to offend someone.

You dare challenge my honour, my virtue, and my quest? You dare imply that the lives of my friends, my adopted family, were laid down in vain? Nay, this I cannot abide. I cast my gauntlet down before you, knave, accept my challenge or forever hold your vile tongue in my presence, lest I personally carve its taint from your mouth! You would fight for a lie, I fight because as of that day, I am dead, and I cannot be restored until the crimes of evil have been paid in blood. I do not fear death, I welcome its eventual embrace that I may once again be with my brothers in arms and of heart, but I shall not go willingly, not whilst evil lurks unchallenged in this world!
Choose wisely, knave, for this choice may well be the last you make.
