Debaptism 2.0: Fleeing the Flock Via the Net

To cease being a heathen you have to, er, well, cease being a heathen! We don't need no stinkin' letter! But then again, we don't generally swell our numbers by counting babies, either. At least not on any official membership rolls. Which, come to think of it, we don't have any of either.

Last weekend at Trothmoot I heard a couple of folks discussing how they could motivate heathens to take action on some issue or another - how do you move "organized" heathenry? My suggestion: learn to herd cats. That'd be a good start. And stop talking about "organized heathenry" - it's an oxymoron.

After reading this article, I'm convinced that's a good thing.

Disgruntled Italian Catholics are increasingly turning to the internet to leave the Church by getting "debaptized" -- but the Pope isn't making the process web friendly.
