Well I used to be a Presbyterian Christian and got baptized but I stopped believing in God or just refuse to worship his unfair ways, is there a way to get unbaptized? My Parents keep bothering me about how i'm "baptized and will stay that way"
 
<<but I stopped believing in God or just refuse to worship his unfair ways>>
Perhaps you have some misunderstandings about the Christian faith over all.

But anyways....

<<is there a way to get unbaptized?>>

Sadly for you.. NO

Some things simply can't be undone. That's reality, I'm afraid.
You can't for instance take back a mean word, once it is released into the world.
You can't undead or unkill an animal.

So too it is believed that one can not be 'unbaptized' spiritually because baptism forgives original sin and makes you a child of God.
That is the theology behind it.

If you don't believe in God, then you shouldn't have any worry, since he doesn't exist.


This hasn't stopped small groups of Atheists from inventing their own "unbaptism" ceremonies. You can invent any ritual you want to make yourself feel unbaptized.

Most people who want to do this, I think, have some latent anger towards their family and so they wish to do something outward and shocking to separate themselves from their family or previous life. A way to PROVE their atheism and solidify their own beliefs, as if they are unsure of them in some way.
That's my personal opinion of course.

In the Catholic faith.. Baptism leaves an indelible mark on the soul.. something that marks you as a child of God and can not be undone because God does not disown his children.

Non-Catholic Christians have varying ideas about Baptism.. but nearly all believe it can not be undone.
 
Well if you don't believe in God, then does baptism even mean anything to you?? If it still does, you should keep worshipping God because in time you will learn that the Lord is fair and kind.
 
Nope, they've doomed you :( ~Just kidding :)

Perhaps you can just ignore it, since it really means nothing...
 
I don't think you have to worry over being "unbaptized". The key here is whether or not you believe in Jesus. If you truly reject Him you're on your way to hell. Your original unbelieving baptism is just a sorry after thought.
