Singer Head Butts Brother at Baptism

British chanteuse Joss Stone was slated to stand as godmother at her nephew's baptism, but things didn't turn out as planned.

According to the U.K. Mirror, the 21-year-old diva showed up 30 minutes late to her half-brother Daniel Skillin's son, Louis' baptism. This apparently irked her family a bit since she was supposed to be Louis' godmother. However, when Stone then refused to properly read out the church order of service and called some older relatives, "old biddies," her brother went ape shit and took her down!

"She was absolutely furious and they had a full-blown argument," one church-going guest told the Mirror. "They were screaming at each other and the next thing, Joss headbutted him.

"Other family members ran over to break it up and she stormed off. It turned from a nice family affair into a brawl between Joss and her brother. No one could believe it."

Debaptism Ceremony

A small group of atheists gathered in Westerville, Ohio last weekend to have their baptisms undone, and to "come out" as atheists. Frank Zindler, of American Atheists officated. Walking under the "Blowdryer of Reason" each responded uniquely. One young girl yelled, "I can see!" One woman fell, revival style, into the arms of the woman behind her.

Members of the Worthington Christian Church protested outside. According to The Columbus Dispatch,

"They're making a decision that there's life without God, and we're concerned about it," protester Matt Lieser said.

I don't know that I'd ever undo my baptism. It meant something to me. Aside from anything about God it was a conscious decision to choose the life I'd been given. That's what being "born again" means to me, though I think the term "born again" is disrespectful to our mothers, who gave us our lives. Our first birth is perfectly adequate and doesn't need to be fixed by a guy, no matter how divine.
