It just annoys me that i got a status done against my will, i just think its not ok. My personal religious beliefs wont change for the fact that i got baptized or not. I dislike the fact that they make people get familiarized with something when they don't have the lesser clue of whats happening.
If you look at every promise made during baptism, none of them bind you to anything. They are all directed at your parent promising to raise you in a certain way. And guess what...it's a parent's right to raise you however they see fit (within reason and the law ofc).
The only reason one would have to get mad a being baptized is if they really believed something happens during baptism.

The reason one would have to get mad is that something is being forced upon them. It should be every person's choice what they want done to them, unless you're ok with abortion. Obviously, you're ok with abortion, since you think its alright for the parents to do what they wish to their (future) child.

Parents force their kids to make their beds, force their kids to go to school, force their kids to eat their peas, etc. etc. etc. That's part of life.

So kids should just skip school whenever they want? eat as much candy as they want? stay out as late as they want? etc etc etc.
unless you're ok with abortion.
Logic gap much?

The child obviously has rights too (the right to life being one of them). What they don't have is the right to choose how they are raised.

Who are you to say what rights they have? Again, it always seems to come down to the fact that for some reason religious people think they know what is and isn't right. You have no idea, so don't act like you do.

As a Catholic, what would you say is purer:
- Uncut
or
- Circumcised?
Neither. What your !@#$ looks like has no direct affect on what you do with your *!@#.

Here are some questions for you: Why do you trust the bible? Haven't you ever thought that it could have just been written by humans? Why do you believe that it's God's word? How can you be sure? What do you think happens after we die? Again, how can you prove it?

From a Catholic point of view, is the Prince of Bel Air fresh?
If by fresh you mean impudent, then yes.
Why do you trust the bible?
Answered below.
Haven't you ever thought that it could have just been written by humans?
It was all written by humans. Said humans also happened to be Divinely inspired.
Why do you believe that it's God's word?
Because God says stuff through them.
How can you be sure?
Faith.
What do you think happens after we die?
Our deeds are laid before us and those send us to heaven or hell.
Again, how can you prove it?
Faith. And I ask you: how can you disprove it?

Just wondering, if there was a truley omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient being that created everything, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to banish people to eternal suffering because they're not acting like his/her/its cheerleaders.
Answered in part

In short, hell is a state of rejection of God.

But how can mere faith make you sure that you have not wasted your life worshiping a god that does not exist? And I can't disprove it, I WANT it to be real, I just see no proof.

If it's proof of God's existence you want,
here
you go.
From there you use deductive reasoning to rule out religions that can't be, then Faith comes in.

I don't know. Call me stupid, but I just wish I had some physical proof. I just want undeniable proof that there is something after death. I am not an atheist btw, I am just finding it a little harder to believe all the things I used to. And I have to say, I envy your conviction.

Aristotle's
De Anima
is a good place to start.
