Posted by znufrii Jul 16 '09, 10:08

probably only in the most ceremonial of terms, and for immediate family.

I am, for my cousin't youngest. I tried to talk him out of it too... - Cuzzin Todd Jul 16, 10:13
See my post below. I would gracefully decline. Even though I'm not a follower, it would feel really awkward to sit there and vow to teach the kid -- nm - about god and stuff Jul 16, 10:13
"I couldn't possibly think of a worse godfather for Imogene. You know me. I'll drop her at her christening. I'll forget her birthdays until her 18th, - Hotkiss Jul 16, 10:12
I am my niece's godfather, so yes -- nm - Stephen Jul 16, 10:11

- yep (and i am already). -- nm - TFox Jul 16, 10:10
With this new information....not if they expected me to do the churchy part of "godparent"ing. (nm) - musubi Jul 16, 10:10 3
- well, I'm not sure most people take the idea as seriously as their churches do. -- nm - znufrii Jul 16, 10:10
- i think what is expected is dependent on the child's parents. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 10:10 1
  - Exactly, so if the parent only asked me to be a caretaker of the child, then yes, I'd consider it. - musubi Jul 16, 10:12
i couldn't be. i'm officially no religion. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 10:09 3
- You can, just not for an observant Catholic. -- nm - mara Jul 16, 10:16
- you could be. different religions have different criteria. -- nm - TFox Jul 16, 10:12
- word. -- nm - safari for windows *loves* mandy lane Jul 16, 10:11
I am, but felt uncomfortable with it. I don't do anything god-y for her. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 16, 10:09 1
- Make her watch 'Saved'. Mission accomplished. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 10:10
I don't think I'd be asked, but if asked, I'd consider it. - Beryllium Jul 16, 10:09
I am, so yes. -- nm - loosilu Jul 16, 10:08 1
- Me too. -- nm - Loyola Jul 16, 10:10
