"It's not a principle if it doesn't cost you anything"

Also just curious about your deeply held principles in general.

No political grandstanding please.

You’re just a dick. I’ve never seen a godfather/mother actually do anything beyond confirm they have a good relationship with the parent. Lmao. You saved them by showing who you are, a “reddit atheist.”

    Dude, the church my family followed was similar. I was asked to sign a document pledging I would do all sorts of things, like raise the kid in the religion if their parents died, also to live a "moral sex life" and resist the evils of gay culture and drugs. I didn't sign and saw it as an act of honesty and respect to explain I couldn't fulfill their request.

    If you think so little of other people's religious beliefs that you would lie to become a godparent, you do you.

    I think that too. You don't have to believe just respect and say words out of love. My goddoughter is an atheist now because of talking to me. Because I had the necessary relationship to tell her what I believe
