“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.”

      You’re just an idiot. You think a reasonable reaction on the sister’s part is to keep her children from meeting their uncle/aunt? Dumbass take, sister is unhinged, fuck you for judging a situation you know nothing about.

      If I was in that position, I’d have said the same thing. But my friend wouldn’t ask me to do that. And I am godfather to her kids.

      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.
