Dilemma about becoming a godparent...

[lemons]

just pour a cup of water on your forehead and you'll be fine

I don't see why you'd object but hey thats your stance.

I'm sure if the Church would prefer you be baptized and you said no, they'd bend for it? worth a shot.

If I asked you, would you convert to Islam?

Well, that's how I feel about being baptized

Don't see the difference really considering all of our laws/customs and culture come from Christianity (even the morals atheists hold mainly come from the Bible whether they like to believe it or not) rather than Islamic so it's a non-comparison. But again, entirely your choice.

A little off-topic but I'm 100% certain that the basic morals of Islam are the same as those of Christianity since it is literally the same religion with the only difference being that they see Jesus as an extremely powerful prophet rather than the actual son of God

Similar in basic teachings being an abrahamic religion but the cultural stuff that follows is entirely different.

Me & my sister were asked to be godparents to my brothers son & I was thinking the same as your Kardan. I don't believe in god & I've never been baptized so when we were asked it was more to make sure if anything happened to my brother and his girlfriend that me and my sister were there to look after my nephew & to raise him up the way he wanted to & to guide him along early life. I think the older days it was more of a thing to be baptized and go to church... now I feel it's more of being a guide/guardian to my nephew and just make sure he stays on the straight and narrow path of life.

My mum is a godparent and as far as I'm aware she hasn't been baptized.

They didn't check any papers or anything anyway, so I doubt they'd know. Just lie your way out of it if they ask

I think the role of a godparent is just to make sure if anything happens to the parents like death etc, then they will be looked after by them but most of the time it's not a big deal.
