I could
Simply because I don't believe in God. If I was unsure I'd be funny about it but because I am absolutely sure he doesn't exist I see no issue in lying to him.

it's not the fact that it's about god so much
as I wouldn't stand up in front of a load of people and lie about anything in that way.

Same.
I'd be happy to sign some legal document authorising me to be legal guardian in the event of some catastrophe, but I'm not going to stand up in a church swearing fealty to a religion I don't believe, disavow a different pretend figure in front of a deluded paedophile ALLEGEDLY simply because my friends like the ceremony.

I think we are missing the important point here
And that is "Massive Piss Up at the Cricket Club!"
( Peej, Fri 13 May 2011, 10:23, Reply)

The does the cricket club only allow Massive Pissups
to be held there if they're properly sanctioned by the clergy?

:P

No
But my wife only allows massive piss ups in the cricket club if I allow a pointless baptism.

And its a members club so booze is ridiculously cheap.

AND YOU'RE ALL INVITED!

our's is private
So we're only lying to each other. And is it really lying when we already know its a lie?

I see where you are coming from.
kind of makes it seem pointless. Does your mrs believe in god?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 13 May 2011, 10:24, Reply)

Nope
I think she just like ceremony.

I agree the whole exercise is utterly pointless. (Except the massive piss up in the cricket club)
( Peej, Fri 13 May 2011, 10:26, Reply)

Fair play to you for letting her have it.
Important point needing to be made.

Pfft! it's all a load of bollox anyway.
Even the priest will probably know your lying anyway.

I explained to Keza last night that even if we were evil devil worshipers
she would still baptise our daughter because its about saving the child's soul from original sin.
( Peej, Fri 13 May 2011, 10:25, Reply)

I know
and for that reason the whole thing seems pointless. I wouldn't even consider it.
