Godmother
Arg. I am a Godmother...to my cousin Jessica and my nephew Luis. I'm not sure what I was thinking when I decided to agree to this title. Both were baptized...Luis non-denom., Jessica Catholic. So for Luis my job for all God related things is pretty much done with thankfully. Jessica is going for her First Communion in a few months and I have to be there, and not just there but doing stuff. Say what? I honestly don't feel right doing this...I mean I'm not even sure what exactly I will be doing but I know I probably am not the right person to be doing it. I do believe in God, I do, honestly. But all this church stuff?? :S It makes me angry. Very angry. How can I sit there and stand next to her and do whatever thinking fuck this building and its money hungry ways. *watches for lightning*
Anyone know how I can get out of this?

Umm, well I would tell them (her parents and maybe even people at the church) that you are feeling conflicted and that you don't feel you are the person for the job. I thought Catholics could only ask fellow Catholics to be God-parents?
I was 19 at the time she was born...I still considered myself Catholic at that time.
Oh, ok, so you were Catholic. I thought that had to be the case. Well, yeah... my advice would be for you to just be honest about. Not brutally honest, lol, but you know what I mean.
