Reply #30: Somehow I was appointed godmother to my dear nephew.

[July]

Despite my lack of belief.

Why? I think it was because my brother believes that I would do what he wants, despite my own beliefs.

And he's right. I would teach my nephew, if called upon to do so, what his parents wanted him to know. Wouldn't even mention my own views unless asked, and only when he was old enough to discuss it rationally.

I respect the choice my brother and his ex made, even if it is one I wouldn't make. I couldn't lie and say, "This is what I believe, too,"
but I wouldn't have any trouble trying to impart his parents' belief, or explaining what that meant to them.

It would be tough, because I don't share their beliefs, and, if asked, I would have to be honest about my own beliefs. However, I would do my best to convey what his parents wanted him to know.
