We will be in touch
It's my future God-daughter's baptism a week on sunday. What shall I get her?
I figure the standard silver braclet isn't much use to her and suggested a nice bottle of wine that she could drink when she's 18 but my mrs over-ruled me.
Any thoughts from the collective? what does a 4 month old need?
Dont mean to be rude but Freedom from religion?
A copy of "The Origin of Species"
It's going to be one of those threads......
A copy of the Koran?
Too late. You're both being rude.

why not get her a lifetime membership of the BNP, or membership of another minority group that she may not want to belong to when she is old enough to choose herself, at least she'll be able to cancel the BNP part ........
I think atheism is fine, but why do atheists insist on forcing their belief down other people's throats?
his / her Goddaughters getting baptised and that's a really nice event. I guess many of you may not have been to a baptism, but the way you feel the need to piss on someone else's bonfire, just to get your point across is mean spirited.
I went to a christening recently and we bought a silver plated picture frame with their name and date engraved on it, wasn't silly and expensive (under £20). I didn't particularly want to buy anything as I think it's silly but didn't want the parents to think I was tight (I'm not religious and not the Godparents mind!).
I really like the bottle of wine idea though, a lot more thought than the ususal tat, I would say don't bother with the gubbins of silver spoons and stuff. Does anyone use them or do you jsut throw them into a cupboard?

Well done. I am sure you are doing a little dance at the wonderfully insightful point you just made. Maybe go round and knock on a few doors to tell people about your views? Produce a nice little magazine as well?
As for the rest of you coming over all Richards Dawkins on the OP's ass......*wags finger*

oh the irony.
Yes, surfer, religious types sometimes proselytise. You don't like it, but have the self-awareness to realise that the tub-thumping atheists do likewise.
How about a charm bracelet ?
My godparents bought me a silver bracelet when I was christened (or whatever they do in Presbyterian churches), and added a charm every year on my birthday until I was 18. I still have it, most treasured possession.
What irony, surfer? Where have. theists spouted their beliefs, uninvited on here? Not irony I see, it's hypocrisy
This is hilarious! I hadn't expected this reaction but then perhaps I was being naiive, with hindsight STW is exactly the sort of place I might expect to find this kind of retort. Oh well.
Having pointed my wife to the thread, she's gone off on one as to why I bothered to ask you lot anyway, but then I've got thicker skin than her and haven't got time for the small minded, mail reading sheep amongst you, so have skipped your bullsh!t and skipped straight to the insightful suggestions I knew some of you would come up with!
So thanks for the pewter, the frame and the charm ideas, I'll look into it over the weekend.
Have a good weekend all, my wife's just suggested I put a post up hypothesising that all bike riders are w@nkers but I'm not sure where that leaves me, so good night.

To be fair, I hardly think the mail is a bastion of atheism.
