What does being a Godparent involve?

I'm godmother to my niece and when she was christened I had to vow or something that I'll teach her about God, but I haven't so far.

Do you reckon I should take her to church or something? My godparents never took me to church :o( Infact no one knows for sure who my Godparents are.

Yeah the idea is you're supposed to guide them towards being a good christian although most people just swap "christian" for "person"

I have godparents (!), both of which are, actually, Christian. But they're decent enough just to give me money rather than a Bible, or a list of sins. They're both lovely people.

Don't have any, wouldn't really want any.
Why would anyone appreciate their dad's mate have any standing in their lives.

Seems a bit silly.

My brother's Godparents are great, they bought him a football table this Christmas and a MASSIVE Lego set the year before. I got stuck with a divorced bloke that used to be married to a florist but now spends his days drinking, etc. and doesn't know when Christmas is.

.. My Godmother just phoned up half hour ago. Not spoken to her for a few years.. :^) Weird.

I'm Godmother to a friend's little girl but was told not to talk to her about God. Lovely. Mainly because neither of the parents don't believe, and have no wish to, in God. I just enjoy being there for her and the parents whenever needed, maybe give her advice when she's older, teach her how to roll her first joint and recommend great music.. :^)
But wouldn't teach her about God because that's not my area.
T'is fun.
