Christening / Godparents
Does anybody know if there is a limit on the number of godparents and of which sex they should be for a baby boy who is being christened?
Also, can an older sibling be a godparent?
Cheers!

Never heard that an older sibling can't be - I'm not religious but my feeling towards god parents is that they are there to be close to that child and potentially to look after that child if (touch wood) anything should happen to it's parents. They're also there to spoil you rotten. I adore my god-daughter and it's a special bond.
Jooleebobs - you seem to have some difficulty understanding my very simple point - which was that a christening is pointless, given that Christianity is a sham (along with all other religions).
What I did not say, or even mean to imply, was that your question was a waste of time.
I'm also surprised that a follower of a faith that preaches forgiveness (though, bafflingly, not tolerance) should single me, a stranger to you, out for criticism on a web board. No, in fact, I'm not surprised, because, after all, isn't that a choice example of the hypocrisy of Christianity?
