Sorry for your loss.
Nobody has said beat the fuck out of them with a bible. Not sure where I implied that in my post.

Just saying you don't need to be religious to be a godparent, it's their parents asking you to be the person to guide and care for their child when they're not around.
 
In infant baptism and denominations of Christianity, a godparent (also known as a sponsor, or gossiprede)[1] is someone who bears witness to a child's christening and later is willing to help in their catechesis, as well as their lifelong spiritual formation.[2] In the past, in some countries, the role carried some legal obligations as well as religious responsibilities.[3] In both religious and civil views, a godparent tends to be an individual chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child's upbringing and personal development, to offer mentorship or claim legal guardianship of the child if anything should happen to the parents.[4][5] A male godparent is a godfather, and a female godparent is a godmother. The child is a godchild (i.e. godsonfor boys and goddaughter for girls).

Pretty much as I said. Spiritual formation is just a fancy way of saying guidance.

No but you get the point. Humans live around a daily time period equivalent to 24 hour days anyway.

Yes, no one is claiming the Babylonions invented daytime and nightime.

They did invent splitting each into 12 segments though, which you now live your life around. That's why you start work at 9am and not sunrise. We change days at midnight and not dawn.

The only reason it's 12 and not 10 is 6000 years ago people used to count using the 12 segments of your fingers.

The point is, just because something is 2500 years old doesn't mean it's irrelevent or wrong.
