[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interfaith marriage here.  We attended pre marriage counseling where we learned a baptism is a covenant with God to raise your child in the church you had them baptized.  In Judiasm, a bris or baby naming is a covenant with God to raise your child Jewish. Cannot imagine making a promise to God knowing I wasn't going to keep it.[/quote]

c’mon, it’s a covenant with a fairy tale. We did it to appease our parents but it’s all bs. Sometimes it’s not worth the family drama. [/quote]

So you'd feel comfortable signing a contract with a non-existant company promising to do things you don't intend to do?

We got our children baptized, but that's because we're at-church-every-week Protestants in a denomination that does baby baptisms and we really believed what we were doing.

OP, I'm not sure what about baptism your husband thinks will bless the baby. At least in the denominations I've been apart of (Presbyterian, Anglican), the blessing promised to the child is being raised in the faith and very sincere prayers for them to come to that faith and continue in it.
