[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK 15:35, why don't you explain what OP wants the celebrant to do. Because, you see, it's a little hard to recommend someone when you don't know what the heck that someone is going to have to do.

Like the other PP said, it's not negativity, it's confusion.[/quote]

You're just confused by your negativity. It's not that hard to figure out what a ceremony would look like. Someone posted a link above of a person that does "baby blessings" and such. You're so stuck on what this should be in your limited mind that you can't fathom that someone wants to celebrate in a non-religiously structured way that still acknowledges what a great, happy event the birth of a child is. And they want someone up there to state it, maybe read some secular readings, maybe some poetry. I think she's been very clear on the feeling she's going for and the intention of the day. You're just too closed minded and negative and offended to see it other than what you think it should be. [/quote]

See, you seem to expect "open-mindedness" and "tolerance" where none is really warranted.

I think some people legitimately take offense at others who want to appropriate various traditions that hold great solemnity in their own belief systems for some peculiar, random, and empty purpose. This is kind of like a vegetarian who eats fake meat -- what's the point? Why the poor imitation? [/quote]
