this was my method for years. then my dad got sick. now i try to be nicer to him. he left me a pamphlet last time called "the dangers of demon possession"
so i feel you scotty.
my best gay & i were doing gardening one afternoon when my mom came by. she made us lemonade. after a nice chat, she tells my friend "you are really such a nice person, its too bad you are going to burn in hell... more lemonade?"
don't let them push their yucky feelings off on you. you don't have to defend you choices against their judging. my mom honestly thought she was doing my friend a favor by "letting him know." she used to get really upset with my lifestyle.
one day i sat her down for the talk that i have to give to friends that want to beat me over the head with their bible:
"dear ____, i am a good person. you believe that god talks directly to you. i believe god talks to all of us & he said he & i were cool." mom said i was being blasphemous. i said "god does not need to ask for your permission when he talks to me"
and she never brought it up again.
the end.
