Yup the gay thing only got brought up the one time, I have always had a way of shutting them up when they judge me for stupid shit. My parents also thought I was in some heavy metal devil worshipping cult, pretty funny stuff. Sounds like my parents are a lot like yours. Oh well, their crazy beliefs make them happy, and sadly I think they're so entrenched in it that they would actually be worse off without them because of the guilt. I'm glad I found my way out when I did, even though it took about 3 years to actually get away from their church. For those 3 years I would get calls from the "elders" at least a couple times a week wanting to get together to discuss my faith. There was a couple times that I let them meet with me because I was broke and they'd take me out for lunch haha.
I think the final push that made me realize I was atheist was when the church sent a real nasty and hateful letter to a guy my age that was gay(although highly religious o.O ). At that time I was still on the fence on how I felt about homosexuality, but when I saw their letter I got extremely pissed off. How could a place that says that we are to love everyone and spread the word of god spew so much hate?
