Frodo, I don't feel it's necessary to launch into specifics as that would be too personal, but I will admit I made some mistakes in my friendship with this particular person. However, those mistakes didn't bleed over into my other relationships with members of the group, nor did they warrant being isolated and given the cold shoulder by every member of the group. Although I see your point about not letting the actions of humans dictate my faith, it's very difficult for me to reconcile these individuals' actions with the religion of Christianity, God not included.
MeowMeow, thanks for your input. Although, these people weren't the "trendy Christian" type, just the "don't expect to hear from me anyplace but meetings" type.
Coolmogo, not in those words; I expressed skepticism to one or two people, but according to the youth pastor anyway, doubt is normal.
Pippy, I definitely agree with you that the effort to try to appease people is useless; I've done all I can for the last three months to try to change to meet these people's standards and nothing is ever good enough.
