Fr0d0, I must assume that I have portrayed a bad image of what happened. While it does not surprise me that the only people who seem to see flaws in my action are the local theists I attribute that to people going with their team.
If you really want the full story the only reason all of us were together is because the mother is convinced that because we are not church goers we MUST be bad people and she wanted a chance to judge us all at once before the trip. This was no planned attack from our side, and in fact the only reason we brought it up, as I said in my original post was that I felt that forcing her to go every week, and taking away her social life when she said she did not want too was building walla between them. I probably sounded like I was christian, because all I said was that I felt it was getting between them.
I even stated more times than any of us could count, I meant no offense, I simply believed that people should be able to hear others thoughts, consider them. As I said earlier I hope that my friends have the balls to tell me when they think I could do something better. Instead they chose to make me the bad guy when I was, opposite to Anto's belief of me, trying to help. If thinking that a parent would care enough about their kid to listen to one word from their friends means I was attacks their beliefs then I need a bigger gun.
So good job guys, say what you want about me but, I recall spending the conversation trying my damnedest not to offend and to offer my honest opinion to help a friend. And if you feel that makes me the bad guy then I am glad that I do not count you among friends.
@Rockthatpiano, pretty much. Theres even more to it than that but, I think I've said way too much as it as. It's hard to try to tell the story without giving out personal information that isn't mine to give.
