What to do?

[Angrboda]

So they expect me to go with them to church anyway.

That's a little too much to ask.

As for your brother.... they are not going to be able to protect him from reality forever. Your parents' motivations deserve a little scrutiny here. They seem very concerned with appearances.

I guess you're right. I'll talk to them about that subject.

Talking is good. Just keep talking it out with him and your parents. If you decide not to go because of your conscience, be sure to take time to explain to your brother why you have chosen to do what you are choosing to do. You might even suggest that as a compromise to your parents.

I have confidence that you'll work it out just fine.
