I got a text from a friend of mine saying that her daughter's new friend wasn't allowed to invite her daughter to her birthday party because she did not attend the same church they did. I was in tears. I was so upset that people that still are saying things like that. That people are still raising their children like that. It isn't how I grew up and it isn't how I raise my children.
My friend and I have been friends for decades. Things like this make her thing bad things about my church. She grew up with people telling her things like that. She grew up being an outsider. Now her daughter is facing the same issues 400 miles away from where my friend grew up.
Usually my religion isn't discussed at work. But lately due to some issues with foster parents it has started being a discussion. It is hard because I feel like I have to discuss things I am not comfortable discussion especially at work.
