My Ex-Best Friend

My ex-best friend, who I will call Lisa, was a Christian. She knew that my family and I are pagans, and she chose to ignore that fact....most of the time. There were still times when she told me to leave my "devil-worshiping rituals" and join the cleanness of Christ. I told her to mind her own business. Lisa was, most of the time, a very good friend, and most of the time she refused to talk about religion, due to the fact that my mother is always up for a good debate about the origins of Christianity. Which she will probably mention in a comment on this post. I love ya, Ma! But overall, Lisa was a good friend. Albeit none too bright. Last summer, I started going to youth group with a few of my friends to the church. Lisa was stressed the whole way there, but when I entered the church and didnt burst into flames, she relaxed. I didnt believe in what they said, I wasnt there to learn about Christ, I was just trying to see things in Lisa's eyes. She eventually relaxed when we went to a Church-sponsored trip to Chicago, and I was so happy. Then we moved the next month to where we live now. People here are very close minded (much like the librarians) and almost nobody really comments on the fact that we arent Christian, Catholic or Lutherans. But, between inviting us to their churches, I think that most people here have accepted that they have heathens in their midst.
