That’s fine for you ... to each his own ... I’m no expert on Bible quotes, and I do NOT get into religious discussions, but I guess for me, a quote of Jesus I recall does something like this: “Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” I think that priniciple sort of applies for me with regard to my blood family. I’m polite and cordial on the infrequent occasions we talk, and I will show up for funerals, but that’s it. I also pray almost daily for family members, which is far and away the very best thing of my own that I can share with them. It is more beneficial to them that I share that than my physical company. And of course, I would never tell them that I pray for them, and I never mention religion around them whatsoever. I respect their free will to live as they choose.
For myself, I have found it natural to choose my real friends from folks with an idealistic (which includes political) bent more akin to my own, and more importantly, who have religious inclinations similar to mine. I find it reinforcing for the type of lifestyle that my wife and I choose to lead.
Best Regards ...
