Stick by your guns and your beliefs. NEVER freaking apologize for it. This country was founded on freedom of expression. If someone ridicules you beliefs IGNORE them. Your decisions are your own as long as you live by the laws and you own beliefs you have nothing to be sorry about.

From one southern boy to another, thank you! I stick very closely to my guns (figurative and literal), but I am very aggressive when it comes to discussion about religion. My commentary is more a self-flaggelation for even bringing it up, as I knew it would raise someone's hackles.

Believe me... I ignore a LOT of people. My mother taught to "sort out the bullsh!t," and apply what's useful. My beliefs are FIRMLY ingrained, and in many ways I believe that's why I've failed in relationships. Trying to change someone is not on my agenda, but it seems to be part 1 of every girlfriend I've ever had.
