[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this. I'm Christian and would kill to have some Christian friends - and simply to be around people who don't bash me for living my life in a certain manner.

The US isn't as religious as you think.[/quote]

Where do you live? Location seems to be a big factor.

And maybe perhaps the denomination. Regional differences there as well.

Good point. I live in the south, but [b]I'm Episcopalian[/b] - although too young and conservative for them. Too educated for the local Baptists, so I usually run into the college-educated atheists who can't understand why I'm faithful to my husband and [b]don't drink much[/b]. Believe it or not, it's seriously isolating.[/quote]

Hmmm. ;) [/quote]

[b]I'm former Methodist, [/b]and hung around with evangelicals in college. Plus I truly believe being drunk is a sin. All those things added together...I just don't drink a lot. I certainly don't party or do the bar scene.

And yeah - I get bullied about it. Called names. It's my greatest fear from college (you aren't cool if you aren't drunk) except I'm in my mid-thirties now...[/quote]

well that explains it ;)  Seriously, I was thinking a whiskey or two at an Episcopalian social function, not getting drunk at a bar (Im not Christian, but have found Episcopal social functions pleasantly "chill")[/quote]

I do like a glass of wine, but with a deployed husband, my DD options and therefore drinking outside of the house are limited.  :D

But oddly, it seems like a lot of people I run into (potential friends) are still into the bar scene.[/quote]
