Puritanboard Brimstone
I'm very interested in getting the personal opinions of PB members on this subject...
Most of us have family members and/or close friends who have different religious beliefs than ours.
My question is: How deviant can their beliefs be before you won't show up at a "big event" in their religious life?
For example, if you're a baptist and you have a friend who is a presbyterian, and your presbyterian friend has a baby and then invites you to the baptism of that child, would you attend in order to show support to your friend?
What about if you have a family member who is Roman Catholic and they have a child who is to be baptized or perhaps receive first communion... and they invite you... would you attend as a show of familial love and support?
What if you have a family member who is Mormon and their boy is to be baptized... do you attend to show support?
Or what if you've got a Jewish friend and they invite you an important religious observance such as circumcision or something? Do you attend to show support to your family?
How much deviance will you tolerate before you will not show up to encourage and enhance the joy of your family member or friend?
