Hopefully, that makes some sense!

Good point.
My parents are devout southern baptists. Yet they still accept me just fine. When I visit they go about their business. And when they visit here they don't expect to head off to church Sunday morning. My mother gets up early to read her bible and I guess my father does whatever he does.
My point is, you have to be yourself and live your own life. If someone doesn't accept you perhaps that is a relationship you don't need in that specific form. People change and can become more accepting of others if they want to have the repationship.
