<font color="purple">Probably a badly-worded title but whatever.
Starting about a year or so ago, my parents (my mom and step-dad) found alot of faith in religion. Gradualy I guess they've been getting more intense about it, until now where it's like they are always praising god for everything, and only litsening to christian music, etc.
I don't want to be the one who rains on their parade, but after awhile it feels like they are being pushy with their religion. It's hard because I'm really close to these two and I feel like what such a great new part of their lives for them is really repelling me away.
Maybe I'm just an intolerant person, but praising god all of the time and other religious stuff is just not something that I want to hear. Just because you've embraced religion doesn't mean everyone around you should, or even wants to.
It's starting to get past the "agitated" phase and getting towards the "downright offended by the things they say" phase, but like I said before, this is just a great thing for them and I'm afraid that if I speak up against it that they'll become more miserable people again because they don't want to practice their beliefs around me, or that they'll be all nice around me and then behind my back they'll say stuff about me. Is it really selfish of me to feel offended and I shoud become less sensitive about the matter, or do i have the right to speak up if I'm offended regardless of wether or not it is considered selfish? </font>
