Then yeah

Can't have you turning into a hippie now

Or my grandma says that this virus is God taking his anger out on people for not going to church

It's kind of hilarious the things they say sometimes

Or other religious reasons

etc etc...

I imagine they still don't know your secret.

Sexual orientation

They probably think they can "pray the gay away."

ah, ya no. my uncle knows im not religious but i just ignored his attemots to argue then havent heard anythong past year about it

We were just talking and he asked the questions and I just answered it and I'm really thinking much about it and then I was like oh boy

I imagine the rest went to church weekly on Sundays and you didn't once you were a teen.

I imagine the rest went to church weekly on Sundays and you stopped once you were a teen.

Although my family probably wouldn't be surprised I never expressed interest in the opposite sex growing up even as i a teenager they found it odd I think

I actually stopped like a year ago now that I'm 22 kinda I figure I have enough reason just to not go if I don't want to and that's been working so far without an explanation

Indifference might be what they figured.

Not even on the holidays?

I went on one holiday but not the last one on Easter I'd rather help cook and stuff then go stand in a building all night wearing a black robe holding my arms and bowing every so often

For regular mass, some people have been attending online through Zoom or pre-recordings, even before the lockdown caused by the pandemic.

The singing is pretty beautiful though if you ever heard Orthodox Church choirs

Some of that stuff is straight up final boss fight music LOL

The choir songs are pleasant and uplifting for the most part, yeah.

And to have a bell that they ring along with it sometimes

And when they break out the organ

I don't know about other places but in Russian church with its just singing and the Bell

They tried to get me to learn the language at one point it's like a Russian that's not really used commonly I mean I put a lot of effort into trying to learn it's kind of cool just the one in another language but I was there like everyday after school I had no free time it sucked
