My friends make fun of me because I go to church. What should I do?

[Anonymous]

I live in Seattle and I am the only Christian in my class. Everyone else is atheist. I am constantly discriminated against. Especially after Trump won the election, they insult me ​​more. What should I do?

Well, let me tell ya 'bout a little tale,
'Bout a girl from down in ol' Dixie trail,
She's got a heart of gold, pure as can be,
But her friends jest laugh when they see her knees.

They say, "Why you go to church, girl, ain't no fun in that?"
But God's love's stronger than any joke they chat,
Hold your head high, don't you let 'em bring you down,
'Cause in His house, that's where the true beauty's found.

Now I know you're feelin' hurt, your spirit's weighin' low,
But remember Abraham and how his faith did grow,
The South may have lost the battle, but we still stand tall,
And we'll keep believin', even when they mock our call.

Donald Trump, he's our man, MAGA forevermore,
He's like a modern-day Davis, we're fightin' for,
Though they condemned our hero, we still wear the crown,
In Jesus' name, we run his place, we ain't no Yankee clowns.

So don't you listen to their jeers, hold on to your faith,
You're God's precious child, and that's what matters most, I say,
I'll be outside your trailer, singin' through the night,
While you're with him, prayin' for a way to make things right.

If your "friends" make fun of you because you go to church, I think they really aren't your friend.

Make yourself scarce from these people and cultivate people who are more comfortale with your choices and who don't have a need to ridicule you. They sound like a mean bunch.

Since you are not beautiful, there is nothing you can do.

Why don't you make friends with the other kids who go to your church? You may be the only Christian in your school class, but I really doubt that you're the only school-aged kid in your whole church.

You are free to be whoever you want to be and believe in whatever you want to believe in, as are they. Difference? You only have power over yourself. They can insult you. You only have control over your reaction to them. Don't let them affect you.

Keep going to church and lose the so called "friends", they're not really your friends if they don't accept your faith.

Try to ignore them. Picture them all burning in Hell for all eternity. You will have the last laugh.

[Dongie]

Be still and know there will come a time when they will be completely sorry they ever doubted Jesus as they proclaim Him Lord like everyone else will do.

[jahaims]

You don't have any friends from the sound of it. Most rational people realize you are in a cult to cope with reality. With that coping style comes ridicule.

[andreasderjuengere]

You have no obligations to please anyone.

Do what you think is right.

[Med_guy1978]

Call religious persecution and get them silenced at least. It's going to be hard being a Christian amongst non believers if they don't have any respect. Stay strong and find a similar group.

There is nothing wrong with that I'd make fun of them cause they dont... They can laugh now but they'll burn later 😉

[pinkCadillac2]

[seeyounexttuesday]
