as a queer atheist girl, i’m very sorry that happened to you:( you don’t have to support lgbtq, only respect us. and i fully agree with u on the hazbin hotel part, it’s disrespectful towards religious people and just straight up a horribly written show 😭 about the “look” part though, i only use that look or change the subject because im afraid a christian will start going on a rant about how im going to hell. but nonetheless, i’m still very sorry you’re going through that, and if your faith makes you happy you should follow it <

Hey guys.
I think I'm about to lose most of my friends.
The other day I was talking to some friends who are in seventh and eight grade respectively (I'm in eleventh, but I'm a year younger than most eleventh graders because homeschool). Neither are Christian, and we were talking briefly about degeneracy in the public school system, and how Hazbin Hotel might have contributed to that. Both of them like the show. I tried to explain to them that it grossly misrepresents Christianity, God, heaven, and hell. I told them (truthfully) that shows and media that are so flippant and disrespectful of religion and things that are so important to me make me feel guilty for existing and having faith in a good God. They gave me one of those looks. If you're a Christian with atheist friends you probably know the look. The "You're probably brainwashed and misinformed, I pity you and think you're not very intelligent, I don't want to start a fight, so I'm just going to awkwardly change the subject and maybe not talk to you as much anymore" look.
So those friends are probably gone, or if not they won't be nearly as friendly with me as they were before.
Just a few hours ago I got banned from a group chat with kids who are either from my church or friends with people at my church because I told them I was uncomfortable with a rule change that allowed swearing. I am very uncomfortable with swearing, and I don't think that kids of these ages (the youngest is eleven) should be swearing or exposed to swearing at all. As the oldest person there I thought I might be able to use some of my influence to help them be respectful and considerate of other people's boundaries, but instead I got banned, and the eleven year old DMed me telling me to f myself and sending the rolling eyes emoji any time I tried to tell her to be respectful and polite. I blocked her.
The main guy on the group chat in favor of swearing that I was arguing with (he's twelve) is one of my best friends' younger brother, and another of my best friends' boyfriend. I don't want to make them pick sides, and they'd be well within their rights to cut me off in favor of the guy, since his sister is alright with swearing but at least respects me enough to not swear around me, and I don't know about his girlfriend.
My only other friends are at girl scouts, and most of them are atheists, and our friendship has been fairly strained for a while ever since I brought up that I can't support LGBTQ+. I don't know how much longer I can keep pretending that I agree with them on things that I just don't, and I don't know how much longer they can tolerate my morals.
Maybe this is what I get for making friends with kids who are younger than me. They don't have the emotional maturity to be respectful, apparently. My friends at girl scouts are my age, and the twelve year old's sister is my age, but other than that and his sister's friends she brings to youth group sometimes, I don't actually really have good friends my age.
I'm back to where I was at the end of my freshman year. No real friends besides my sister, too scared of my own shadow to make new ones.
Prayers would be appreciated.
