I'm too tired to phrase out what I want to say.  Basically, it comes down to some people offending my mom for her beliefs, for no good reason other than to feel good about themselves.  My mom's never acted to convert a soul.  She's never told anyone they had to do anything.  I think she mentioned 'god' and for some reason, my uncle and a guest really got nasty and upset her.  They made fun of her beliefs, things she grew believing, and things she's come to love her entire life.  It sounded like they were out to offend her and enjoyed doing it.

I can understand living without belief.  I can understand having issues with what others believe but I can't understand making sport of another's beliefs or even lack there of.  I can't understand making a sweet woman, who had invited these dickwads over for a nice meal and spirits, feel so upset, alienated, and perhaps even a bit victimized in her own house or anywhere for that fact.

I find myself eager to be present the very next time such conditions are right for this to occur again.  While I'm not a devote catholic or even close to being one... I'd like a crack at making these two schmucks question ever making anyone from any walk of faith feel like she had that night.  It might not be a debate of faith or lack there of but a true lack of decency and respect for the beliefs of others.
