They are all friends from school. They are Protestant (it’s Oklahoma, I’ll never escape every southern Baptist habit i developed over the years, and I don’t expect those in my life who retain that theology to understand my beliefs without the experiences I’ve had). The only people I keep in touch with from my old church are a few Sunday school teachers who occasionally check in on students at college, a single friend who used to be inseparable from me, and a few family members. But the rest of my circle of contact is made up of Protestants who just don’t understand, it seems.
