Text exchange with Sis. Evidently the tip of the hissy fit iceberg according to Dad

Dad's been fretting about the forced churching to me and I told him to be honest with them about how he feels about it. That didn't go over well and sounds like they're blaming most of it on me. Oh for fuck's sake. Ok, fine. I'm the bad influence telling him how wrong church is (which I'm not doing). No, hasn't a thing to do with us not ever growing up going to church (got splashed Lutheran as a baby but who knows when we stopped bothering). Dad's been very clear about how he's an atheist for many years. He agreed to go to church with them some time ago when they asked to SEE THEM but nope, Sis had to tell me how he's "feeling the spirit" (and got pissed off when I chuckled at that).
Honestly, if he had some sudden 180 and decided to become religious, if that's what would give him happiness and peace, I am in NO WAY going to discourage him. Too bad you can't do the same but guess you gotta score your points for saving someone. What, do they give out toasters for every soul you score? Oh wait, probably crypto - JESUScoin or something.
Too bad you had no interest in saving Mom who was kind of a believer. You didn't like her so being good right wing "Christians", you didn't care there. Mmmhmm. I see you.
Poor guy agreed to go ahead and go with them to try to keep the peace and also so they don't abandon him again. Makes me sad but I'm not picking any fights with people who don't consider the feelings and beliefs of others.
