Heathens in the bible belt
« on: July 24, 2016, 08:35:10 pm »
Hey guys. I just posted a quick intro in the introductions thread, but wanted to say Hi here since it looks like this is where I'll be spending most of my time.

My husband and I live in the bible belt... with his ultrachristian family surrounding us on both sides. They know we aren't christians, but they don't REALLY know what path we follow. Our kids are getting up older and they are wanting to take them to church so they can be "saved". For a while, when they were little, we didn't care that they went. They were in a nursery, and I got a few hours of sleep finally. Now that they are older, they are wanting to talk to their grandparents about our religion. I would love nothing more, except the fact that the area we live in, a pagan family was actually turned into CPS for their beliefs. So, we are trying to steer clear of that for obvious reasons.

So, this brings me to my question. How do YOU celebrate a Blot if you can't be outdoors for it. Holding one indoors just doesn't feel right to me. We've actually thought about renting a campsite at a state park near us, but you can't have alcohol there. Hopefully in the next few years we can get our credit on track and buy a house away from them with a little bit of land, but for now we are stuck :-(
