They all knew I was an athiest (at the time), and we had some very interesting conversations, but they never judged me or anything like that - we just talked about stuff. And I learned a lot.Right after I turned 13, I went to go to church (my friend's house) one day, and found the family packing up their minivans and a moving truck. They had been found out by some people in our very unfriendly community. And what I mean by that, as my friend explained to me that day, was that my friend's aunt that lived with them wasn't his aunt at all, but the pastor's other wife, and the mother of my friend's older brother. They left, and I lost friends and it obviously ended my church attendance. :\</blockquote>
