but all bets are off, except in this most recent case, if someone else brings it up. My family understands that and the topic of religion is usually not brought up.

I do have one sister who lives in Houston, TX and she is ultra-conservative, just converted catholic and works for the Harris County Sheriff's Department. I truly enjoy pushing her buttons. She is not a nice person and has been rather condescending to me since we were kids.
