...and was told, "But you can never tell anybody outside the family, because they'll think we're bad people, and we're NOT!"
Lovely.
I found it too difficult to come up with not-really-lies to keep telling people, so I started just telling the truth when asked in high school. Got into some trouble about that. School (public) called my mother with the horrific revelation, and she acted all shocked. I got punished for telling, too.
I've never minded singing religious songs. I like music and accept that the lyrics don't have to be what I'm actually thinking. I mean, "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" doesn't particularly reflect my personal reality either, but it's kinda catchy.
