So when the block throws a party, do good neighbours grimly abstain, or do they participate?
How are the two the same?
I can only speak from my past evangelical experience, and yes... we would grimly abstain, and solemnly inform those inviting us that we were taking our children to a Harvest Party at church instead.
We quickly learned that our neighbors didn’t want to hear our perspective on religion if they felt judged from the outset.
