NSOR - Can I do this?

[hoolygo]

I think I mentioned a while back that I was asked to be bridesmaid by my cousins fiancé and I didn't really want to do it because I didn't like her. Anyway, I agreed to do it and now the wedding is one month away (she only started planning about 2 months ago.)

Her latest antic is that she posted on FB saying Obama is an atheist since he's okay with gay marriage. I happen to be Christian and am okay with gay marriage, so by deduction, I guess she thinks I'm an atheist too.

I usually ignore these things when she posts them, but this time I responded basically saying, "I get that you don't believe that gay marriage is consistent with Christian teachings, and that's fine, but don't judge me and call me an atheist because you're not qualified to make those judgements."

She basically responded that she was right, and stood by her comment.

I am highly offended and basically, I don't want to have anything to do with her. I am completely prepared for the backlash from my cosign and/or family, and I don't care. Her nonsense has just gone on too long as far as I'm concerned.

So, would it be completely flameworthy to back out at this point?

I think it would be wrong to back out at this point. I usually roll my eyes at other people's religious and political beliefs so it wouldn't really bother me at all. Why do you care what she thinks about the president? It just seems so irrelevant

[hoolygo]

Oh, I don't care what she thinks about the president. I care that she called me an atheist too, and said I was going to hell because I'd turned away from God. I consider myself a religious person, and I acknowledge that I'm not perfect, but someone basically telling be I'm going to burn in hell is bit much.

The president post was just the post that started the conversation.

[blackkitty]

She told you that you are going to burn in hell? Really? That's priceless. Just tell her, eh, you'll see her there!

Eh, personally, if I agree to do something, I do it. While I agree that she is being silly and insentitive, it isn't like she slept with your SO or slapped you or something, KWIM?

I say be the bigger person and do it. Then walk away from the biatch and don't talk with her again.

I agree with Blackkitty and was about to post the same thing. It seems kind of silly you would back out of being in a wedding over something she posted on FB. You already agreed so I think you should just suck it up and be in her wedding.
