So saying congrats to them is like turning the cheek to someone like myself who does the right thing and is not religious. This is also why I don't "click" with religious folk. I find more hypocrites than anything. (not saying you are, thats a general consensus).
I'm sure your parents have a lot of reasons to be proud of you. This was not meant as a comment against you. My point was that we don't see too many young folks that express their conviction in their faith. I don't want to hijack this thread and convert it into a religious discussion. All I can say, many folks call themselves Christian because they were born into a Christian family. That's not my definition.
