I'm an atheist but live in a family of baptists and catholics. I recently went to church with my family because there was a banquet going on (I only ever really go if there's free food lol) and was approached by the new preacher. Ended up accidentally revealing that I am more on the fence about these things than anyone else there, and he started trying to push his faith.

I'll likely go with my family again because I care about them, but I really don't want to go in unprepared for possible unskippable cutscene with a preacher who believes I'm being corrupted by the devil lmao.

Any ideas on what I could ask or arguments I could pose in this scenario that won't completely make me out to be an enemy to my family or others?

Same as the title.

I, personally, enjoy an IF if it has a good story and relationships that can be built and sustained throughout the story and lend themselves as part of the story's progression and quality.

I also really enjoy having romance options, and it's a strong driver in my decision to read an IF, but it doesn't matter if the story isn't good and other relationships aren't there.

Will people turn away from a story that has no romantic options and focuses more on story and other forms of relationships?

Edit:

Alternative question: how do people feel about stories where an RO (or a few) are romanced, and the story (edit: if it is a certain path) requires the separation of the MC from the RO at the end?

I have a cousin that's getting married, and I'm not very close with them.

My grandfather got an invitation, but did didn't receive on myself, so I'm not sure if I'm invited?

Even though I'm now am adult, I still struggle with connecting with family outside my grandparents and siblings, and I'm always scares of being judged by them. They're Christians that easily judge others for small things they can't control and I fell like this is the case for how they view me.

I'm afraid if I don't go that they'll judge me, but I'm also afraid that if I do go they'll judge me as well.

Should I just go with my grandfather? Or should I steer clear?

The planet gets covered in just a bunch of blood. Every creature on the planet is dead and the blood has been spread to every corner of the earth.

Would the sky get a reddish tinge to it? Would any of the blood be different near oceans?
