I, of course, thought it was cool that I could influence the Celestial beings in Heaven so easily.

Then my mom, to this day jokingly asks if I'm still listening to "that Satan music", in regards to Iron Maiden, etc. Used to be it really bothered her, but since I'm all grown up now and didn't turn out too bad (veteran Marine, cop now) I think she just accepts it.

Anyways, to the OP, I think it sucks that they'd give you an ultimatum but really... it's family... and they can (and should!) accept you for who you are and not who they'd like you to impersonate.
