I am so sorry this is happening to you. And I'm willing to bet every one of those people think they are good Christians. I used to take my four dogs for a walk around the block, and one of my cats would follow us. There was a man standing in his driveway, and the cat walked on the stones. The man yelled at me for not having the cat on a leash. I thought that I wished I had a life as wonderful as his, where a cat on his driveway was the worst problem he had. (I don't really think it was.) Some people are so miserable that they blame anything they can for their misery. It's so wrong for them to chase you from your home.
