My brother married the love of his life a couple years ago. Her parents disowned her for it due to religious reasons but reached out right before my eldest nephew was born.

Despite reaching out years ago, my brother and SIL only set up a date for them to meet my nephews recently. I was babysitting the boys that day and was waiting for my boyfriend to pick me up so I had the “pleasure” of meeting her parents/in laws.

Well idek how it came up, but another thing about my SIL is that she had many miscarriages before giving birth to my nephews. Her mom was talking about god and said that those miscarriages were my SIL’s punishment for giving her so much pain and for marrying my brother. She used my nephews as proof because according to her, my SIL was only able to give birth because her parents had finally forgiven her.

My brother was with one of the boys in the nursery so he wasn’t present but I was and I was pissed. My SIL bursted into tears and my nephews were about to cry too because their mom was upset.

I wasn’t even trying to be polite so I admit, I yelled at them to get out. They were all like “who even are you?” but I ignored them and told them if they didn’t leave, I would call the cops. They told me I had no right and I’m clearly not apart of this but I had managed to get them out the front door and shut the door on them mid sentence. My brother heard the commotion and immediately went to his wife so I went out to make sure they left but their car was still there and they started yelling at me about god so I went “fuck you and your god” and said it was all a bunch of bullshit.

They told me I went too far disrespecting their religion but ultimately left. I didn’t think much of it till my brother called me yesterday asking me what exactly I said to them because apparently they made a Facebook post about religious discrimination and being a minority and we (me mostly) are getting flamed.

I did not mean to discriminate them or anything, but since when was that ever a valid excuse. I’ve been reading the comments and I feel shitty now because I have friends who are apart of this religion and I just feel like a dick. Not for insulting them, but for saying that shit I said about god/their beliefs. Of course these people don’t know the whole story and I don’t regret standing up for my SIL but I feel incredibly guilty for making so many people feel hurt by my words. AITA?
