You just have to live differently from them.
"Now some of you standing here this morning find God's words easy, but others may find them harsh. What can I say? I can only appeal to what is truly Christian in you.
If you truly believe, hope, love something that's decidedly, markedly different from the Gentile Pagans, then you have no other choice.
You just have to live differently from them.
And you will just have to get used to the fact that your Faith, Hope and Charity set you apart from the unholy customs of those Gentile Pagans."
Augustine of Hippo, Sermons to the People, Sermon CXCVIII (New Years #2)
