(hugs) Just be glad they come to you vs some weak willed weak minded individual who will be further taken in by their dellusional religious beliefs. She was obviouslly a sheep based on how much she followed you and did what you did. (sigh)
Ah, but I'm sure she would have said that St. Francis of Assisi was actually Catholic, and therefore just as bad as a "godless pagan."
But yeah, that's a great quote. I know many Christians who live by that, and I adore and respect people like that. And then, we get ones like the lady in the cafeteria. I'm polite to everyone, and it seems that a lot of people (especially here in the Bible belt) think that anyone who is polite, friendly, and kind-hearted MUST be Christian. *sigh*
I love chubby, middle-aged women! But I wouldn't expect one of them to lecture me about healthy eating. (And trust me, she was twice your size. I used "chubby" to be nice to this particular one.)
It's the waif thing. You're petite, with a slim face, and large eyes, and that makes people with barely-concealed control issues feel as though you might just need a bit of looking-after.
It's like the reverse coin of the amazon thing, where people take a look and think that if they disagree with me, I'm going to chew their arm off and shove it up their cornhole.
I just had a brilliant idea. The next time I meet one of those 'bible preachers' I'm going to play along. Join in, and make a big scene. Because while they are quick to try and convert and defend their religion, they won't be nearly so quick to just preach it (and loudly) to those who appear to already be converted. I can totally see getting them to yell and should how they love jesus, and then turning on them and saying 'oh wait, I'm a pagan'.

And really... I'm not *that* petite*. I'm actually very solidly muscled.
