Send to a Friend

Have you ever been dismissed by someone because of your beliefs (or lack of)?

We were recently out to dinner with some friends (and friends of friends).

I was chatting across the table from a woman I’ve met a few times about possibly sending her daughter to a Catholic school.

My daughter went to one and had good experiences, so she had questions.

At one point she asked if I was a believer. I said, I’m an agnostic, but I really liked the curriculum.

She sat straight up, said, “Oh!? I don’t understand people who don’t believe.” — turned away from me and didn’t speak to me again the rest of the night.

It was so odd. I’ve never had that happen.
