    ....Was that a pentacle?

    Sunday, December 2, 2007, 02:44 PM EST [Spiritual/Religious]

    I was driving my friend to bowling class the other day and we passed by a catholic hospital and was shocked slightly by catching sight of a pentacle made from a giant wreath and lights on the side of the building.  I couldn't help it, I laughed from surprise.   My friend asked what was so funny so I told her, and when she said she didn't quite get why it was so funny I told her why (the reason is because it is mostly used by pagans, witches, satanists use a version of it, etc.. and most christians hate it.)  and she asked me not to use the "s" word. 

    "What you mean Satanist?"
    "Yea."
    "Why?  You know the ones I've talked to don't actually worship Satan, they just make him a symbol-"

    "Can we not talk about religion please."

    I was kinda confused about that, now I like this girl she's sweet but she has this little habit of dragging her religion into everything.  We could be talking about tv and she'd make comments on how star of show "A" was going to hell for some such reason.  We weren't even talking about religion and it surprised me and another friend.  She also knows that I am not Christian and am a Witch, she has threatened to take me to church several times mostly because I loose track of what day it is and have accidentally texted her during service. 

    I don't want to confront her about it but it's getting on my nerves on how she will say stuff like that and when I voice my opinions about similar things she imediatly says "Let's not talk about religion please."   Does anyone have any ideas on how to handle this?

    This happens to me quite alot, I live in Louisiana. Baptists at their strongest. If shee likes to voice her opinion and doesn't let you do it. Then that is a double standard noone should just allow. I am very strong-willed; I would simply say, when she said somethin about 'they're going to hell', that there is no hell. Or something along those lines to bring your religion into it, and if she says she doesn't want to talk about religion then say "Then why did you bring it up?"

    Next time she says something about religion, or someone going to hell, say "I don't want to talk about religion, please" or something. Do it until she gets the point.

    If she doesn't quite click as to why her actions are a little hypocritical, you might have to bring it up. That sort of thing has always really annoyed me in my friendships, it has happened a couple of times. Once it just wasn't resolved and we grew apart. So sort it out at some point in case it becomes a source of massive irritation to you ;)
