Religious Nuts

The other day, after swimming and doing water aerobics at the YMCA, I was soaking in the hot tub and talking to an older lady named Jane. She's a nice person, but religious. I didn't tell her I was no longer religious and that I identify as pagan. So, she is under the impression that I'm still Lutheran as I'd mentioned I was raised Lutheran. So, she says this gem, "You can't be a good person without the Lord."

I didn't argue and just kind of let it go. Why? Because I AM a good person, for the most part, and don't like to be nasty to old ladies. So, though she doesn't know it, by my silence I proved her wrong. This actually is annoying the hell out of me because I don't know how to make her realize how wrong she is without being all "in her face" about it.

Well, I'll figure out a way eventually. Or, Karma will help me out at some point.
