So today I was at work right. I have a pretty good relationship with my manager - we're more like mates than employee/employer. Anyway so one of the things we tend to talk about a lot is religion. He's a non-denominational Christian (Christian bible but doesn't think of his family as Christian), and I'm a devout atheist. We long since gave up on trying to convince one another they're wrong (it used to be a favourite pass-time) and instead just debate religion in general.
While we were having a debate on religion on the shop floor a customer asked him for help and he moved away and I was approached by another customer, who, in the most condescending way she could, told me I was wrong to not believe in God and that I should not be debating such things because some people might get offended. She was lucky she was a customer or I would have torn her a proverbial new one. Firstly, she was being patronising, that is my number one pet hate since I am among the top 10 most intelligent people I know. Secondly, she tried to force her point of view without having even been involved in the conversation originally.
Now I'm not the most understanding person when it comes to these (here is where I get to the point) things but surely if me making counter-religion arguments is offence to those with faith, then her getting up in my grille and telling me that I'm wrong should be offensive to me, am I right? (That's rhetorical, doesn't matter what you say I'm right because that's how I see it.)
It's now six hours later and I'm still fuming.
