Say, when did. . . .
saying 'I don't want to' become rude? I guess I missed the memo or something.
Once again I was asked by a very nice person why I don't go to church and I told the truth, I wasn't mean about it, I just said, "I don't want to." Later this gal I know came up to me and said that she thought that I was rude. When I asked how I was rude, she said I should have said something like I was to busy or worshipped somewhere else, because she felt what I said embarrassed the lady that asked me. I disagreed. I said that both of those explanations would be lies, that I didn't feel my answer to be rude or embarrassing in the least. It was and is the truth. She said her way was a social fib and better to use when in a group. I think we're gonna have to disagree on this one, because I just can not see where my answer was rude in the least.
