Can Someone Refer Me To A Surgeon To Have The Moron Magnets Removed?

[badstar]

Lady on bus: "Pretty necklaces."

Me: Thank you."

Lady: "What are they?"

Me: "Tangerine quartz crystal, the vial holds rhyolite, pink tourmaline, orange garnets and amethyst."

Lady: "Interesting."

Me: "Thank you."

Lady: "Do you practice crystalmancy?

Me: "Divination using crystals? No, I don't do that."

Lady: "Oh, so you know what that means. Well, you MUST know somethign about it. It's evil. You're a Satanist, aren't you?"

Me: "Oh, well it seems you know what the word means, you MUST know something about it. Are YOU a Satanist?"

Lady: "No, *I* am a CHRISTIAN. You obviously are not.

Me: "Wow, that's interesting. What if I told you that I belong to a church?"

Lady: "Really? You're kidding me."

Me: "No I'm not and yes, I belong to a church. I go every Sunday. I usually spend most of the day there."

Lady: "Oh, well...that's interesting."

Me: "Yes, thank you. God bless you, have a nice day."
And I put on my headphones.

I never said it was a Christian church.

WTF was that about?

I SWEAR I wasn't wearing the pentacle, I wasn't even wearing the flame. Just the two necklaces she commented on. Crystals. Stones. Pretty, sparkly things.

It's annoying (or sometimes amusing, but not always) enough that I can be minding my own business walking down the street, sitting on a bench reading a magazine, whatever and people just pounce because of a particular symbol dangling from my neck.

I'll have to give this one some credit. It took a LITTLE more thought. Crystalmancy? Huh. Wonder how long she was looking for a reason to use that word...heheheh.

But really, come on.

eh, one thing i've learned is that there are idiots everywhere. even in church. but just because she's an idiot doesnt necessarily mean her whole church is bad. you might go, be welcomed with open arms, and have a rockin good time listening to guitars and drums!!!! funky, welcoming churches abound!! (i've been to some pretty awesome churches that had a few bad apples. people will be people, after all.)

tho your robertson theory sounds most plausible ;-)
