Reply #13: You just never know when someone is fundy irrational

I hired a neighbor of mine to walk my dog while I was working. I did not know her very well, but I knew she loved animals. We walked my dog together a few times. I sometimes walk him off leash because he is slow but is obedient to me.

Anyway, one day I realized that she was walking him without the leash and it made me really nervous. I asked her to please always keep him on the leash unless she had him in a fenced in yard, hers or mine. Well, she argued with me about it- said she prayed before they walked and she did not walk him in a "spirit of fear". I won the battle, but it always seemed like she considered me to be less of a Christian than she was.

Later I learned that she was judgmental towards homosexuals, because someone has to "stand up for God". She also voted for Bush because God told her to vote for him- he is a true Christian. She is clueless about politics and has no interest- that was all she needed to know.

Fortunately, she was pretty good with my dog, but I dreaded our conversations, where she always seemed "holier than thou".
