If you’re going to walk away from someone, don’t make it about religion just to make yourself feel better. You’re trying to cover something that doesn’t even need covering. You could end up demonizing them just because you don’t want to be friends anymore. If you don’t like someone, you don’t have to be friends with them. You’re not the only one qualified enough to lead the annoying people in your life to Jesus (hāso͞os)? You’re not their only hope and the fact that you kinda think you are makes you highly unqualified. Go get a ‘secular’ hobby, you’ve lost your flavor. (And if you use the word ‘secular’ a lot, you’ve probably lost your flavor.)
If you’re going to take the hits from another, don’t make it about religion just to earn a martyr tourist t-shirt. You don’t have to take an abusive situation just because you have two cheeks. That’s not what that scripture means, nor is it what ‘carrying your own cross’ means. When someone rejects you, bring your right hand to your left ear and brush your fingers along your left shoulder in an outward direction. Keep your eyes steadily focused on theirs and after your second brushing motion, raise your eyebrow, just slightly, then turn on your heel and walk away. (This would be better with a leather jacket, if you have one, and a soft pack of smokes hidden somewhere in there so you can pop it out and light it up with a Zippo, it has to be a Zippo. You don’t have to smoke it. It just makes for a better silhouette when you’re walking away James Dean style.)
