This is what my cousin would say:

I feel pity for you and just want you to know the Lord.
I love you and want you to be saved.

So what is one supposed to with that?
1) Be horribly offended and say how dare you foist
your beliefs and pity upon me.
2) Say, Thanks for watching out for me.

i don't get offended, i don't say thanks either. now, if they belabored the point, brought it up every time we met, that would get old.
one thing i had to get used to when we moved down here was the constant invites to church. in maryland, no one much cared where you went. but down here, there are so many churches vying for parishioners, everyone is always seeking new members it seems. i usually thank them politely for inviting me, but never go.

edit~ besides, i was raised roman catholic, and was baptized and then went thru confirmation. as long as i get last rites, i'm in.

tell him/her you'd love to discuss it further but you're late to the sacrifice and need to pick up a goat.

they probably won't bring it up again.

That would lead to my being doused with cold holy water.

I wish there was a vomit emoticon available.
