Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
: I used to be religious, many years ago, but I now identify as pagan -- meaning that I believe in the powers of Mother Earth, and that everything she’s created is sacred.Because the majority of people believe in God, there’s a general societal belief that everyone does. I’ve been around those who speak freely about their beliefs to the point where I feel like I’m being beaten over the head.
With the right accomplice -- and the right timing -- you could interject, “Yes, our community subscribes to many different faiths. But perhaps that’s a topic for another time.” And then launch into a new topic with a willing partner. I asked him if he was at his office, and someone offered him coffee, would he say “no, thank you” or “yes, please”? He responded that he would.
How can I explain to him that these words are not “redundant,” that they’re important for everyday use and that they’re important to me?: Tell him that the morning latte you make for him, that he enjoys so much, has become redundant.
