your version of church refusal is very eloquent, but i prefer to tell people, 'i'm a born-again pagan' when i am asked which church i go to. if i run into ultra-orthodox Jews who ask me 'are you Jewish?' as a first step to convert me to Orthodoxy (Jews can only prosletyze to ther Jews) i say, 'No.'
