There were some guy right where I get picked up from school who was giving out bibles. He tried to give me one, and really just wanted to tell him that I was agnostic and leave it at that, except my religious mom who's shown disapproval to atheists/agnostics in the past was about five feet away in the car with the windows down. So, with a bass in one hand and a viola in the other, I just told him "no thanks, my hands are a bit full" and gave a shaky laugh, so he said "you can unzip your backpack". At that point I pretty much just ran as fast as I could to the trunk to put my instruments away. Then my mom asked me why I didn't pick up a bible, too which I really didn't respond to.
...I dunno. I just found it very uncomfortable.
