One of my co-workers wears a cross on a necklace all the time, so I always assumed she was a christian (which I am not). Although we have had a good friendship over the past 4 years that I've worked there, there was always a reservation on my part to opening up about my true feelings at times, because I didn't want to offend her. A couple of months ago I mentioned something about being christian, and she told me she wasn't. She said, "How strange that you would assume I was a christian just because I was wearing a cross!" Well what was I supopsed to do, jump to the conclusion that she was a pagan? The point is, my feeling of not wanting to offend her supposedly christian sensibilities has interfered wih our friendship, because I might have relaxed a lot more if she wasn't always wearing that cross.
