Ahh, but that was the point! The girlfriend in my scenario did NOT ask for an opinion. Many people who believe in homeopathy, astrology, numerology, etc. have learned not to ask such questions because they get tired of defending their kooky beliefs.
Leo,
Your reaction is a sane one and similar to the one I manage every time my mother praises the Lord for some good thing like, good weather or someone surviving cancer while in a hospital suffering through chemo treatments (I would suggest maybe those chemo treatments had more to do with it than prayer, but, whatever). Sometimes I lose my shit because I am human, but there is definite merit in learning to tolerate other people's kooky beliefs.
