An odd circumstance with religion

[Abaddon_ire]

This very day, I had an odd event with my next door neighbor. 

I was inveigled to fit a replacement dimmer switch in her kitchen. No problem.

Job done, I engaged with her 13 yo son on a trivial matter of agism, the usual, only  teens think 3/4 is a valid measure blah.

And then she decked him with a full bunched fist to the face.

At that point, there was little to be done, so I collected my various tools and withdrew.

One of the tools I collected was the victim to whom I gave a talking to despite the bruises.

Nobody has to tolerate that religious assault. 

The problem is that I am supposed to be going to replace another switch on Tue. Do I stand my ground? Or seek the easy neighbourly path? 
I don't know.

Even after I looked up "inveigled," I'm still lost.

So you were sweet talked into doing a electrical job by this lady. Her son then engaged you in a discussion about age, in which he was insulting. She then punched him right in the face knocking him down, and you are considering if you want  to go back and do another job ?

I'm not sure where the religious assault comes from.

[Minimalist]

It's hard to replace a dimmer switch on a religitard.  No matter what you do they just get dimmer.

Still, I have to agree with Poss on this.  Where does religion factor in?

Pretty much. The punch came over my right shoulder, jesus was apparently weeping because we had a trivial convo about fractional ages between me and the kid. 

I was not expecting that. She laid an full on bunched fist to the kids face on the grounds that it offended jesus that we might argue about the trivial matter of whether one might be 13 and a half and how those few brief months might be important. The flying fists completely took me by surprise.

The follow on job was arranged previously before this ball of crap.

Wow. That's distilled ignorance right there. Not to mention child abuse.

If done in Jesus' name, there can be nothing wrong with the action don't you know.

While I did in the past reveal that I am an atheist (cue shock and horror) I hate to think what might happen were I to reveal that my eldest is an outright trans.

Good christian hate.

Punching aside... what's wrong with a fractional age measure? I'm 19 and 1/2... 19 wouldn't really do it justice because I was not remotely the same person when I was 19 as am I as a 19 and 1/2 year old! I'm gonna side with the kid here. Metaphorical Jesus can punch me all he likes; increasing the precision of an already small measurement isn't something I will apologize for.

Also I find it hard to believe this actually happened. If it did please call the police!

Forget doing another job. No parent should be allowed to punch their child in the face, especially for so petty a reason. Call the police on her.
