i normally address their religious beliefs right then and there. see the mouth drop open. i am a christian and reading the bible for 47 years of my life. i can address those beliefs quickly and do. I know and respect that some people do care and want to help us with our disabilities, but I have had times when people have totally scared my family and me by saying very religious things like "God is going to heel you", read this part of the bible and once we have had a woman start praying to me in a restaurant (which was embarrassing for everybody in the restaurant, not just my family). As I said we do respect that people have different religious beliefs than what we do, but there's a proper time and place to address those beliefs.

You will get your awesome reward one day at heaven's gate"....(blah blah).... i get it more often then you think.... people are so ignorant! Jennifer
