9. Oh, YOU go to church?

Yes, people ask this. A colleague of mine has done this to people more than once.

When we told her we had just left service she said with a sense of shock and awe, “OH! YOU go to church??” We said yes, and in response she said “Wow, that’s interesting.” While I didn’t think too deeply into it, my friend was a little offended. “Why did she say it like that?” She would do this often to others (“Oh, you pray?”) not to be an a** but because she really wanted to know. She didn’t realize that the way she asked the question, she made us look like we had been heathens.
