He just said that I was meant to have 'other priorities' and that I had to give up 'all that'--meaning my religion, basically--and that Our Lord ought to be my only god. Well, I mean, I think he was thinking that we think of gods the way Christians think of Jesus, which is just ignorant. And when I tried to point out that it didn't work that way, he said 'It wasn't a suggestion' or something like that.
And I understand the point of testing whether I'd follow his orders--only I just think it's an odd thing to ask someone to give up.
