    I have a fanatical Catholic right wing cray-cray believes-it-all religion teacher. She already tried to convince me to "think about my decisions" and the like, which is all fine. I have been respectful as I can be (which is a surprising amount, considering she compared gay people to serial killers because "they are equal in God's eyes." :dry: Anyways, I was talking to my friends, and I mentioned that I don't really like Ms. ____ a whole lot. Another kid was apparently listening to our conversation, and got super offended and asked why (angrily) I didn't like the class, and the least offensive thing I could think to say is that Ms. _____ and I had issues with one another regarding our points of view. He tried to pry further, but I saw no reason to goad him any more, and babbled about how we "disagreed" and she was somewhat disrespectful towards me until he went away. I don't know if I handled this correctly. Should I have said something else? What if this gets back to Ms. _____? How do I make myself sound less offensive to others? Please help.

    It's the job of a religion teacher to teach about religion, not preach faith in the religion she believes is true. Just disregard whatever crap she says and try to get through that class with a good grade. :/

    "What if this gets back to Ms. _____?"

    What if it does? You won't be the first person to not like a teacher/class and you won't be the last.
