There's the most fantastic let-out in Deuteronomy 23:21,22
"21When thou shalt vow a vow unto the LORD thy God, thou shalt not slack
to pay it: for the LORD thy God will surely require it of thee; and it
would be sin in thee.
22But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee."
I'm not usually in the mood to argue religion. I believe you cannot
prove that god does/does not exist, and that the only way to find out
what happens after you die is to die.
But some people can't take a hint. When they get in my face about
whether I've "been saved", I tell 'em it ain't none of their business &
quote Matthew 6:5-6.
Makes most of them go away. Some require a slightly more vigorous hint.
An offer to let them personally verify the validity of their belief in
their own personal salvation in the only way truly possible usually does
the trick.
