Well, if that isn't a dismissal on religious grounds, I'm not certain how to describe it.
Perhaps you can expound on its purely neutral characteristics? Or did you actually intend a passive-aggressive response? I know *I* did < VBG >
I do not know, nor have I ever met anyone in real life that cites a Bible verse in response to a normal everyday question in a normal everyday discussion. Doing that changes the nature of the discussion to the point where you are now no longer having the same discussion. You can no longer argue that point because the point is now that person‘s personal conviction and not the original topic anymore. In itself doing THAT is what is passive aggressive.
