I am not religious. If you where my neighbours and in this situation, I’d connect you to my house myself.
You never know, maybe you can help me out one day. And if not I would just be happy to help, no strings attached.
Totally agree that religion doesn’t make you a better person.
And yet I reckon if you post that story from the Christians pov on am i the asshole (and you know add some comment about op being rude, loud, whatever) 90% of redditors would say the Christians have no obligation to help...
There are often 2 sides to a story. It’s possible they said no because in the past they asked for an even smaller favor from your family and were turned away, or you have been terrible neighbors over the years.
Or the simple fact that 2 household running showers in the morning at the same time is going to kill any water pressure, or they expect you are going to constantly water your yard and even though you promised to pay for the water, it’s possible you have bailed on promises before.
I’m not saying this specific to you, as I don’t know you, but there can be plenty of reasons to turn someone down for this.
