Am I really just "covering my ass" by identifying as Agnostic?

So, I have this very unprofessional, uneducated boss. She does not have her high school diploma, has never lived away from home, has never had a relationship, and JUST got her drivers license. Oh, and did I mention she’s thirty? I’m not trying to poison the well by introducing her like that, but it’s true. Don’t ask me how she got a managers position because it baffles me.

Anyways (sorry about the rant). Today we got into the discussion of religion. I told her that I do not believe in Jesus or the Christian faith. I am Agnostic, I do not deny there is a God but I am also not sure. First of all, she said “Jesus and God are the same thing. If you don’t believe in Jesus you are saying you don’t believe in God”. That really got me going, is she serious? That doesn’t even make sense. Jesus was a supposed human being who formed the basis for Christianity. God is not a human being, it is an entity/higher power.

Secondly, she said “you calling yourself Agnostic is just covering your ass because your afraid you will go to hell if you deny God.”

So, as you can imagine this really got me agitated. My boss engages in these kind of fallacy filled debates with me quite frequently. I’m getting really sick of it and want to say something. What is your opinion on this whole conversation? Do you think she’s right?
