how to respond to dad's "shabbat shalom"?

RE: how to respond to dad's "shabbat shalom"?



But have you told him you're uncomfortable specifically with the "Shabbat Shalom" stuff? Or are you just assuming that since he knows you are an atheist that he knows this makes you uncomfortable?

Do you have other siblings? (sorry if you said so earlier) Does your dad text them Shabbat Shalom? Could it be just his way of keeping in contact with his kids, and not wanting to leave you out?

Seriously, GLaDOS, you gotta just have a conversation with your dad. (Cave Johnson?) Do you think he's doing it maliciously? Ask him to stop. If you think he's might just be doing it out of habit or keeping contact with you, then just ask him to change what he's saying.

On a lighter note, you have a beautiful singing voice:


"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
