I got a cross for christmas...

I got a cross for christmas...
from my aunt who KNOWS im an atheist, and who fights with me about it all the time (and believe me, I never bring the subject of religion up. I'd rather just live and let live because it only ends in a fight, not understanding). She also signed the package "God, I love you!" I wanted to scream I really did, just because its really offensive. If it was anyone else giving it to me just because the necklace was nice (it actually is, but trust me ill never wear it) thats one thing, but there was no good intent behind this gift. You dont give someone a gift to please yourself, you do it because its something they would like.

It was just so rediculous because it wouldnt be ok for me to give her a copy of the koran, or a jewish star as a gift... so why is this ok in her delusional thinking? I cannot wait to move out...

If I were you I would re-gift it back to her on her birthday or something. It seems those god people are always trying to push their god on us. My sister and her 2 sons are god people and they do and say little things all the time to push their god agenda. They are all well aware of how I feel. It's just little things and I'm not sure that they are aware of what they say, some of the time, others they are well aware. I don't try to push my non-belief on them, I don't know why they feel they need to push their god and jesus on me.

It wouldn't have been ok for you to give her a copy of the Koran...until now! If she wants to mess around with gifts, reciprocate Wink Then she has only herself to blame.

I'm all for the re-gifting idea. And hell yes, go right out and but her a copy of the Koran! Ask her how she likes it.

I can't stand bullshit people like this who think that they're being so very clever in trying to be passive aggressive.

Shit, if she has an email address, go and sign her up for Mormon quotes of the day or something and then tell her that you are just trying to "expand her world view."

Hell, wear him upside down or right side up: you'll be stoned in any case for creating a representation of the sacred. :S
