I'm not trying to be a douchebag or anything but here's my story. I'm an atheist and my grandparents can't accept it even though I'm 18 and it's my choice. So this Christmas I head over to my grandmas house and she says "Open your gift, I'm sure you'll love it" and guess what it is?
[spoiler]A -blam!-ING BIBLE[/spoiler]
Yes she decides to spend 50 dollars on something she knows I won't touch in my entire life. I appreciate that she at least thinks of me but still it's demeaning that she's trying to convert me whenever she can.
Yes I know that I'm an atheist and I celebrate Christmas but I don't celebrate it for the birth of "Christ" but I only celebrate it for time with family. Also, I'm selling the bible and buying another gift for my father with my money since he actually respects my decision.

1 ReplyIf you believed in a place of eternal suffering, don't you think you'd try even just a little to convert them to avert that outcome?

Dude you can be a atheist but you don't need to talk trash about you're family! I am not going to say something like people die in Afrika you should be happy. no I am going to say that it is a nice present even if you wil never touch it one day you're grandma is going to die and like mine only to be found in her house dead for a week my grandma was also a believer of God and Jesus but that is what I love about her she does what she wants and gives a lot of love the thing you hate about her will make you smile when she is gone and I am only a 13 year old who says this probably to a 11 year old who wants toys and games gift cards but shouldn't you be grateful? Sh!t it's starting to look like a Africa talk!

Hey at least you didn't get love or friendship as a gift, it seems those useless gifts are common around my general vicinity...

Yeah this current generation of grandparents are probably the most devout group of Christians right now

7 RepliesHow about for next Christmas you get nothing and then you can think about what you have rather then what you don't have. Less fortunate people's children probably don't get anything for Christmas and your here complaining about a $50 gift from your grandma that you aren't going to use? Think about what you have rather then what you didn't get or don't have.

Be glad you still got something. Wow, you say that you don't want to be a douche, but you're really looking like one to me

Tl:dr: im a spoiled brat who got something i didnt like and am ranting about it online

Wow. I would have done the same thing. Giving an atheist a bible is like giving a vegan a grill, except steak is real and heaven isn't. I would have still appreciated her attempt to 'save me from hell', because it's not her fault she was taught made up lies about an afterlife.
