Every atheist should read the bible at least once. There is no logic in disbelieving something you do not even understand. - A fellow atheist. * sips hot chocolate *

Oh suck it up, just roll your eyes and move on. Those old -blam!-ers will die soon anyway.

Read it, then you can use it in your arguments with other Christians and Catholics. You be amazed how many atheist know more about religion than the ones who worship it

Can i has

Unspoken Christian rule #42.2 Never hand a nonbeliever a bible to read.

You sound like a dick head. Are you seriously going to tell an old lady you don't like a gift she gave you? A gift? Lmao -blam!-ing 12 year olds thinking atheism is about being a dick head.

At least you get a gift. The only thing I get for Christmas is food.

I am going to echo a lot of what others have said in this thread- You are acting like a complete d-bag. Really, you are. I do have some reasons for saying this: -It's a gift. I have received gifts I didn't like in my life. I smile, and act grateful. And sometimes, I even find a use for the gift. The point is, even if you don't like the gift, you still should accept it graciously. -Your grandma is just trying to take care of you. Think about it this way: You have a very stubborn friend. This friend is under the delusion that vaccines cause autism. You try, at every opportunity, to get him to change his mind, and vaccinate his child. He refuses and tells you to accept his life choices, and leave him alone. Do you: A) Ignore him, and do your best to convince him, in hopes of possibly saving the life of his child? Or B) Respect his wishes, knowing that his child may very well catch a fatal or crippling disease? I personally would choose A). The life of his child is paramount, and as his friend, I have a duty to help preserve that life. In the mind of your grandmother, the condition of your soul is paramount. As a relative, she has a duty to help you. She simply is attempting to fulfill that duty. If you disagree with her, just smile, move on, and be nice to her. Lets be honest, you probably don't see her that much. Even if you do see her on a regular basis, that doesn't excuse your crappy behavior and treatment of your family. -Just because you don't agree with a piece of literature doesn't mean you should ignore it. I, for example, am a Catholic. I believe in God. If someone was to buy me [i]The God Delusion[/i] by Richard Dawkins, I wouldn't just throw it away and tell my buddy to stick it where the sun don't shine. I would keep it, and maybe even read it to examine the argument. If you are actually secure in your beliefs, than reading opposing arguments won't scare you, or cause you to act out. It is the mark of the close minded to dismiss any argument against them without cause, and to simply throw away a piece of literature just because you don't agree with it. TL; DR Your grandmother gave you a gift. Your behavior was extremely inappropriate for the reasons listed above. You might want to examine your behavior for next time.

So you're [i]both[/i] assholes.
