I just received the most shit present ever
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.

That's why you should never be an atheist around old people.

2 RepliesI have an idea Burn it so you can become a satanist (oh yes, I believe I just made up that word. I'm a genius) We'll see each other... soon. *evil uncontrollable laugh* *fades in the shadows*

Burn it and give it back to them Say thank you but no thank you

Edited by Cmdr Chaos: 12/27/2015 2:22:35 PMMy family exchanges books every year. This one's actually not a bad read. Tons of action. Questionable plot lines. Overarching themes. Meaningful deaths. The language can be a bit chewy at times but there are easier to digest translations. Even if you're not religious I still think it's worth a read at least once maybe twice. But socks would have been a more appropriate gift. ;)

Plus it's your grandma! Wtf do you expect from her, the atheist book of life? Stop talking sht about your life and move on.

Give it to someone you don't like, it'll save you $50

Be glad you were able to spend time with your family and that you have a grandmother.

Your grandparents suck

Keep it somewhere so when you grow old you'd look intelligible with these old archaic books lying around.

10 RepliesI mean or you could just read it, lol. I'm an atheist, and I love reading from the bible. Reading is a fantastic brain exercise, and a religious text is not exempt from this. The bible is an incredible piece of historical literature, and honestly if you don't wish to read it for fear of indoctrination, your beliefs are too insecure to be making a big deal out of receiving a religious gift.
-
8 RepliesI don't get why so many people are mad at OP for getting rid of a gift that he has no use for and doesn't want. Why should he keep something he isn't going to use? Respect is a two way street. If you give someone something with the intention of telling them that their beliefs are wrong, you're not being respectful. The road to hell is paved with good intentions...

At the very least read it for the sake of reading it, not for spiritual purposes

I got a 3D printer. Now I can make a Pip Boy or a pencil holder.

The bible is actually a pretty good read. I like reading stuff based on religious topics and I'm atheist but I find them quite interesting.
