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.

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.
-
Aka, even grandparents can be d!cks
-
It's a great story about the most amazing drug trip I've ever had

3 RepliesWhy sell it? It's one of the best fiction novels I've ever read [spoiler]But in all seriousness, keep it, could be last gift you ever get from her. And it's a good read even when you don't believe any of it. [/spoiler]

5 RepliesMy brother got a new phone and I didn't really get anything that big. No big deal, I got some cool little stuff. Then my mom said they that her and my dad thought about getting me a new computer but decided not to.

4 RepliesGuess what: I'm an atheist. I got a 50$ Bible as a present once, too (From my Grandmother) Guess what I didn't do: Sell it Bitch about it Make a thread about it [spoiler]What I did do: Leave it in its case because its a nice -blam!-ing book Appreciate the fact they were willing to spend money on something for me *Saved this (appearently in depth) version of the Bible in case during my time as an Atheist, I EVER NEEDED A -blam!-ING REFERENCE WHEN SHITTING ON I mean -politely debating- hard Christians. And maybe Ill be bored one day.[/spoiler]

Your grandma is a savage.

48 RepliesWow! You decide to celebrate Christmas and be a bitch who only cares about a "good" gift. Maybe before you donate the bible, open it up a little and allow the disciples of God preach to you through it. Good day day Sir and Merry Christmas! Ps: I tried to sound like a gentleman and not a basic jackass!

Trade it for a Broble.

4 RepliesI completely understabd where you're coming from. I'm almost the same way but she threatens to kill herself (no joke) if I don't go to church with her on Christmas Eve, same thing on Easter.
-
3 RepliesYou see the gift all wrong. Your grandmother clearly loves and cares about you enough to try to do what she feels is an expression of that love and caring. That you only see it as a terrible gift and solely to convert you is your fallacy.
-
To her, she is trying to save your soul from eternal punishment. I'd be upset as well, but she thinks she is doing a nice thing. It's the thought that counts :)
-
Can everyone stop trying to keyboard warrior this guy into keeping the Bible. It's his choice to do with it as he pleases but if whatever he does is what you'd do or not - you don't have to tell him that he'll "die alone"' or just be generally toxic. To Op: You do you, boo.

Edited by Sapphire: 12/27/2015 12:20:18 AMThat is so... insanely, extremely disrespectful to you and your beliefs. Seriously, wow.

1 ReplyRead up. Maybe it will transform your edgy attitude into a more accessible one.

1 ReplyWhile you do sound like a jerk. Your Grandmother shouldn't be trying to shove Christianity down your throat.

5 RepliesShe shoulda gave you a fedora and neckbeard trimmer

3 RepliesLet me guess, you went to church with your family as a child and you "woke up" and now are a total asshole to them, and she misses the nice kid she once knew.
