As a reminder of my current/past situation, I’m the only atheist in a family of devout believers. My wife and I are feeling much better now, and are back to our normal routines, which couldn’t be any different.
She’s at the dining room table wrapping Christmas presents and listening to her Christmas music, and I’m in the office on an atheist website listening to black metal radio on Spotify. We couldn’t be anymore opposite than we already are, but we’ve been together for over 40 years. Don’t ask me how we make it work, it just does for both of us.
I’m convinced that my family, especially our daughter actually think I’m a Satanist, that’s why I started this thread, to show just how opposite we are on a daily basis. They all wear their crucifix necklaces and earrings, and during this time of year, their other Christmas jewelry.
Jesus is the reason for the season, I hate that fucking crap, that’s why I haven’t participated in this holiday for almost 20 years now.
I haven’t purchased any Christmas gifts for anyone but the grandkids for all this time, I hate this time of year, and they all know it. They keep asking me if I want to try their church thing almost every year.
No thanks.
