14. As an atheist, I have no problems getting...

Feb 2012

emails from my THREE Christian minister relatives, and my 10 or 12 relatives that follow that faith.

I know they know all about me, and they only send me Christmas greetings or Easter greetings. I can live with that.

They don't send me their latest religious kick or fad or whatever. They know better.

They accept me as I am, and I do the same for them. It's only fair. Fortunately, only 2 are sisters. One is retired and the other keeps her faith in her church, except for Christmas and Easter, which, I guess, are still big days of the year for her, and despite her living within a large predominantly Jewish community, somehow atheists need to hear about her emotions about Christmas still.
