I'm not an atheist, but I no longer practice the religion in which I was raised, so am I allowed to respond? Or is this only for atheists? |

Like crosses and whatnot? I'm cleaning my room and I came across my baptism candle and this first communion cross thing I got and I don't really know what to do with it. I feel like I shouldn't just throw it out for some reason. |

157 is a prime number. The next prime is 163 and the previous prime is 151, which with 157 form a sexy prime triplet. Taking the arithmetic mean of those primes yields 157, thus it is a balanced prime.

They're collecting dust in my closet, or in a drawer somewhere. |

The worst thing that can happen to a good cause is, not to be skillfully attacked, but to be ineptly defended. - Frédéric Bastiat
I try to deny myself any illusions or delusions, and I think that this perhaps entitles me to try and deny the same to others, at least as long as they refuse to keep their fantasies to themselves. - Christopher Hitchens

hung the crosses on the wall and stuck the bibles next to the rest of my books |

I got rid of the religious stuff prior to my becoming one of Jehovah's Witnesses. JW's don't venerate the cross, so I got rid of mine (I donated them or threw them away). They also don't view angel's quite the same way so I packed a couple up. One, I keep out for sentimental reasons (it belonged to my grams). I got rid of most holiday items except for cards. Reading material was either placed on my bookcase for reference material, donated or trashed. |

I have two Bibles in my closet. One is pretty worn from years of use (I was required to take 4 religion classes because I attended a private, christian school), and the other I got for my high school graduation and I haven't ever opened that one up. |

It's funny: While I'm reading this thread I see an advertisement for christian pillgrimmages to Israel. |
|
Yep to what? lol (that had nothing to do with me, but I find it funny when people ask two questions which require different answers and someone answers "yes" haha) |

To burn your old religious stuff is to be religious. Only a religious person would think old bibles hold power over them. |
|
I got a Bible when I left my primary school... it's on my bookshelf I think. |
|
People don't tend to burn books to keep warm... it's either done to make a statement or because of superstitions. |
|
Piss on them, singe them a bit, and nail them up in prominent locations around your home or community, upside down if applicable. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

I used to have a buybull for school. I was kind of lazy with all my textbooks, so if it's still in a closet somewhere, it doesn't have covers at this point hehe. |

Donate it to a church or library or something. Or just Goodwill. |
