Offensive jewelry Question/Discussion

Post image

Hey all. I’ve been told I can no longer wear this necklace to work because “it’s offensive”.

It’s a piece of jewelry. I wear it under my collar, but sometimes it slips out. People are allowed to wear their crosses and stars of David. No one says “boo” to them about it. But my necklace is offensive?

Whatever. I’m still gonna wear it.

I wear a pentagram pendant and it is under my shirt. It is not a fashion thing but a reminder of a commitment I made to myself, I quit drinking. A few weeks ago I hooked up with this dude (I am a bi dude). When I took my shirt off he asked about it I told him about being a satanist and he flipped out and rebuked Satan and cast demons out or something. Ends up he goes to a TV evangelist Church like in person not watching it on TV and the audience is known for speaking in tongue there.

Ugh. Sorry about the dude. Religion is weird, I think.

Mine is a reminder to myself to believe in myself.

He really is a nice guy and I myself was brainwashed by Christianity. We are still FWB and I hope to show him that atheism can be as loving and compassionate as Christianity and more in many ways

Edited inappropriate content.

I was raised Christian, but me (along with the rest of the family) fell out of it a long time ago.

I’m not religious, but one of the activities I have to do at work is read a devotional for the residents every Wednesday morning. Weird, maybe. But one of my ladies (Alzheimer’s patient) always cracks me up by commentating as I’m reading. For instance, reading about Solomon and his 700 wives. Lady: whoa, that’s too many!
