What would you do if.........?

Question

What would you do if i was your roomate and you put up a cross in our apartment and i didnt want it there since i'm not a christian and removed it in the middle of the night and the next morning you found it missing would you confront me about it and how so? Discuss

Answer 1

I would be very upset and confront you for sure,cause we should respect other people's religious no matter you are Christian,who said if you are not Christian you can steal,you against the laws already.

Answer 2

i had a roomate who was chatolic( sry bout the spelling) but he wrote this little prayer over our doorway and blessed the house with holy water.
i didn't care. what was the cross doing to you? i understand you are not a christian but do you have to go out of your way to let everyone know, if so you have a problem.
yuo are better off telling her jesus wasn't hung on a cross but on a straight up and down steak, tell her do some research and you both may learn something.
if i were your roommate i would not put the cross back up. You have shown me you are an asshole by taking it down in the middle of the night and not trying to talk to me about it. i wouldn't waste any more time on you probly ever after that.

Answer 3

From my standpoint, that cross would not even have been put up until I had discussed this with you first. I would have asked first because we both have to live there and agree on the decor. There should be some private space allotted to each of us to do with as we pleased and that is where I would put my cross after we came to a decision of where that particular private space for each of us would be. If the sceanario had been as you expressed it, Yes, I would have confronted you and asked you if you had removed it and why? We then would have gone on to the issue of private space and just where I could put my things, and you yours.

Answer 4

If you are not a Christian, why would it bother you whether it was there or not? It should have no more meaning to you than any other object of art. Why should you even care if it were there or not? What an ignorant question to even ask. And what an ignorant thing to do - removing another's personal belonging. You should be ashamed of yourself! I would have most definitely confronted you!

Answer 5

Was the cross in MY ROOM? If so, you were out of line. I would certainly confront you as to what you were doing in my room.

Was the cross in a shared space in the apartment? If it was, then the roommate was out of line for putting it up without your permission/approval, as it would be to put up any religious/spiritual wall art or symbols in shared areas. Those areas should clearly be kept neutral.

Now, I would ask for it back, and would expect you to give it to me. However, I wouldn't put it up in a shared area to begin with before discussing it.

Answer 6

That would be so rude, if someone hung a big cross in a shared room without asking the other roomate first.

I guess hiding it wouldn't be right either.
If I had a roomate I'd tell them to hang that $hit in their own room.


I think it would be fun to have a big bronze Jesus hanging on a cross, just to be sacrilegious. Like a 3' tall cross.

Answer 7

What if...

Oh boy...I don't understand if these are just an attempt to anger Christians or what.

Why couldn't you just simply ask someone to remove the cross instead of being a 4th Grader and stealing it?

Answer 8

It depends on where the cross was located when I put it up. If it was on your side of the dorm, I would NOT put it there without your express consent, in the first place. If you objected to me having one on MY side of the room, I would have to seek a different room, because of your objection for me to display, in my personal living quarters, an unantagonistic symbol of my faith.
I

Answer 9

I would delinitily confront you about it. I would explain to you since I also pay rent then I have every right to express my religious beliefs where ever I want to in OUR apt.

Answer 10

I would let you know, firmly but in an attacking manner, that I loved there too and that we needed to learn how to compromise with the decorating and otherwise. If you are close enough to be living together, you should be comfortable dealing with the way you each express your inner self.
