So I was thinking, the general board does a really fun secret santa every year that I have so much fun with. (https://texags.com/forums/12/topics/2994308)

.. a R&P book version could be kinda fun. I think we'd need to be set some rules..like..it cant be purely snarky (i.e. I can't send a Catholic a copy of my catechism unless paired with a book they might actually want to read)

It would be a fun way to share some favorite books and some holiday spirit.

Would anyone be interested in joining?

I would never send you a boring theology book.









Mine would have pictures!


Edit: but no, I don't think we should be bound by theology or science or religion or anything

Aren't the gifts usually at least somewhat guided by the recipient's stated interests and hobbies?

The santa knows your name/address to know where to send the gift.

So if someone uses that opportunity to be jerks.... I'll know and I'll release my killer dachshund on them.

Same, if you donated to my MS150 with a fake name... I know who you are.

If I get an atheist, they're getting "A Modest Proposal".


If you get me, please don't. Read it enough already. Funny, though.

The sender would have to know the name and address of the recipient

I get that. If the sender is a machine or a trustworthy third party, I'm down. Otherwise, I'm out.

I'm in. But like... maybe we should specifically rule out theology books from it. We all know where we all stand.

It's secret santa. Don't think too much about it. Get a book you think they'd like. I pick all the books I'm interested in. I'd look forward to someone picking one for me.

Not worried about being doxxed to one person.

This is me also. I really like the idea and generally trust those that post on the R&P Board but you never know.

True. RA might learn your address and come hug you.

No way. I could never hug someone that likes Clara Oswald.

I think you get a book you think they'd like, theology or not. This is the Religion & Philosophy board. Signed up.
