Want to put a cross in my room ? Ok

Only disclaimer is that my parents are great. Hope you find it funny, I still chuckle when I remember this.

Setting: Many years ago, I was ~16 years old, living with my parents, recent Atheist (although long time doubter).

After telling my parent that I'm an atheist, my mother put a cross and icon (* religious painting) in my room. I asked her to remove it, but she wouldn't, saying something like - maybe it will make you more religious.

I told her that while the cross and icon are in my room, I will read a passage from the Bible every day - out loud, so she can hear. And she was very happy to hear this.

The next day, I googled "worst bible verses", chose a short passage carefully, and read it from a physical Bible we had in the house. Her reaction was: "This is in the Bible ?", and I showed her. Same thing happened the second day.

The 3rd day I went to pick up the Bible, she sighed and told me to get the icon and cross down, so she can put them in her room. And that was the end of it.

Edit: One of the passages was Genesis 19:8
