Question Posted Thursday January 24 2013, 12:51 am
Okay, so basically, two years ago a friend and I, wrote witty letters to 'God.' (I, for one, do not believe in him.) And, recently I got a bible in the mail, a long with the notes we wrote, and buried in the snow two years ago. We did not have our addresses on it, but we had our names, and last names.
I just wanna know, based on what you think, was it a stalker, or..?
(Note: She had gotten the bible as well, and there was no return address, and post office could not trace it back. We got the bibles on the same day.)

adviceman49 answered Thursday January 24 2013, 10:10 am: I agree with the other two responses. Whoever this person is I do not believe they are a stalker. In fact since it took two years for them to come forward, so to speak, I believe they/he/she is someone you know or at least knows you. Whoever sent the Bibles is most likely a neighbor or a member of your parents church.
I understand that receiving a Bible in the mail along with the notes you wrote over two years ago is a little unnerving. Whoever sent them may have had the best of intentions but was wrong to do so with out identifying themselves.
I will go out on a limb here and say that since you say you do not believe in god and if you said so in your note, this may have been their way of trying to prove to you that their is a god, at least in their mind. I don't think god would use USPS to make a delivery of a Bible, do you?
It is probably to late for the Police to lift fingerprints from the Bible, the wrapping or boxing. Still it is not a bad idea to make a police report on this just in case someone is watching you. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Razhie answered Thursday January 24 2013, 9:09 am: Well, mostly likely it was someone who had some sense of who you are, or easily found your sur names (or your parents names) and was able to attach them to your address, and thought they were being clever and/or kind to send you Bibles as a response.
I'd agree this is more creepy than clever behavior, but it's probably best to just laugh it off. People can be funny about their faith and can act oddly, even inappropriately, out of the desire to share it with others.
Sending bibles anonymously to the home address of young people is a bit creepy and certainly inappropriate - but it's a far cry from stalking and probably harmless behavior. Best to take it as a well-meant gesture from a stranger, nothing more. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
Trauma answered Thursday January 24 2013, 1:31 am: That is definitely pretty strange. I can understand being a little weirded out by it. But, if they had your names in them, I can't imagine it being very hard for someone to figure out where to send them. It could have possibly even been someone you both knew. Which, in that case, if they knew where you lived, they could have just slipped them in the mailbox instead of actually mailing them.
It's definitely something to keep an eye on, but at this point I don't necessarily think it's anything too be too concerned about, and hasn't crossed the line into stalker territory, not legally anyway. Just stay safe and keep your guard up. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
