Atheists, help please!?

Ok, you guys here know me to be an atheist. I've worked at my current job for nearly 6 years now (college shrink) and there's this group of christian people who all know each other and hang with each other and exchange stuff and whatever, I don't mind them. But there's this ONE lady who always smiles at me (creepy, moth-ball smelling granny grin) and tells me Jesus is waiting and Jesus this and Jesus that. Day in and day out, I come to my office / consultory and on my desk or on my laptop there's ALWAYS a post it note with some bible passage or some prayer quote or some crap like that. I've told her nicely and not so nicely and she always replies with the same creepy little smile with something like: "I won't stop because Jesus has told me to lend you a hand, because one day you WILL come to him... and he never lies, so I know one day you will listen and pay attention and bla bla bla!!"

I've tried nicely, I've tried reporting her to the dean (supposed to be a secular institution, but he only shugs and laughs and says 'ignore her'), I've tried yelling, I've tried it all... I still find an annoying post it on my desk every morning!!

What to do?? How to make her stop?

Update:

@Sew what: You're right, I'm not a psychiatrist, I'm a psychologist. It's different, you know...

    I've dealt with people who refuse to get the message. First you tell her to stop again. Then you file a harassment report with the local PD. They'll tell you that if she persists, they'll send an officer to her. And if she persists, call the po po and have her thrown in jail.

    We watched Romney, Perry, and the WalMart Sarah Palin called Michelle Bachmann travel the country talking about how Atheist beliefs are forced on them in public places. If presidential candidates think it's wrong to force your beliefs on another, then it's wrong for an old bible thumper to force her beliefs on you.

    Why dont you get the satanic bible, god delusion. jesus is a myth and everyday she gives you a post you give her one of yours so she can see how annoying it is. also try and get an inverted cross or the number 666 on your nails. You can also just throw them out when she leaves them at your desk and just go on with ur day.

    Tell her satan is speaking to u and wants her to join your religion and that satan will reward you greatly when she is converted.

    Tell her your a demon. lol

    Source(s): when people use their religion on u use religion or secularism back. That is the only way people will listen.

    This woman is delusional. She needs psychiatric help. Have you tried locking your office securely after you leave or do you both share the same office? If you share the same office, is there anyway you can get the people in charge to remove her from the office? Do you feel like law enforcement should be involved? She is harassing you, see if you can't get some sort of restraining order. Check all your options, legal or otherwise, to get this person away from you. Ask your boss if there is anything you can do to get her removed from your vicinity.

    It seems you will have to talk to someone above the dean, if there is anybody.

    For instance, where I live this sort of behaviour is strictly forbidden. The dean has to sort the situation out. If the dean refuses or acts uninterested in the matter, we can report to the ministry of education.

    I don't know who is above the dean where you live, but this is a serious problem. Any violation of personal freedom should be strictly forbidden and therefor sanctioned.

    Quietly accept this torture. Take a picture of the post it every day. After about 10 days, send an email to the lady kindly asking her to stop. If it doesn't, take more pictures of the post its. After another 10 days, send an email to the dean kindly asking him to make it stop. If nothing is done within a month's period of time, file a lawsuit against the school for creating a religiously hostile work environment.

    Christians are being killed because they believe in God by muslims and communist around the world and in the U.S. you want to remove all traces of God from society. Canada sends preaches to jail if they speak against homosexuals and such sinners, and you babies are crying over post it notes. Talk about immature and unbalanced. If we Christians acted like you talk you probably wouldn't exist, You need to go to a good church and get saved so you can get some backbone in you. Or go see a good shrink. But remember Jesus loves all the atheist and He waits for you to come to Him so He can wash you and make you a new person for His Glory and your benefit, Love in Jesus

    I strongly suspect such people are depending on their "little old lady" status to embarrass people not to complain.

    The fact she's openly threatened to continue harassing "non-believers" is supporting this

    If you're made a complaint, I'd see if it's possible to continue to work up the chain of command. Although I'd suspect if she's continued to behave like this without any consequences, chances are she's got contacts within the organization. Maybe it's possible to complain to security - because she's violating your work space leaving her poisonous crap.

    Beyond that all I can suggest is maybe just respond that it's a shame she's not "more Christ-like". Because Christ accepted those who are different, he did not harass/bully/etc others because they believed differently to him.

    Unfortunately there's no discussing with a narrow minded bigot who thinks this kind of harassment is an example of "Christian Love" & I think they depend on this to bully others in order to save them.

    Well its simple first you will need the satanic bible put it on her desk and leave a note saying Satan loves you and to stop shoveing religion down other people's throats.

    Put Post-its on her desk with quotes from The God Delusion!

    Tell her that the constant notes are making you hate Christianity more and more and she has convinced you that Christians are obnoxious jerks who should be avoided at all costs.

    If that doesn't work, she's clearly living entirely in her own head and can't process anything that happens in the real world. Just feel sorry for her.
