I don't think it's appropriate but you do know who you are giving it too..and their reaction to your gift..So make sure, before giving it, that you won't be offending this person..Good Luck

True story and a follow up question to the one on the Oakley sunglasses. Point being what about balance and all those who say about giving to the poor?
TY
1) How do you know they aren't giving to the poor? I just bought a new house, does that mean I'm not giving to the poor? I mean, my house costs a LOT more than a corvette.
2) Nothing wrong with Rosaries hanging from the rear view. Hopefully it actually gets used. Otherwise, the rosary doesn't mean much. I've had one hanging there before. Then I'd remember to take it into places where I'd have a long wait and pray or whatever.
3) What the heck does this say about balance? Nothing. The only thing I can guess is you're trying to say something about spending lots of money on new car and then showing some sign of religion. If this is what you're trying to say, I refer back to point 1. So what?
Now, if this guy is doing NOTHING to help others, then it means he isn't really doing a good job of following his faith. I don't buy new cars anymore (I have in the past) because I don't want a car to loose most of it's value as I drive it off the lot. I tend to buy 1 or 2 year old cars still in good shape with low mileage.
As long as you are also helping others, it doesn't really matter what you spend the rest of your money on. There are billionaires out there who spend a lot more money on cars and the like and they give millions, even billions to charities. (I think a lot of their charity choices are bad, but that's my opinion)
But here is a return question: aren't you being a bit presumptous to judge someone soley by seeing a rosary in a new car? That seems to be doing a lot of judging on low evidence.
Okay... I told my friend,( WHO IS CATHOLIC), that on Friday I was going to wear some rosary beads to school, right? And he told me NOT TO WEAR THEM... because it would like "offend" him or something. I asked him why and here's his story---
~When I went to a Catholic school I had a teacher who told us of a story of when she went to a movie store and saw a kid wearing them. She told him not to wear them because it was disrespectful and a sin or something. So he took them up off and she said he made a great "REVALATION."
~Any way... he told me to bring him something against what he said and that he would be okay with me wearing them! Please, I need a factual source of something! If you KNOW why, just tell me then!
~Thanks! ^.^
Rosaries are blessed, so they are considered holy objects by practicing Catholics. That's why your friend says he would be offended... ANY Catholic would be offended.
Rosaries are holy objects, used to guide the faithful in prayer. They are not in any way jewelry. The way they are shaped has to do with the way they guide a person's prayers.... not with being worn.
I was raised a strict Catholic and was taught from the earliest age that one would never wear a rosary as a necklace. I'm an atheist now, but I would never be so mean as to insult my Catholic friends. Besides, if you don't care about his feelings, why bother having him as a friend?

With love in Christ.
I've seen many women use them, but never a man. If they don't use them, why not?
Yes, men do say the Rosary and own their own set of beads. One of my Catholic men friends uses a set of very masculine looking wooden beads that his mother-in-law brought back for him from Ireland. Another friend has a vintage set of steel Rosary beads from WWI that he prays with.
Men in my church tend to own either black or dark brown wooden or glass Rosaries -- more macho, I suppose, than the daintier Rosaries that we women tend to choose. I think that the Rosary appeals to women more than men, but there are plenty of guys who do like that particular devotion.

Battle Beads Handcrafted Rosary Beads and Chaplets: Good Friday
This was changed as of today .. fall of 2009. It has become immensely important to me to take on the task of praying for strangers and those with little hope and much adversity. To that end, I've also begun (this past summer), to make rosaries and related items in an effort to put prayer into the hands of as many as I can that will PRAY for others. The world is at the precipice ... we need to TAKE ACTION ... NOW.
Prayer Beads, A Summary | Black Otter Trading Post
Prayer beads were first used in Hinduism, and they are known in Hinduism as japa mala. Prayer beads are also used in Christianity, both by Catholics to say the rosary, and also by Eastern Christians. Bahai’s also sometimes use prayer beads to recite 95 times per day. In Buddhism prayer beads are often used, often called the Buddhist rosary, and the number of prayer beads varies with different forms of Buddhism. A strand of prayer beads is called a mala, and the word mala literally means garland or strand.

In Hinduism, where prayer beads began, a mala contains 108 beads. This number, 108, is significant for many reasons. 108 is mathmatically significant because it is divisible by its function. Hindu deities also have 108 names, and these names are often recited during religious ceremonies. Krishna is also said to have danced with 108 “gopis”, cow-herd girls, and later to have married 16,108 wives.
