If she feels comfortable wearing a symbol of her religion, how can she begrudge you wearing a symbol of yours. The triple Goddess rocks!
As far as the book, there is a lot of good stuff in that Christian bible, particularly in the new testament. I love that story of the good Sumaritan. Those Sumeritans he was talking about, they were Pagan. When you actually sit down and read the gospels, they really aren't like how most Christians represent them. Of course, most Christians have never read any ancient texts other than the bible so they don't know that the parts they tend to focus on are really the least important parts, often just reflecting the flourishes of how people talked at the time.
I did a quick search for the White Throne Judgement and apparently it's an apocolyplic thing about God Judging all of us and sending us to hell. Whatever, at least I'll be with my friends. here's a link http://www.ldolphin.org/Gwhite.html
Radbod the Asatru king of Frisia was an early target for Christian missionaries. Just before his baptism ceremony, he asked the clergy what fate his befallen ancestors who died loyal to Asatru. The missionaries replied that Radbod's ancestors were burning in Hell - to which the king replied: "Then I will rather live there with my ancestors than go to heaven with a parcel of beggars." The baptism was canceled, the aliens expelled, and Frisia remained free of grey slavery.
