How do you cope with Christian parents/relatives treating you like the plague?

I have unhinged mother that whenever she's around she'll magically start shouting blood of Jesus over me and praying. She also randomly tells my business to random relatives and strangers in hopes they will pray for me and I'll be 'cleansed' and 'saved'.

It's alot on me psychologically because what I really want to do is lash out and tell her about what a horrible mother she is and how she's not an actual Christian.

It's very bizarre the worst people in family who don't actually live biblically accurate lives and are all around just horrible people, but because they got to church every Sunday and giving tithings there in a place to tell me about how to be a proper Christian and that I have Satanic spirits in me.

I usually just stay away and keep my distance, because I don't want to be driven insane but imagine these same people condemning you, also feeling like Satan is attempting to destroy the family because you've decided to cut them off due to your peace. They won't let me go, and I don't doubt one day I'll have to take this all the way to court due to constant harrasment.

Nothing they do is ever wrong. The 'rise of no contact' with your family is a demented plan from Satan in order to destroy the family unit. We are all just resisting God's plan and falling into the temptation of the devil. I wish there was a genuine mental health diagnosis for these crazy nuts and the claims they make and believe.

I 100% accept that my family is extremely low iq and I have to stay away from them. But I always find their audacity and delusion so insane.

I come from a devout christian family.

From a very young age I was always extremely disturbed by the antics of my parents. They genuinely worship pastors like gods, trusted whatever they say like it's the gospel, constantly give them free things and money despite financially struggling themselves, constantly host these random strangers in their house where their young children sleep etc...

They don't find it odd and they don't understand it makes zero sense.

I'm finally coming to my senses about how off in the head my mother is. She constantly allowed random people in our home, thought everybody was her friend, she would forced me to be friends with her friends she met like 5 seconds ago. She has zero sense, but condemns me and believes I'm of the devil and evil, because I don't participate in these dumb delusional antics. This most be some form of 'Christian Hospitality' nonesense where you run around with no sense because God will protect us.

My siblings have trauma about a 'church friend' touching them. My mother is such a buffon she never cared and repeatedly allowed this man around her kids despite him repeatedly touching them. Alot of my siblings have stories about 'family friends' touching them. You know if someone regularly attends church and praises god, there's no way they can be deviant.

I'm not triggered personally, but seeing everybody's stories on here about how their parents have allowed deviant predators around them in the name of christ, triggers me and sickens me. I genuinely wish I could call CPS on these sick freaks. They will not stop, until they have to face dire consequences for the actions they take.

Prayer and belief in God does not physically protect people, so letting freaks you hardly know around innocent children makes zero sense.

My mother is more enraged out at her children for not being devout, rather than having any rage towards the sick freaks she 'befriended' that touched her kids.

Hi, I've been experimenting with making cold brew at home. Whenever I order Cold brew it's extremely watered down and expensive, mind you I'm not even getting nitro cold brew. Why spend $5 for a small cold brew, when you can spend pennies making it at home and make a larger amount.

My favorite ratio is 1 cup of coffee grounds to 3 cups of water for 8 hrs to overnight. The problem is that it causes extreme stomachs pains. I actually saw someone online speak about having this same problem, and I just assumed she was exaggerating or crazy.

I'm find that my golden ration is 1/2 cup of coffee grounds to 3 1/2 cups of water. But it's just not strong enough for me.

I want my coffee to taste like coffee, keep me up, and not straight up taste like water.

Is anybody else experiencing stomach pains when their cold brew is too strong?

Hi, a couple years ago I used to be a full on vegan. Due to always feeling hungry, constantly waking up in the middle of night hungry and having minimal energy throughout the day I stopped. This was definitely my fault because at the time I didn't really know how to cook, but it was still a challenge to eat meals that kept me full throughout the day and night.

I'm 100% considering going back technically, but more lacto-ovo-vegetarian or flexitarian.

I definitely have a better basis for a more vegetarian diet now that I'm looking into the ital diet(rastafarian diet) and Indian vegetarians etc... before I was just lost and confused on vegetarian meals.

Do you guys have any advice?

I mean legitimately planning out your meals for everyday of the week, rather than the batch cooking people call meal planning these days.

I'm at a point in my life where I'm finally ready to stop centering straight women as friends. As a bi woman, there's always a weird intrasexual competition coming in between us. I don't want their men, nor am I attracted to their men.

Heterosexual women are so used to other hetero women being backstabbing snakes towards them that they put all women in that category. I don't want to destroy your relationship/marriage, I am not secretly trying to sleep with your man.

I've always regarded my other relationships with women highly, other women don't feel the same way. Straight women's identity is rooted up in men, they're free to operate that way. I just feel like they use alot of people and then throw them under the bus after they find their 'man/prince'.

I'm not going to fight you over a man, I'm hardly attracted to him.

Straight women are weird(wired differently than us), I always thought they were brainwashed until I realized I wasn't straight, that's why I have minimal tolerance for male nonesense. I've dealt with some of relatives trying to ostracize me for not liking pedos, not tolerating problematic male behaviors because 'boys will be boys', and not defending men when they're in the wrong.

I think I'm finally done centering straight women in my life. How do you guys personal feel about straight women friends?

Books that give off that creepy dystopian vibe, but people are convinced they live in a perfect utopia.

I wanted to post the there's no war in ba sing se clip, but links aren't allowed on here.

While I was still in the faith, I dealt with alot of delusional christians that would isolate themselves from me because I would corrupt their souls due to being too much of the world and having worldly ideas?

It's weird to deal with people who feel like it's their duty to help you or seek camaraderie with you due to being of the same faith. But still shun you because everybody is secretly a demonic spirit out to get their soul.

It was usually the people with the least to offer and absolutely nothing to be jealous of, that behaved the most uppity with me.

Maybe I just had extremely poor boundaries at the time, but i'm gonna make sure I'm just as nasty and weird right back because they really believe we're worried about a bunch of poor uneducated folk that are dedicated to being in oppressive religious cults.

They make it hard not to discriminate against them, all while claiming to bother nobody despite wrecking havoc at all times.

Anybody so disturbed by Christianity that they want to move out of their country and move to one where half the country doesn't vote based on what their religious cult tells them to do and there isn't a political party that puts unhinged religious zealots in charge and at the forefront of their party.

I'm really tired of christian culture and the far right being uber religious.

Christianity is no different than the crazy Islamic extremists christians love to bash. Handmaidens tale was inspired by the Iran revolution and how it took women's rights away. It's happening right before our eyes in our culture. Conservative Christian male extremists are starting to move like the taliban.

I'd happily move to a Christian European country where nobody genuinely practices Christianity. Someone posted a study on here about how a huge a population of Americans pray 3 times a day in America, as opposed to alot of European countries not being religious at all.
