I am living in a madhouse

[Giracel]

This is such a complex topic I don't even know how to break it down succinctly. It's like you need my entire life story to fully grasp the utter turmoil that is going on right now.

My parents met at this certain religious sectarian institute (brand of american christianity). I was brought up among the doctrines they learned there, but some years ago, when I was in HS, my mom began to become "enlightened" and realized many of those things were false. She may well have been right. Although, the alternative seems no better. Because ever since that time, she is always at my dad's throat about it, telling him it is all false, while she is a "true christian" … which as far as I can tell essentially means living in a permanently contrite mind-frame of constant repentance.

Now I have gotten back after finishing college, for a month now, and I have stepped right back into this maelstrom. What makes this point unique though, is that people connected to the sect have been dying suddenly or undergoing legal calamities. She sees this as vindication and that judgement is coming.

Personally, I don't care about the doctrinal qualms. If the cult burns, let it. None of it has ever benefitted me. None of it cares about the basic functionality of providing me with a wife. It's all power play, malicious motives, madness. I am within this as teenagers begin glorious summers of travels and sexhaving. But nothing ever changes here.

first of all I'm sorry for what you been going through.

I personally don't know because my parents, while christian, don't pray nor read the bible nor do any other shit. It's basically just superstition, "pray le God ooooooo don't say bad things about le God oooo you have to believe in something otherwise you have no values oooooo".

However just take a look at this subforum and you'll have your answer

american cults tend to be crazy because of mormonism and evangelists who made christianity even more retarded

Thanks man I appreciate it

For mine it's similar, as I think I mentioned in PMs, we don't go to church or anything, it's this little ivory tower of (im)perfection in our house. You might think that this is due to my mom's enlightenment, leading us to stop attending "false" churches, but the reality is we weren't even going anywhere consistently before that started. This has only strengthened her resolve to isolate, and since she controls my dad he has to cater to her.

That's another topic in itself, my mom holds all the cards in the marriage despite le based trad christianity supposedly being the foundation of their relationship. My dad has made me do cucked stuff like apologizing to her for nonexistent infractions just because he's scared of her anger later

We are not mormons, the evangelicals consider them heretics and not even part of christendom.

i think the problem most likely lies in america's history with religion, im not american and so im pretty much clueless. but with the amount of cults you guys have here, i wouldn't be surprised if this was the cause.
also yeah i just think that americans are extremely retarded when it comes to religion. they "center" themselves and america into religions way too much by changing a religion in particular until it fits some people's agendas and ideas.

I suspect you're right, I mean the pilgrims who came here were kicked out by the BASED church of England, because they were puritanical cult freaks. That was the early 1600s. By the 1776 independence, most of the leaders were Enlightenment-era deists and freemasons like George Washington, so clearly there was some change during that interim. But the cult influence clearly hasn't gone away, just metamorphosed.
