About Religious Fanaticism And How It Affects Our Lives

By budfairy September 23, 2020 8 answers Last updated September 23, 2020

I am very worried about a friend of mine. Her life is hers, I can't and I have no right to confuse her, but I care and I want to at least share my concern. We met her three years ago, when she was 29. We liked each other immediately. Coffee, a walk in the park and the second meeting we were in bed. But there was no connection. We slept three times and then it dawned on her that she still had feelings for her ex. I didn't care about love triangles, so we decided to stay just friends. And it really happened. Three years have passed, during which we write to each other from time to time, drink coffee once every few months, talk to each other. And we've only had sex once in three years, after the end of our initial adventure. She even told me at one point that she had a boyfriend. I was happy for her and supported her, but she didn't succeed with him either. However, she is a little labile emotionally and stumbles on all sorts of nonsense. At one time she was very obsessed with astrology, then with some yoga practices. And a few months ago he stumbled on Christianity. At least it is Orthodox Christianity, not an evangelical sect. Since then, he has posted 3-4 times a day on FB various pop materials - articles, quotes from the bible, videos. In 2-3 days he personally sends me some such things. I don't even read them. I personally have no opinion on religious issues, but I respect the faith of others. I don't know if there is a God, but even if there is, I am convinced that he would not rejoice at such fanaticism. We spoke with her a few days ago and she told me that she wanted to become a nun. He started telling me some nonsense about devils, demons, demons. She told me that when we had an affair with her, we were possessed by demons. The other day he wrote to me again and I allowed myself to be direct. I shared that I think she was a fanatic and that this is not normal. I told her that the girl I once liked was a perfectly normal woman, not obsessed with the devil. She got mad at me. But at least I was honest with her. There's really nothing I can do, her life is hers. As a friend, I decided to just be honest and that's it. I hope he realizes and doesn't ruin his life.

   As a believer, I will tell you that you are right in terms of bigotry, it is never good and is not supported by a church, or at least it should not be. Nothing too extreme is healthy.

   Haha, that's why I'm an atheist.

   Bad, I have been driving to university for 6 years, I have completed specialties related to radio and TV broadcasting and security of sites! But out of pure curiosity, I started downloading PDF files from the network from how the train contact network is serviced, to the maintenance of the railway! I am a believer, but not like your girlfriend! And from the very beginning of my studies I started to be interested in everything related to trains! Some even joke that I'm half a railroader! This is not going to work, I'm not interested, but I'm glad that when I travel, I know a lot more than the people on the train, because some can't tell First from Second Class! So much for that! And I know that there is a God, I have read about demons and demons, I have watched such movies, with recreated events! Everyone lives their life as they see fit! I even read that most people pour themselves on the big holidays in the churches - so, to relax a bit, along with the busy daily work - some are drivers, sales consultants, bankers! Some are believers, others are not! But they work, they look after their families! Because during the socialism of the old generation it was assumed that there is no God, that this is a fabrication! Most likely, this is how they raise their children! But not everyone is like that! I also see young families lighting candles! There are also tourist groups from abroad who came to take their pictures! I don't know what your girlfriend read! Seek a psychologist, take her there, put her in a psychiatric ward, if necessary! A nun will get up! This means that she will abandon / forget about everything secular - concerts, shopping, will devote herself entirely to monastic life - work and prayers, going to bed and getting up on schedule! It's not like going on a trip - the monastery has strict rules and regulations! This is life outside of civilization! To take this fateful step, one must also deprive oneself of family, children and relatives! Does your girlfriend realize what she's doing? If she does, her life will change! She will live in a convent, without any men, only in humility to God! But the choice is hers!

   Religion is a virus to the human brain. It destroys them from within. It is highly contagious, but usually educated and naturally intelligent people are immune to it. Labile and trusting people with medium or low IQ, and especially those without education, often fall victim to it. It's a pity it happened to your girlfriend. My advice is not to waste your time with her, but to find a boyfriend.

   Hello, I am a fanatically believing Christian, I believe in the things that your acquaintance believes in, at least in some. Anyway, becoming a nun seems a bit extreme to me. Give me a face to talk to.

   They are emotionally weak people. They fall victim to all sects, be they religious, financial or political. You can not do anything. Hopefully one day her mind will come to her head.

   Well ... what can I tell you ... we overpopulated the Earth, we damaged the climate, and quite reasonably people started screaming. You see - mass pederasty, religious sects, political conflicts and talk of war ... The population needs a reduction. But how will it happen? In any case, I suspect that it will not be very pleasant ... And when this happens individually (as with your girlfriend) it is a tragedy ... She will probably not have children in this life .. But for it is hardly her fault, but rather some global processes that have attracted her and her in one way or another.

   Number 4, read your comment again, if you are still so deluded to think that you have the right to categorize, just go to a madhouse ...: D People have said it, as you are simple it will be for a long time.
