When Anon breaks up with her they will claim he was a demon sent to test their faith.
post
There's only one way: Anon should simulate fainting like the mom and then explain that god told them they have to break up.
As someone who grew up in a conservative, Baptist home, I can tell you that this 100% isn't the most insane thing I've heard or seen, but it falls right in line.
My cousin wouldn't let his daughter watch Wicked because they whisper a spell during the movie.
I literally asked "Are you fucking serious?"
The query went right by his perception of me questioning his sanity as if I was making a remark in regards to the film itself.
Yeah, man. They're everywhere.
"r-right."
My parents nearly didn't let me read or watch Harry Potter "cuz witchcraft". There is a lot of stupid out there.
My step-siblings were not allowed to watch or play Pokemon in the late '90s because "they are demons that people catch and carry around with them."
I heard about how Pokemon say their names because they are demons and repeating their names increases their power in the world because you summon demons by chanting their names and playing drums.
BRB, going to buy a drum and try this for myself.
Seriously, a lot of southern churches have this thing about drums because they believe some conspiracy theory that African Religion is actually "Demons!" and that they used drums to summon the demons.. And that rock music is bad because it uses drums, which summon demons.
It's stupid and racist
Insane how grown ass adults believe in absolute fairy tales written by the rich/kings to keep the lower classes subservient. In 2026.
I'd love to ask someone in the 1940s what they'd think of 2026. I bet they'd think we were all living on other planets and half cyborg by now. But nah. Trillionaires.
I feel like a trillionaire in 2026 would not be that surprising to someone from the 1940s, considering they had billionaires back then too.
Yep. My mom is the last thing I hold any level of doubt for. I let her have her Christian thises and thats and I indulge her just enough to keep her happy. She was and is a great, loving mother who deserves to go out comfortably, and I'm seeing to it.
.. but the very week she's gone, the filter is off and is never going back on. No one else deserves it and it literally sucks the life out of me to nod along to someone else's insanity when they're around. It's draining.
I have to wash off with NetGeo documentaries, Nova episodes and Twain essays after every visit.
I think my father in law still believes Hurricane Katrina was a punishment to the people of New Orleans from God Himself. I've never heard him say similar things about other natural disasters though.
My parents told me that the Clinton's, Gates family, and other influential people go to masquerade parties where they murder babies and wear their skin as masks. And they were 100% serious.
In the world of Epstein Island revelations, there is some fucked up stuff out there, but I'm pretty sure we'd know if people were mass slaughtering babies for fun.
This is what gets me. We have proof billionaires have a secret child sex club. That's not even a conspiracy theory anymore. But why do people still feel the need to endlessly speculate and wonder if it's "actually something worse?" I do not understand the conspiratorially minded. Like I legit saw someone say in response to the first Esptein file releases say "what is this supposed to be distracting us from?" Like... HUHHH??? This is your HOLY GRAIL! The thing you e always wanted! Hard proof that the elite have a secret child sex club and you're reaction is "seems fake, what are they really hiding." Blows my mind.
Also, you is directed at the person I was talking about, not you you. In case this comes across as accusatory.
this 100% isn't the most insane thing I've heard or seen
What would that be then?
I have a few:
- When looking at the video feed from a night vision camera, my parents tried to convince me the white specs floating around were angels and souls watching over us (it was dust in the air refracting the infrared)
- Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton are part of a baby murdering cult were they skin baby faces to wear as masquerade masks
- Bill Gates is building COVID-19 nanites and putting them in the vaccines
- The whole QAnon conspiracy stuff they REALLY got into
- My wife and I are being controlled by the devil and now our kids are damned because we got them vaccinated, since it's "The Mark of the Beast".
My parents are estranged now. You can imagine why.
I'd probably talk to the girl and see if she holds the same beliefs. She's Christian, yes, but there are plenty of people raised in such families that use the term out of familiarity, but don't share the extreme views of their parents.
Though with that said, even if the girl isn't off the deep end, I'd understand that having her parents as potential in-laws could be a bridge too far.
I remember playing this 3 day LARP, the kind with pre-written in-depth characters and story that is played over 3 days strait in characeter, in Wierd Wild West setting, where I played a Trapper that was about to marry someone from the local village, my family was married into but my parents died shortly after.
It eventually turned out that the whole village is a cult that eats people to keep some kind of evil imprisoned, and my fiance's family is the one spiritually leading it, and I still can't forget the nights spent trying to reasonably argue and discuss with my fiance that it's definitely not ok and we should just leave.
I obviously never had to have discussions like this in real life, but it was pretty interesting how extremely futile it is. They have so many arguments you can't say anything against. Once they start with "But this is our purpose given to us by God, if we don't do this the whole world will end", or "It was God's will, you will understand soon", you really don't have much to say to that to get through.
Of course, it was just a LARP and she played her character well, but now I can pretty vividly imagine that talking to someone who's so much into anything like that is extremely difficult, to the point of being futile.
(I managed to convince her to leave, the winning argument was "Your grandmother tried to poison me, here is proof", lol).
"Listen, your mon had a heatstroke. This isn't a demonic attack. It's common knowledge that this happens when doing hard work in extreme heat. I can't be with someone who's family believes that demons are behind common medical conditions. In other words: your family is insane and I can't date you anymore. Bye"
Get on floor, walk the dinosaur
I was once invited to a pool party by a girl back when I was a freshman at college. When I got there they were baptizing people.
There was free food though so I stuck around.
Oddly, the two super churchy women I've "been with" ended up leaving the church afterwards. Maybe OP should do a little 🫰🤌🤏 to her 🍑 and see what happens.
God, emoji are so tainted. Before reading this comment, I thought it was going to be AI slop...
Tell her you're a demon sent to attack her vagina.
Fake/gay analysis: true and straight. Source: dated religious girl who's mother was a religious lunatic. Super fucking likely to happen
I just asked if she really believes in all this. Answer was not really but you know, family ties and the community is nice.
My master, Satan, says we should have premarital sex immediately
It's a win either way
Everyone is going with the satanism or whatever non-Christian antics they are coming up with.
That's too easy.
Study some Bible verses and understand the tenents of the religion. Learn enough about the family to find something you can use. Then break up with her by saying her family are heretics and state that reason. Tell her they're all going to hell and close the door tight. Never talk to her again.
You get it. Insidious "mustard seeds", if so needed. You can't always logic someone quickly, it takes a lot of time to even consider changing any core beliefs. But I really value my time. So it's either worth it, or I'm taking the path of least resistance... aka, "your family's the devil and you didn't even know. Sorry, God certainly loves YOU though. And maybe we woulda worked in a different life, but until then; bye and god bless"
I dated a religious girl for three years. Her mom was a pastor at a small church. She was a regular practicing Christian. Definitely had some habits and customs I wasn't used to. I mostly just nodded along and was polite.
Never really caused us problems long term. We ended up breaking up after our jobs pulled us in different directions. We're still good friends and we regularly keep in touch.
Someone claiming to have a GF on 4chan - especially in 2026 - is extremely sus. Sounds fake and/or gay to me. Don't take it too seriously.
Who are you quoting that phrase from?
Most are normies? I'll need some kind of source for that, my life experience says otherwise.
in the bible belt and suicide belt regions of the US you get some certified wackjobs
Some of the most certifiable radicals I've had the dubious honor of meeting were in California and NY. The center of the county has it's share, but for the most part it's just background noise. You listen to church radio because it's what's on. You celebrate Christmas because the city puts up a big tree and throws some public parties.
People can be superstitious with or without a formal religious membership. And they can be Christian outside of the red states.
Claming demonic attacks without the popes approval? Well that's sounds like a reason for a excommunication...
"I really like you, but you and your family are religiously insane so I think we should see other people. I'm gonna try to see someone with a grip on reality, and you should try to see a professional"
Fake: Anon has gf Gay: Convoluted break-up fantasy to explain why he can't get with girls integrates his actual religious trauma from his own homophobic fundy household growing up
Anon should just tell the parable of the drowning man and then just say, that's why I'm breaking up with you.
What is the parable of the drowning man?
That he’s breaking up with you.
Lol. I see what you did there. Very clever.
No I'm genuinely asking.
I looked it up.
Really Christian person refuses aid during a flood, stating that god would save them. They then die and ask god why their salvation wasn't enough to save them. God tells them that they sent the rescuers, which the drowning man turned down.
I'll add to the other reply. The moral of the story is that God helps those who helps themselves. This is why I thought you were being funny, because if you were helping yourself, then you would look it up.
Sorry for the assumption.
Literally the same interaction between religion and reality as The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down. Except without the language and cultural discontinuity.
Impossible challenge: have a greentext without it being about a 'girl'
What about a grill?
I once managed to get heatstroke in a air-conditioned car in the middle east. May not have been demonic possession, but sure as shit felt like it xD the heat down there is metal af. Ten minutes outside is life threatening. Put some things into perspective for my Scandinavian ass.
This is not unusual in my opinion. In my childhood, I attended Catholic, Baptist, and Assembly of God churches, and this would not have raised any eyebrows. Especially with Assembly of God.
If the people only knew what they are supporting with their tax dollars (in USA, churches pay no taxes)! It's obscene and frankly ridiculous. The farther you go in the church, the crazier things are.
And make no mistake, they will kill you. The best part of adulthood for me was getting out of the church, as a kid I was horrified every day with these absolute lunatics.
My sister got involved in a Pentecostal church and I became fascinated by speaking in tongues. It was such obvious bullshit, and she could never explain it ("The pastor says it's the divine spirit, bla bla bla..."). So I looked it up.
In the Bible "speaking in tongues" was like a universal translator. The Christians were preaching to a multilingual crowd. There was a mighty wind (lol) and flames appeared over the preachers' heads.
From Acts: "And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language."
But now because this is a fairy tale that didn't happen, it's morphed into gabbling nonsense that no-one understands.
My mom recently changed to a non-denominational church because the local Assembly of God (the church she raised me in) is somehow getting it wrong.
Her new pastor has a degree from Liberty University. I am intimately familiar with the teachings of the A/G. I honestly don't even want to know what the new church is telling her.
Speaking in tongues was a source of constant amusement for me, and probably the only thing I enjoyed about the church. "Shambala lala guu!"
Then, someone else used their Magic Bird powers to "translate".
Republicans claim public school teaches our kids to be atheists. That would be so based if it were true.
Children should be taught faerie tales are fiction.
Ironically, I went to Assembly of God school, which definitely impacted me and resulted in my atheism.
Also, my relatives were Baptist and totally wacko for Jerry Falwell, who founded Liberty.
They don't speak in tongues, but they do share a lot with Assembly of God, like their Apocalyptic obsession. My family was positive they were going to be swept up into Heaven by angels while the Jesus army murders everybody. Should be pretty cool.
Well … a lot Christians love to suffer. It’s rooted in the faith that life is suffering
It's not that life is suffering it's that God puts challenges in a Christian's life to test their faith, the more challenges the more holy they are. They also teach that the unholy would persecute them out of "jealousy"
It's why the Christofascists WANT to be persecuted. It validates their delusions.
No, that's Buddhism. Christians like to make other people suffer. Ideally immigrants, minorities and queers, but they will settle for anyone. Their own children usually.
Tell her because of denomination you cannot agree with her particular dogma.
