I am concerned about my sister. She responded to someone who said they didn't have any respect for martyrs with this rant.
My sister took me to my first concert, Rage Against the Machine, in 1997. I was 11. She showed me George Carlin and Bill Hicks.
Religion was never a big thing in our house. Our parents taught us to question authority, not blindly believe in any ideology, and that organized religion had a tendency towards corruption over time.
This has really only started in the last year or two. I am concerned, as my sister has three young children. She's pulled them out of school and is teaching them this. I am concerned for them. What should I do? Should I even do anything?
Make sure she's not insane. How insane is your sister, bro?

She never used to be, but now I wonder. Sadly, I live a few states away from her now.
>>17255032
You must go back
>>17255035
But what do I do?
>>17255007
That's some next level shit there mate. If you replaced the jesus' with mohameds in that text I'd say she was about three days away from alloha snackbaring a train station or something.
Is this just something she's picked up on from the internet or is she involved with an actual church of some sort?

>>17255007
What's the matter? Scared?
>>17255081
Yeah, she's gotten all of this from a church. I think she only uses the Internet for Facebook.
>>17255144
Yes. I am scared for my nieces and nephew. I am scared that she's going to become the sort of bigot she used to rail against. I am scared that I am losing my sister to blind zealotry.
>>17255149
I don't really see how she's bigoted in that post. Zealous, but not exactly bigoted.
Blind zealotry though? What if it's not blind?

The conversation continues

Sorry, messed up the last one, had to delete it.
>>17255209
I don't see what's wrong here except maybe she shouldn't have announced she forgave you since that's really stupid and implies that there should be any issue with that.
she's sworn that she's not gonna kill anyone over this, is there something wrong with having strong beliefs and feelings about something?

Fuck off reddit
>>17255209
Why are you continuing the discussion in fucking facebook?
You should take about this in private, now you're mongering people to point their fingers because "she is a zealot lol".
>>17255209
I don't see any bigotry in there OP. It sounds to me like you are the bigot for thinking less about your sister just because she's a Christian. She has a lot of zeal but that's not a bad thing, our world is filled with dumb fucks that believe only in their own persona, without any greater cause.
Also Rage Against the Machine sucks. Stop being a commie.
>>17255149
Women are followers.
They can completely change ideology because of the right charismatic character in their life, especially when they feel lost and have no other such person to guide them.
>>17255209
Looks like your sister is a retard and you're not a particularly convincing speaker.
Text usually is a poor way to communicate people who are making emotional arguments, even if you used to be close.
You should probably have tried to speak with her in person and avoid such topics until you get more familiar with her again.
But now you've banged the side of the religious looney hornets nest it'll probably be hard to go that route. You've been identified as an ideological threat and everything you do and say will now be interpreted through that lens of hostility and distrust.
