No not at all. This isn’t normal for Christianity or non Christianity. Although the opportunitist in me is seeing a way to use this to your advantage 😈

yikes. that sounds scary?? i can totally understand why that would make you uncomfortable. it sounds like they’re both engaging in beliefs that are distancing themselves from the world and you. idk what’s normal but i can tell you that i don’t think their behavior is okay especially if it’s uncomfortable and worrying to you. i wonder if there is a person/group of people in your life that you feel like you could talk to about this. therapist comes to mind, but also like a good teacher that you connect with or another trusted person. calling you the chosen one is a little beyond the average fanaticism.

I can indeed relate to this on some level . My parents are both conservative Catholics and we def have strict rules set at home - church weekly, joining on family stuff, but def not crazy and I have my boundaries considering I am 18 . They’ve always encouraged me to become a priest , which I am opposed to only bc I want a normal life and don’t get me wrong I believe in God, just not religious the way they are . But, it does bother me the fact that they only rely on God for all problems and o can’t come to them when I’m in a mental health crisis. They’re not very open minded ; not to mention, I’m also gay which is scary for them to find out bc who knows what they’ll do.

No offense, but you parents sounds really delusional, they may go through some sort of psychosis. I would get away asap or find help for them. This is defined NOT normal.

So not normal to the point where I can’t tell if this is a troll post or not. That’s how not normal this is. Is there a chance ur parents could be in psychosis like… whaaaat (This is all in reference to them calling YOU Jesus and chosen one)

I always want to get close to God and my ocd is always related to me thinking I'm going crazy however my ocd also sticks to religion it kinda pulls me away because I'm scared that I'll go crazy if I focus too much on one thing or do too much of one thing..so I went to the dentist and I was waiting on my boyfriend when this man that was speaking about God came and he was speaking to me and he kept saying I should give my life to God and I told him I want to do it on my timing and he kept saying no and after a while he showed me something in the daily bread and he turned to another women that was a the desk of the dentist and say something along the lines of me being a dead little girl if I dnt follow the word of God or something similar 😔now this makes me scared and it puts a lot of pressure on me because now idk what to do anymore, and I'm lowkey trying to change and get closer to God in some way

This is not meant to fend anyone- rather your religious or not- somewhere in the middle-ect just expressing how I I feel.. I haven’t been to church since I was like… 13 years old… I’m now 34. I was raised Christian. My dad was the one who encouraged Christianity/church as a kid but he also is the person who sexually and verbally abused me, he also was an alcoholic and crack addict/drug addict. Not saying people with severe substance issues can’t be religious HOWEVER as a child he hurt me, over and over and over again. Once him and my mom split up I stopped going to church cuz I rebelled and felt like he only went to church to hide the truth of who he was. It’s just how i felt. I don’t know know truth and want know the truth becuase he died 2 years ago. The truth wouldn’t matter anyways. I’m also bisexual, and don’t beleive some of the (in my opinion) hateful judgmental things I see spread by certain religions, i do get religion is a spectrum tho. Long story to say, my 11 year old daughter has many friends who go to this specific christian church, and I agreeed to sign her up for a summer basketball team the church offers- only because the schedule worked for us and she knows kids in the program. She’s been asking to go to a few Sunday services in order to get to know the ppl /kids more so when she starts basketball she will know some ppl. So today, I’m going to church for the first time , I feel weird about it due to my past. I am not anti religion, I believe in being a good person and if god is real he will see that and that’s what matters. But church brings up trauma for me in ways. Anyone ever deal with this? Words of advice? I want to let my daughter choose her own path and explore religion if she chooses too so I am trying to support her, I’m just scared to go and feel judged cuz I literally have pink hair, piercings, tattoos, don’t agree w some extreme values ect. Idk compulsion a lot this am and heart is racing .

I just told my mom my religious OCD has been really really bad lately and she just told me I needed to pray because demons can actually take advantage of me. Because demons are "stress" I'm not stressed I'm hallucinating and having genuine episodes where I think God is talking to me and telling me he hates me and I feel like there is a demon ready to take me away every night. I just feel like she doesn't understand the severity of what I'm feeling right now. She says it will go away but it comes BACK and I constantly feel endangered by something I can't even see. She said it's not that she was implying that I wasn't praying enough but still it just stressed me out. I didn't want to hear "you're right it could be Satan" I wanted to hear "you're okay and nothing is trying to hurt you" I feel like I'm losing my mind and i can't do this. I can't. My religious OCD hasn't been this bad since I was 10 I don't think. All I can think about is how im going to hell and there's nothing I can do about it and that there's an entity in my body and God hates me. I just needed to hear something else but that made me freak out more and I don't know who to turn to. I feel like I can't even explain it. I don't even know if it's OCD that's how serious I'm being. It feels 100% real.
