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 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.

I’m Christian, and I suddenly had a loss of faith. I’m praying constantly and as anxious and scared that God hasn’t chosen me for this religion, even though I believe in it whole heartedly. My brain is telling me these things, and saying how I would be fit for Islam or something else, even though I am perfectly happy being a Christian. I keep getting intrusive thoughts and feelings about not believing in my religion, and whenever I confess how I do believe, my brain tells me I’m lying or I feel otherwise. It makes me feel guilty and abandoned and alone. I still read my Bible and pray CONSTANTLY. Please help (sorry if this is hard to understand I am ranting)

So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
