I am sick to death of fighting with my born again Mother. She has been lost in her little crazy world for as long as I have known her. Many of her friends from church are normal Christian people, but there are plenty of others there that are just as sick as she is. And by sick, I mean actually suffering from a mental disease. She is obsessed with buying every tape, book, christian gadget...but of course her house is ready for foreclosure and she would rather shovel money at televangelists than pay her bills. I have seen this not only in my Mother, but in other members of churches she has belonged to. And no one ever does anything about it. How can you call yourself Christians and allow this to go on in front of you? In no way am I directing this to every single human being- I'm being serious, if you had multiple members of your congregation so obsessed with Christianity that it actually broke apart their family, caused them to lose every job they ever had, took all their money, alienated them from any friendships or positive places in their life's....how could a church crack this all up to being "a truly devoted Christian woman". Jesus never wanted these things from people! Did he not want you to spend your time helping others, not feeding into an addiction?
