Hello to everyone, I'm going to tell you something about my brother that makes me sick, we always used to be so close, we used to do so many things together, we would watch movies, go out, anything, he was my best friend, I had no one else in my eyes, but he's chaged so much in the past few months, He became a Christian, and now, he won't do anything with me, any topic he will lead it to the Bible, don't get me wrong, I am also a Cristian, but lately everything he says is that everything is satanic, a while ago I told him, hey let's watch this Anime, so we started watching it, Then after the firs episode, he lesft and said: It's cool, but there's something inside telling me that this is wrong... so I'm like: What? what was that for? so he can't even watch something with me anymore? because it's all satanic and evil? he no longer spends time with me, he's only reading his bible, he has abandoned his life, even me, and I'm starting to hate him so much, I shouted and told him, that I'll just find someone else to watch it with me, then i told him that this is the reason why I don't want anything to do with my family anymore, I said that I will substitute him, and my parents, I told him that they won't share my future, I told him that i no longer want to be his sister, and the I told him: I don't think watching a serie can make you go to hell, it's just anime...Then he said: I don't know how you don't see that satanic, it clearly is...
Then he told me,: It's true what the bible says, That people will hate christians for their belief....

I'm so desprete, he's my only brother...I don't have anyone else... I don't wan't things this way...

He's chaged too much, I just don't know what to do.... Am I Normal?

    This is just a phase for him. An important phase, but there's not a lot you can do. You can be distant or you can be supportive, but either way you need to recognize his feelings as being every bit as valid as yours. Don't focus too much on the religious thing; this is just a minor detail that points to something deeper. Namely, he is starting to question the value of all sorts of things. Once he renounces all the things he used to enjoy, he can start creating some new values for himself, and in due course he'll love everything that he used to love and everything will be rosy again.

    Again, the key is respect.

    Talk to him calmly, or maybe just give him his space, sometimes all they need is a period of time alone.

    It might just be a phase, like I went through. I was "High on Jesus" for a while, until I realized that there are a lot of schisms in the Christian community. Arguments over when the Rapture is to happen (before, during or after the Tribulation) has broken up churches and families! I finally came to the conclusion that when you follow the flock, you risk stepping in sh*t. (PS: I'm now happily Unitarian-Universalist.)

    i think he's the one whose not normal, not you. he's got an obsession. its healthy to have a form of spirituality and moral code in your life, but not if it takes over everything you do in a negative way.

    You sure are close to your brother. And this is a loss for you. But you are going to have to give him some space to work things out for himself.

    Perhaps its time to make, or make greater use of, more friends outside of the family so you are not quite so dependent on them emotionally.

    Sorry, he can no longer think for himself, hes brainwashed, everything has to link to the bible or its bad mentality will get to him in the end. Personaly i find church alittle redundant and boring, if god was alittle bit more fun then mybe ill go to heaven but the way it looks im going to hell, mybe god will forgive me if he is there.I should probably stop ranting. That seems to be one of my weak points. Anyway, why dont you do some bible study with him and try to see what he means that its satanic, ask him to point out a bible scripture that says that something is satanic.

    My cousin is like this. I'm an only child and she's like an older sister to me. She was raised as a Jehovah's Witness however never practiced until her bastard child was born. Now she acts like everything is evil and has "the devil in it". I was playing a computer game that had a woman holding a crystal ball and she freaked out saying I was "inviting evil in". Where we once had rigours debates about politics and music or whatever, I can now only sit while she pulls out her bible and quotes scripture that, according to her, "will guide [me]"

    There's nothing wrong with having faith but, people like my cousin and your brother are pathetic and clinging to the notion that *they* are at a constant "war" with Satan. I suggest you go out and make some friends because until he lightens up, it's going to be this way.

    Hes on a GOD high right now, kind of like a kid who buys a new toy. His eyes have been opened to a new world he never thought existed. why dont you try to do some church stuff with him. you might find that your relationship can hit an all new high with GOD in your lives. if your brother really has GOD in his heart and its not some cult thing then GOD will bring the two of you closer together. GOD would never tear the two of you apart.

    Okay I said that this is normal but only because of the fact that you arent using weed anymore. So your body is naturally going though withdraw. You have to stay strong and get through it. Eventually it will get better. My advice go talk with a professional!

    Ask your brother who's telling him who God is and what it means to be a Christian. Every preacher uses a Bible, so which one is right? They all go directly to the Bible and use the same book but there are over 20,000 different kinds of Christianity.

    Hey, get your brother these two books...

    The Hero of a 1000 Faces... http://www.amazon.com/Hero-Thousand-Faces-Bollingen/dp/1577315936/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233757932&sr=1-1

    How We Believe, Looking for God in the Age of Science...
    http://www.amazon.com/How-Believe-Search-God-Science/dp/B000M4N1QO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233757808&sr=8-2

    Actually, both of you can enjoy them.

    its completely normal to be upset when a friend changes, probably more so when its your brother, dont worry about it its probably just a phase hes going through, although if it isnt then just start hanging around with your other friends and with any luck his peculiar ways will lessen, a friend of mine decided to convert once and it lasted about 3 months then she decided that she couldnt be arsed with it, just dont provoke or question him and things will probably go back to normal relatively.
