Is it normal my mom has suddenly turned into a holy roller

I agree completely. She has to let you make up your own mind. Have you told this to her simply? That's she's pushing you away from her?

You could explain her to that, if she believes in free will, shouldn't the same be allowed in your house? If God allowed us to choose to love him or not, should you not get the same choice? I think she might know this but she's stubborn and thinks her actions alone will save you, it's not how it works.

Don't let it destroy your relationship though. You have to make some action towards resolution. If you can't talk to her, which I really think you need to do. Talk to your pastor, if he doesn't get it, you don't belong in that Church.

I am so sorry to hear your mom's gone that route. A lot of people are super mega holy rollers when they first convert, so maybe she'll calm down. If she doesn't, well...I hope you can move out soon.

Otherwise, cross your fingers and hope to develop telekinetic powers like Carrie, I guess?

Truly, I am sorry you're having to live with that. She's doing what she thinks is right for you, so try to look at it as coming from a place of love even if you find the message itself abhorrent. Oh, and get a library card if you don't already have one. Every mom is happy to hear her son or daughter wants to go to the library, and you can read Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Gormenghast trilogy or anything else that floats your inquisitive agnostic boat. :)

Good luck, and I hope she snaps out of it.

Few things can harm more your personality than parents who are religious nuts. Believe me, there are a LOT of people in your situation right now. I pity them... well, if you're a grown-up man, your mom can't force you to do anything, but I would avoid a direct confrontation. If you're minor, hold on, this will not last forever, you'll be free soon. At least you're not an agnostic/atheist being forced to attend a catholic school, that's a hard time.
Search the web for the tumblr proud-atheist, the blogger has already answered questions of people like you. You'll get useful advice there.
Good luck!

It's people like that that give Christians a bad name.
She's going so over the top, that she's probably pushing you further away from the religion.

New believers tend to do this. That does not classify them as " Holy Rollers" that is something entirely different. When an individual is motivated by their emotion they believe within themselves to the core they are doing right. Not realizing they are doing damage to themselves and those around them. I suggest you look into the denomination.of church your mother attends. This will also give you further insight on why she is doing these things. Also remember this, your mothers house your mothers rules. Untill you move out you must obey her house rules.

I have never heard this term "Holy roller". Oh the fun name they make up for religious people. My dad use to do this. Use to yell at me for watching cartoons for 10 year old. Saying they are made evil and satanic. I never watched a lot of filthy stuff I was never interested. It kind of aggravated me. I don't think he ever believed in that. I think he just wanted to feel big by making me feel like shit. However he was ok with sponge-bob which was a much younger audience.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. When you go off to uni, and she wants you for church EVERY WEEK. Make sure she can't find you, stay in a friend's room or something, then she can't bug you.

It's not bullshit, but clearly your mother is one of the few bad apples who ruin the whole cart. Don't judge people of faith based on your mothers actions, everyone's spiritual journey is imperative. Even if it's in your own time I really hope that you find Jesus :)

P.S Good luck with your mum!

it's completely normal for woman in their middle ages to do this. has any traumatic event occurred? if so that would definitely explain it! she'll grow out of it... just takes a year or so...

It sounds like your mom is just trying to do what she thinks is best for you, but in no way is it right. If she knows how you feel about religion, she shouldn't be pushing her ideas onto you. You're not pushing your philosophical ideas onto her either.
Tell you how you feel about it, at least. Don't take it too far.

Tell your mom to fuck off and stop trying to force feed religion to you... Thats what I did basically without saying fuck off..

The terminology, "holy roller" does not aptly describe any person or group of people.'Holy', is derived from the same etymological root as 'whole', meaning entire or all. This is, in turn derived from other languages, in which the word usually meant 'heathy'.
It is my belief that your mother, is in fact unhealthy, or unwell. When your mother begins into her tirade, you might want to ask her if she is feeling well. You might also suggest to her that she should seek Psychiatric help for her condition. She does not represent the views of 'all' people, nor is it healthy to do so.

From Middle English hool (“healthy, unhurt, whole”), from Old English hāl (“healthy, safe”), from Proto-Germanic *hailaz (“whole, safe, sound”) (compare Low German heel/heil, Dutch heel, German heil, Danish hel), from Proto-Indo-European *kóh₂ilus (“healthy, whole”), Welsh coel (“omen”), Breton kel (“omen, mention”), Old Prussian kails (“healthy”), Albanian gjallë (“alive, unhurt”), Old Church Slavonic цѣлъ (cělŭ, “healthy, unhurt”), Ancient Greek ὅλος (hólos, “whole”). Related to hale, health, and heal.

That would make me rather cross.

I feel for you. I made a special trip across the country with my wife to spend Mother's Day with my mother. I bought corsages and made reservations at her favorite restaurant. She insisted we all go to church that morning, and so not wanting to cause a problem I went. Much to my astonishment, at communion time, she pointed her finger at us, and ordered us to take communion. We didn't, and she was visibly upset. I bit my tongue and got through the evening, but she nearly ruined the whole trip.

Maybe let her know that a choice made under duress is no choice at all. I'd advise making a stand here. If she already knows you don't believe, then tell her that if Jesus wants you, he can give you a sign so you'll believe. He's supposed to be omnipotent, isn't he?

Maybe your mom joined a CULT!
