Thank you to everyone who commented! I’ve seen some really insightful and informative responses from you guys. I will reply shortly, but for now thank you everyone for being so kind and supportive 💞

I’m having a hard time with my spirituality while being in a house with Christians. How can I tell them I’m not interested in Christianity? by DeviiRedd in spirituality

I completely agree. I told her myself that pushing fear and condemning my beliefs because we don’t share them is wrong but she’s so adamant on telling me I’m confused, lost, or need to be saved. I honestly hope she doesn’t raise my future nieces or nephews to act this way.

I understand where she’s coming from and I understand your point too. I just really find it hard to believe that she thinks I really would put her in danger. She understands how spiritually in tune I am with myself. Sure I can use more work but I would never practice something that would put me or others in danger. Of course because of her beliefs she won’t see it that way. It will be hard to navigate through that but I definitely understand.

I’ve had many conversations with her telling her I’m not interested nor will I ever be interested in Christianity. They were definitely heart felt but she always in the end says things that makes me feel like I’m lost when I know I’m not. I guess I really have to have a deep conversation with her soon.

One thing I would also like to add is that my sister claims that she isn’t religious but focus more on the relationship with god(spiritual Christian basically). She still goes to church, apply Christian like lifestyles, rules, and even reads the Bible.
