Has fallen back into religion. And by fall, I mean did a complete 180 and has gone fundie. It is really frustrating because I know what in reality cased it.
They went through a bad divorce while at the same time suffering in short succession the death of both parents within a year and a half. Then they had an "experience", and i can only surmise it was seeing one or both of their dead parents or having the sensation of seeing or talking to them. This person cannot see that it is a combo of their mental illness combined with the PTSD of losing their parents especially.
Now while this person isn't going to go KKK or Nazi, it still is a bad psychological way of coping. It is simply that person desperate to cover the pain and looking for kindness in others. It is still a form of indoctrination and I am angry at those around this person whom I deeply care about taking advantage of their vulnerable state.
This person now does nothing but post platitudes and even 2nd Amendment memes. The worst part is I can remember this same person long ago complaining about the same people they are now emerged with. And also this person thinks I could not understand the "experience" they had. I have been through a divorce and I have also had loved ones die, most important and traumatic was watching my late mother take her last breath.
What this person does not understand is that I have had the false sensation of seeing my dead grandmother as a kid, and my dead adoptive father as a kid, even once had the false sensation of "outer body". I now know looking back that those sensations were merely my brain intensely fooling me. And back then having an isolated life on a street full of bullies, that also played into the stress that caused me to have these false sensations.
But I am really angry right now because I hate seeing religion take advantage of vulnerable people who have mental health issues that only health professionals can help. Religion only makes mental health issues worse.
