Help with a personal matter

RE: Help with a personal matter
So you pushed your father into Christianity, despite not believing it, and now you think he's been brainwashed?

Not trying to be offensive, as I do feel for your situation, but that seems....rather odd.

It seems to me your father is sick and the sudden religious extremism is a product of that sickness. I would suggest focusing on his health. If you get into religious discussions, be honest. But ultimately if someone is suffering from brain damage, I doubt that they can hold logical debates. If you are really concerned about his sudden religious fervor and the damage it may be causing, seek help from a psychiatrist.

Ultimately it's a tricky situation with no easy answer.
