How do you deal with a religious family?

[Elskidor]

They are all self proclaimed Catholics that say one prayer a year at Easter, that they all loathe, and are drug addicts, thieves and hypocrites.

They're no more hypocritical than atheist drug-addict thieves. It's a shame that your in-laws suffer those problems.

Yeah I wouldn't mind my mother-in-law spending a year in rehab, and my sister-in-law repaying the four thousand dollars she stole from us, but people that don't want to change aren't going to. I use to have pity, but there is a time to draw the line. My family was always quick to push me away and show me tough love every time I went into a year long drinking binge and continued to hurt them. With her family though. .. Well, they believe family is forever and you can shit on them all you want without repercussions. I just can't fly like that anymore, and wouldn't expect to be forgiven if it was me.

But yeah, anyone, regardless of their beliefs, can act that way. I just find out annoying from those who claim to be so much better because they think they are fine Catholic people, and are given a pass 'cause of Jesus.
