Hi Everyone
Recently my 22 year old sister met a guy who is a member of the local church. My family and I are Atheists and my sister always said she would never go to church. So over a few months she began to go and for a few weeks I did not see her. When she came back she began to preach to all of us, she also said she could not live in a house where god was not worshiped. She prays every morning and every sunday she helps the church with some cooking and other duties. She got rid of all her friends because they are atheists to.
I became angry so I went down to the church and spoke with the pastor. It got a little heated when I told him he had brainwashed my sister. He told me that atheists go to hell and to enjoy my life on this earth because the after life for me wont be pleasant. He said I walk on the ground created by god and I needed to respect and worship him.
Anyways a long story short, I havent seen my sister for 2 months because she moved into a commune and refuses to talk with us.
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this sort of thing and any advice to get my sister back. I have seen videos of this pastors service and he shouts and music is played and puts his hand on peoples head and all sorts of things. Are people that easily fooled?
thanks!
Mike
