Demons coming down...
December 23, 2015 at 4:31 pm (This post was last modified: December 23, 2015 at 5:04 pm by Veritas.)
I hear my dad talking about this book that he's reading which discusses how demons are masquerading as extraterrestrial life who could cure cancer but the "lord/god" knows that they're secretly "demons" who are working on human reproductive parts for the ability to reproduce for the final battle. It sounds so stupid but I have to life with someone who believes in "god Angel " and subscribes to the most radical right-wing ideas. I'm a right winger though, just because I like to keep my money, etc.

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME TELL HIM WHY THIS IS BS?


PS: Thanks for welcoming me!

No. As a right winger, you just have to live with the crazy. That's your curse...

There's no such thing. You can also comfort yourself in knowing that leprechauns exist, but it's false and you're living in a delusion. Thanks for welcoming me! I've revised my view btw Tongue

As long as you are living under your Dad's roof (yes, I can almost hear you groan, I bet you've heard that phrase before) - he's paying the bills, etc., - don't challenge his beliefs.  The only thing it's going to do is make it hard to live with him.  You won't change his mind.

I don't know how to reason with crazy, Veritas, so I'm afraid I have nothing for your dad other than a suggestion that he stay away from the sauce for breakfast.

I understand that, and that's a great point. It's not like I hate him for being Christian but I know he's still my father and I love him no matter what his belief's are Shy Heart

Convince him you need to start building a bunker before it's to late. Might want to invest in protective junk covers for the family, unless the work on the reproductive parts would be a personal bonus.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
