Just watch out for mirelurks and raiders...
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" 
Jesus H Christ, if you were a new member I'd think you're trolling us.
Do your parents have social contacts, friends outside their cult thing? Also, Alex Jones sells bs conspiracy equipment, how unsurprising!
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
Your parents appear to be dangerous.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
With family like that I'd go with adoption. Really, my own parents were pretty weird about religion but no conspiracy or murderous intentions - thank whatever. Must be tough for you. In the end I just pretty much drifted away from them. No big confrontation, all my attempts to let some air into their worldview were inaccessible to them. So I stopped trying and eventually found better things to do with my time.
 
I can't figure out if they know I'm an atheist or not. They know I'm at least a bit more liberal than I used to be. I critiqued their homophobia once and they see all the anti-Trump items I post on Facebook. They know I don't go to church which has been a point of contention for years. My mom regularly begs me to go to church and sends me links to local fundie groups in my town.
They don't have any real life friends anymore. They won't associate with anyone who isn't a fundie. My mom only talks to people in Anderson's Facebook group. 
Time to keep the relationship long distance or in public.
I think you should tell them you're atheist. Let a little reality into their fantasy. Mom should know that, with her belief, she's basically painting a picture of your bullet ridden body. Mental health? Do you think it's come to needing a wellness check from the local gvt support services?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
I remember one time when one of my sisters briefly dated a black guy, and my mom got very upset over this. Supposedly, my mom claimed she wasn't upset about it because she's racist -- she's not racist according to her -- she was upset because the only reason she believes my sister would date a black man was to make her (my mom) upset because my sister believes our mom is racist. I know that's sounds really confusing. I might make a diagram for those of you who can't understand her thought process. It's really fucked up.
Damn. My parents are in the deep end as well, but they are still in the shallower part of the deep end.
Sorry TEGH. |
