Speaking as a Christian? Your grandmother is being insanely inappropriate and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. Your spirituality is your own and she shouldn’t be pestering you about it.
agreed. I hate it when I see this stuff, it gives us a bad name. as a Christian, all my friends are atheists or practice some form of witchcraft. I honestly couldn't care less.
This makes me glad that it’s just strangers in public (and my first grade teacher) who see the “save me” neon sign flashing on my forehead. I don’t think i could have dealt with “save me” texts too.
Like, we had a supermoon some days ago and I was just staring mesmerized the entire moonrise thinking how I'm 100% sure in ancient times, people would've seen this and decided "yep, that's God right there!" because staring at the full moon is such an enchanting experience, like a trance state. It's just so pretty.
..Then I wondered if people panicked at blood moons in ancient times.
We also know what nature is now, doesn't make it less worthy of worship 🤷🏻
Edit to add: If anything, I'd argue the big ball in the sky that illuminates the dark of night by borrowing the sun's power and commands the tides is a GREAT thing to worship!
I approve. The intricacy and elegance of nature is worthy of worship.
A random man in the sky who somehow is omnipotent and always on your personal side is just a delusion. (Thats not to diss religion, just people who willfully misinterpret their religion to suit their bigotry.)
Yeah... Christians tend to say some absolutely creepy and unhinged stuff that is to them perfectly fine in their own worldview but makes normal people who don't have that same background deeply uncomfortable. They just don't get it or care, unfortunately.
It's the ones that go on about how their loving sky daddy has a torture realm he created to torture the vast majority of human souls (anyone who isn't part of their religion and especially good at following the rules) and they're just cool with the idea of all that torture they believe is happening. That's a little unhinged but they just don't see it.
If you have asked her before to please stop, then no not overreacting. It is insane of her to keep sending this stuff. and IDK i would say "It's kind of weird and barbaric to wash yourself in someone else's blood."
Catholicism is so witchy. its all in Latin and drinking blood from special cups with robes on. lighting candles... like everything about it seems like spell casting

Pushing your religious beliefs on others rarely works in a positive way
the last line made me chuckle LOL
Isn't being covered in the blood of a dead man more akin to necromancy than Christianity? (Or whatever bastardised section she aligns with)
There's a old comedy bit by Eddie Izzard about vampirism and cannibalism right at the beginning of the religion.
It's a stupid funny bit.
Yoooo Eddie Izzard mentioned! I'll have to watch that bit again :3

Hold up! You worship plants? That feels like it needs an explanation.
But yeah, your grandma is just nuts.
I worship mother nature and see her as a goddess
if i was going to worship anything it’d definitely be mother nature, that sounds really nice
May I also humbly suggest: The Moon?

excellent suggestion! i would’ve no doubt been one of those ancient people
We know what the moon is now though. It's nothing to worship

Some indigenous peoples do too in some ways. Water is extremely sacred for us as well as the sun and the moon and the stars.
Basically everything that is land and sky around us.

I bet they hug trees and talk to their impossible whopper from Burger King. 🧃😎 -sips last drops of juice- YUUP…
Are you under the impression that your comment is funny?
I think they are lmao

Christianity would be so metal if it hadn’t hit the mainstream. Christians ruined Christianity
Covered in the blood of Jesus? Sounds like a pagan ritual to me.

Someone got butthurt and downvoted you, they should drink some wine-blood about it lol

Look she just wants you to make burnt blood sacrifices for the man who created you, is that so bad?

Old people often tend to get loopier. It's a part of aging. You can try and set boundaries like you've done but they're often immune to feedback
Nah this is just garden variety Christian dipshittery
Worship plants? You should send her ones of random religions
Kinda weird but I would just ignore it personally
This is a great opportunity to practice stone walking. It makes them so mad
As a Catholic, this is just creepy. People’s spirituality and religious beliefs are their own and she needs to lay off.
That woman is not your grandma.
No way in heck would I call her my grandma if she did this to me.
