15 days agoUnfortunately I’ve heard this exact refrain from at least one small town Christian couple up here in the northeast
I get these vibes, too, from some of the increasingly trad-aestheticized Catholics I grew up with, which is actually antithetical to the actual stance of the Catholic church which is, y’know, science and God go hand in hand, evolution is real, big bang happened , etc, etc
Edit: like suddenly those Catholics are ALL ABOUT demons and learning about demons. One was trying to tell me Labubus are based on Chinese demons and I blurted out “oh you believe in their demons too? Like not just Christian demons but ones from Eastern tradition as well” dude did not understand what I was asking so I dropped it to not be too much a dick
Respectfully, that’s not always the way to change peoples minds / hearts. Most certainly not in this situation, which involves family dynamics.
I appreciate the frustration though. I get it.
