but why?
muslims had a schism because they couldn't decide on which person should succeed muhammad.

There are are a lot of disagreements. Such as the holy trinity.

We stayed the same despite all of the splinter groups forming

I deleted the post I made before but
on my parent's nightstand they have bottles of lube, and since my mom is going through this Catholic phase, she, at some point, bought a rosary. She put the rosary right next to her bottles of lube. I think it's disgusting and irreverent, even though I am not Catholic whatsoever, that she has it less than an inch from a bottle of "Personal Lubricant".
I would probably never own lube, but if I ever did, I would keep it as far away from my icons and similar things. It makes me very upset and sometimes I almost feel hopeless about getting away from Protestants and Catholics.
It reminds me of this picture.

Matter of fact it's identical to this picture.

A good idea would be to drench their bedroom floor in the lubricant so that they slip and fall. Parents have to be held accountable if they're setting a bad example for their children.

jokes aside, I feel very afraid of disrespecting them. I don't want to seem like I'm ridiculing them or intentionally trying to embarrass them, but it's even worse to just let them do this.
I just don't know what to do. I want to do anything I can to get them to stop their Catholic phase.
One thing that does give me hope is that before this, my parents, especially my mother, were essentially atheist. They wouldn't go to church, and my mother would do occult things (one time on her youtube search history I saw "family protection spell" which makes me very scared since she's essentially inviting demons to "protect" us). It was the worst in late 2023 and early 2024, she would have violent outbursts at me and especially my father. At the time she would wail about incoherent things and the day afterward she would sleep on the couch and essentially just lay down for the whole day as if she was really tired. It was the most stressful time I have ever experienced. It was so bad that I couldn't eat or drink anything because I would get sick and throw up afterwards, and at one point I think I had a fever of some kind. I would also have horrible and delusional thoughts, mostly about killing my mother or myself (This genuinely sounds so corny).
After a while it stopped on its own around mid to late 2024. My old obsessive drawings about Soytan like the metal pipe one were actually from my angry thoughts about my mother. (If you remember jokes about me having a "gore fetish", I don't have one, I just used it to get more "infamous" or "popular" since it was the beginning of when I was a namecaca. It's not related to this.)
But near what is essentially the end of it, my dad wanted to visit an Orthodox church. About an hour or less into the service, my mom pulled us out. Later I overheard that she saw people looking at her judgingly or even laughing at us despite the fact that neither me or my father saw anyone doing that since everyone was looking forward. At the time I didn't know what to feel, and after the whole 2023-2024 era, I hated when my mom would get angry or upset, so I just forgot about Orthodox Christianity and I essentially just left it behind since I associated it with that.
Of course now I know that was really concerning and weird. But a few months ago I prayed that my mom would stop being one of the new-age people, and then around a month later, she started getting into Catholicism (Protestants did nothing for us, my mom doesn't want to go back to an Orthodox church, so Catholicism is the one she would choose). Now I am stuck with being a Catholic.
Of course, for whatever reason, this was necessary, but I think it's so frustrating that she was so gullible and stubborn as to not admit that she was being deceived when she went to the church and saw the heccin mean unwelcomingerino and unwholesome racist bigot misogynist chuddies.
And that's why I'm stuck with Catholics.
I wish I could talk to a priest or someone trustworthy where this is literally their job, but I can't, and I can either talk to my parents, which I'm afraid o doing for the fear of being seen as crazy or pushy, or post it here.

You could email the priest of the Orthodox church you attended. That's often the best way to contact them if you can't directly meet them. Back in the day, I guess people would write letters to them, so it's no different now.

I don't actually have a real email of my own except for my soysphere one.
I am very scared for my digital footprint so I don't think I would want to, but I do know that they had an email.

Can you not just make a new one for the purpose of emailing the church? It isn't like a new email is going to be connected to your past online activities unless you do something yourself to connect it to that past. When I had to have a janny email for this site, I wasn't restricted to choosing one of the emails I had already made. I just made a new one.

>Contacting an Orthodox priest with the email tied to the account where you admitted to having wet dreams about Soytan

well if i ever go back to church and i get baptized and whatnot then I'll probably confess it

 

[Swarthy]

So what's your problem with protestants?
Are they bad because some orthobro edit on xitter told you so?
You should be more careful who you name-drop.
You can't afford to make any enemies right now.

actually I don't really dislike protestants
I should've probably made a better choice of words
The only one I'm trying to get away from really is Catholics, and of course, I am very limited and restricted when it comes to that.

Why do people online post pictures of anime women wearing crosses and stuff like that? It makes me repulsed and sad more than anything else, I wouldn't really call myself a Christian anymore (because frankly I've gone too far off the deep end in fuckups to redeem myself) but still, it's honestly a worse form of of desecration than most imageboard memes when it's not trying to be.
