NOT TO MENTION the way he was talking about medicine being witchcraft??? Like literally he was saying "they were using natural substances to try to hasten the body's natural healing... interrupting God's plan for how the human body heals.... scary stuff. that's why pharmaceutical companies can't be trusted, they're doing witchcraft"

like sorry i missed the memo but when did i get transported to medieval times 😭 literally this SAME GUY. EARLIER THAT DAY. WAS TALKING ABOUT TAKING MEDICINE FOR ACID REFLUX.

MY BROTHER IN CHRIST

YOU ARE BENEFITING FROM MEDICINE RIGHT NOW

how do you even communicate with christian conspiracy theorists without losing your mind. like genuinely i felt like i was the only sane person in the room. they just walk around without using their brains?? and then they have the gall to act like IM the one who's not thinking clearly?? like sorry honey I don't think that just hearing a word will invite demons into my soul or whatever. like genuinely how do you get to this point? i think my main issue was that i was outnumbered (literally 1 person in a group of 9) and they kept switching the goal posts every time i started digging into their idiocy. and every time i used Actual Historical Sources they would counter with some made up bullshit?? all of their arguments were 'well this SOUNDS like THIS THING' like. ok excellent argument why don't you back that up with a source.

Like this guy was ostensibly a teacher in this group!! You're throwing all this shit out at people who have been primed to listen to you and believe what you have to say!! I'm glad i was there at least, cause while I was the only one openly questioning, i don't think everyone else was buying into it (at least not as much as the guys that were already conspiracy theorists). i don't think i can go back, though. like for the sake of my sanity i don't think i can spent any more time around those people. i think they might just be lost causes. also im a woman so they won't want to listen to me either way!

conspiracy theorist: "You know that drug store down the road? It was called ABC Spirits. You know why they called it spirits?"

me, still mistakenly under the impression I'm talking to a reasonable adult: "oh i think i read about this once! it was because of the fumes the alcohol gave off while it was being made :)"

conspiracy theorist: *huffing* "well that's what they'll say it was historically, but spiritually it was because they knew that alcohol gave you access to the spirit world"

me: what

just solved an interpersonal dilemma via open and honest communication when my first instinct was avoidance and deception, i am growing as a person!!!!!

anybody else get asked “what’s wrong? you seem upset” and instead of telling the truth (not upset, literally just standing there), you cast around for an answer like “oh I think I’m just tired” or “just missing my friends” or something?

Like, it’s easier to let the other person think they know what’s going on in your head instead of trying to argue that you’re fine, since you know they won’t take your word for it and will just keep asking until they get the answer they want. So you just get ahead of it and lie at the start to avoid the fuss.

ouuuughgh my dreams are so distressing. Literally had a crisis in-dream about my memory failing. like full on, aware I’m losing time but unaware of the cause, appearing in areas with no memory of going there, losing important things, apparently doing crimes?? in-dream I couldn’t find my car, and then learned it was because I’d apparently stolen someone else’s? anyway by the time I “woke up” (didn’t actually wake up, was still dreaming), I was fully convinced there was something deeply wrong with my brain and that the dream was a memory. and then I woke up again, for real this time, and was like. what. what just happened what was that

my mom: oh I can't wait for you to get to come to church with us again :)

me, absolutely basking in the fact I haven't had to attend anything vaguely religious in several months: uh. mm-hm.

my mom: well, until you move out :(

me: haha yeah. that's too bad :)
