My older brother is 48 and he believes in all the most ridiculous things. He believes in all alien stories. He believes the aliens will appear to the whole world to see and Jesus will be with them. He believes Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings were written with advice from the supreme beings and are part true. He believes the crop marks are messages from the same supreme beings. He believes evil beings from other planets are here in important government offices. He believes we have to be good because the judgement day is coming. He is not, in any other way, mentally unhealthy. He just likes to live in his own world. He is selfish like that. He believes the rest of the world, including me, is just not smart enough to see the Truth. HIS TRUTH.
He thinks he is helping me when he “teaches” me about the true world.
I think he is an idiot. A mentally challenged man. Somoene who is so unaware of the world that completely denies it.
The truth is, he is not a bad person. In fact, he has been much more calm and generally contempt after he started preaching his faith.
I am a 37 years old woman. I live my life through logic, though i allow misticism to engulf me once in a while. It’s very hard for me to aknowlege that my own brother denies all logic explanations. He rather believe in any other argument that has some magic in it. I am tired of trying to explain to him that it makes he look STUPID.
I AM ASHAMED HE IS MY BROTHER –
and i’m ashamed that i feel that way. 🙁
