About Religious Fanaticism And How It Affects Our Lives

The Story

I am very worried about a friend of mine. Her life is hers, I can't and I have no right to confuse her, but I care and I want to at least share my concern. We met her three years ago, when she was 29. We liked each other immediately. Coffee, a walk in the park and the second meeting we were in bed. But there was no connection. We slept three times and then it dawned on her that she still had feelings for her ex. I didn't care about love triangles, so we decided to stay just friends. And it really happened. Three years have passed, during which we write to each other from time to time, drink coffee once every few months, talk to each other. And we've only had sex once in three years, after the end of our initial adventure. She even told me at one point that she had a boyfriend. I was happy for her and supported her, but she didn't succeed with him either. However, she is a little labile emotionally and stumbles on all sorts of nonsense. At one time she was very obsessed with astrology, then with some yoga practices. And a few months ago he stumbled on Christianity. At least it is Orthodox Christianity, not an evangelical sect. Since then, he has posted 3-4 times a day on FB various pop materials - articles, quotes from the bible, videos. In 2-3 days he personally sends me some such things. I don't even read them. I personally have no opinion on religious issues, but I respect the faith of others. I don't know if there is a God, but even if there is, I am convinced that he would not rejoice at such fanaticism. We spoke with her a few days ago and she told me that she wanted to become a nun. He started telling me some nonsense about devils, demons, demons. She told me that when we had an affair with her, we were possessed by demons. The other day he wrote to me again and I allowed myself to be direct. I shared that I think she was a fanatic and that this is not normal. I told her that the girl I once liked was a perfectly normal woman, not obsessed with the devil. She got mad at me. But at least I was honest with her. There's really nothing I can do, her life is hers. As a friend, I decided to just be honest and that's it. I hope he realizes and doesn't ruin his life.
