So my brother is in town. He is older by two years and is married with no kids. He moved from LA to Las Vegas a few years back. I used to have a lot of fun going to visit him and we used to be really close. But he has become a born again Christian. Two or three years ago he decided that he was missing something in his life so he turned to religion. Fine by me. He went to church every Sunday. Fine by me. He even talked to me a little about what he believed and stuff. Fine by me.
But he has gone way overboard. I no longer call him because every time I do he preaches to me and tells me I need Jesus. I no longer go visit him because his life is so boring now. He doesn't believe in going to the casinos anymore, doesn't believe in drinking, doesn't think a lot of the things I do are Christian so he won't do them. All he does is sit there and preach to me "the word of God." And he says that if we come to visit him that it is a requirement that we go to church.
Now, I don't care that he's religious. That's fine by me. BUT when he starts to push his religion onto me and tells me that I'm going to hell for being a witch, well, that's where I draw the line.
It sucks because I know he loves me and I know he feels this distance between us. I have never told him it is because of his religion. I feel like I'm walking on eggshells around him. I can't be myself. I don't want to tell him how I feel because that might turn into an arguement and it might severe all ties we have to each other. Not like there is much connecting us right now anyway.
Anyways, I've been feeling a little blue and its because of this.
