Mormon or as they like to be called Saints nowadays. No alcohol. Just a Mormon brother at my Mothers house and endless shit bought for them that I skipped last year but will go this year.
My uncle is Denver meeting up with my mom and eating out and he just turns to his wife and says, can we just get this over with. Mormons are so much like Muslims. They expect everyone to be like them and that self righteousness. SUCH DISRECPECT TO OUR HOLINESS! For ordering a beer or wine. Fuck that.
Hardest part is when one has taken enough psychedelics and it is impossible to not see through the phonies, fake grins, and just swarmy bullshit. And endless superiority and judgements and condemnation that one can actually feel because of a religious choice, this is really going to suck.
Anyone relate?

Not quite that extent or reasons, but yes. It only takes me a few hours when I go back home to remember why I left. It is so hard to see parents that inspired me to be open minded and understanding when I was young acting like self righteous closed minded simpletons. I love my sister, but she had her first kid young and my parents have helped support her and them ever since, acting like she has nothing and no one helps her and such. I love them and learned so incredibly much from them. My dad taught me to weld when I was 8 years old. I was learning to wire a wall outlet while still in diapers (mom has a pic of it somewhere). I read medical and hazmat books out of curiosity when I was a kid and all of those things made me who I am and wouldn't be me if not for then. .....but damn they frustrate and exhaust me.
Honestly though, the worst part. being told that I don't come visit enough, and need to stay in contact more, I need to make time to see them, and in the ten years since I moved away from that town, my dad has visited me twice and no other family member has come to visit me. I mean, it LITERALLY is a two way street.

Being religious myself I never understood the need to police other peoples behaviors.
Unless its in your own house, your personal life choices should not have any affect on me. One of the dumbest things about any western religion.

I turn in a real asshole when Im drunk. every time i ever been arrested i have been drunk except for the times i was arrested for marijuana. accept for the time i did a leaving the scene of accident but for a long time I was really angry at people who got angry at me when i was drunk, but eventually i realized they only got angry at me because i was such a asshole when drunk. I still hate them ofcourse because they stopped talking to me but i understand it better now and dont drink anymore
