Something in my life that's been causing alot of confusion lately

[Planr]

Okay so over a month ago I met this girl in my drafting class named Chelsea. She told me one day that she liked an avatar of Captain Kirk and Bones that I was using on the class Edmodo site (facebook but for educational school use). From this I found out she was a big Star Trek fan like I was, and we became good friends. She introduced me to Doctor Who and I love the show now. Then she started Emailing me, then we started Skyping and she told me lots of things about her life and I mutually shared own life story. Then we started texting, and something just totally changed. She became very trusting of me and open, and one day she pretty much just burst into tears, telling me all the sad things in her life... the things she'd done, the friends she had lost, and how lonely and tired and sad she was. And then she said how I changed all of that, how I was special to her, even saying I was a blessing from God. She told me how strong of a christian she was, and how I was different from her other 'friends' who were mostly godless and didn't relate to her very well. She made it extremely obvious that she had a crush on me and we would always tell each other good night and good morning when we woke up.

Then the last two weeks have been very rough. She barely ever texted me anymore which came off to me as a huge surprise. When she did respond to me, she was almost always acting like she had something better to do and as if her life was so more important than everyone else's. She was angry and irritable and cold and uncaring, and put herself above everyone else seemingly. She says she's always busy and indeed she is. She is in the school band, is driving, does all the house chores, caring for her arthritic mother, working for a dance studio, writing stuff for the school newspaper, tutoring elementary school students in music, and directing a middle school band. She wakes up at 5 AM in the morning to do all this stuff. And yet she is always complaining to me about how lonely she is and how she has no social life and hardly any friends and how her boyfriend dumped her and how her best friend broke the best friend code and yada yada yada. So I advised her that maybe she should cut back on one or two of her activities to make some free time so she could go hang out and make some friends.Then suddenly she lashes out at me, saying stuff like "this is my life and don't you dare try to change it" and "I only live to follow the lord". I try to apologize but she still acts like she's the center of the universe.

Then one day during one of our fights, I finally tell her that I love her and apologized. She suddenly acts like she has no interest in me at all and friendzones me, which was the polar opposite of how she was acting prior. She'd always say how "I complete her" and I make her "Feel lonely no more" and whatnot. Then now she just goes "oh, you're just a friend." :|

But the thing that really bugs me the most is the religious stuff. She's oftentimes making tons of bible references in our conversations and going "Jesus christ is lord and I follow him" which is perfectly fine for me as a fellow Christian. But she hates Baptist churches and wants to be Catholic which has been driving me insane, since her only cited reason was "Baptist churches drive politics" and other garbage like that. She also apparently prays for over an hour each day, saying "It takes me an hour to pray for one specific thing". What? I just want to put on an 'are you serious' face because it makes no sense. It takes just two minutes to pray. The bible'd probably say that an hour is a waste of time. Even though she is a strong christian, she doesn't go to church, yet i've offered to take her and her answer's been "oh I have to take care of the house" or some other baloney. It really seems to only be because my church is a Baptist church. Pffffft.
But honestly she scares me sometimes. She tells me how at her dance studio, she and the other dancers will have fellowship and that suddenly "God invites us into worship" and to which I wasn't understanding so I ask. She replies with that she can't describe it but that "Once you are in it, you never want to leave". I have this mental image of her and the other dancers praying then falling over into a hallucinating state, as if they are really high, and it scares me half to death. She also tells me how she "gets these visions" when she is praying and it creeps me out. She says she thinks its 'visions from god' and that she says they're "Something I know is not human." Honestly it really creeps me out.

So yeah, basically there is this girl in my school who has mood swings and acted as if she had a crush on me, then she friendzones me and goes back and forth between how i'm a control freak and then how she needs me, and she does some rather scary religious stuff, all while pushing her friends away with a busy life of work yet always complaining about how she is so lonely and friendless.

If you have your own stories you'd like to share, please do.

Dispose of her.

[Planr]

Yeah I don't know how that happened. Was on my smartphone. Sorry :\

[Kalphiter]

Take her to Penn Station in Manhattan. That will put her in her place.

To begin with, you reached the "Friend zone" when you became her therapist.  She was never "in love" with you, you were support for her issues, not a love interest.

The fact that you're caught up in the fact that she wants to believe in a different FORM OF THE SAME RELIGION than you do is loving atrocious.  You're blatantly illustrating how twisted and manipulative your religious beliefs are.  Get off of your loving high horse.

But honestly she scares me sometimes. She tells me how at her dance studio, she and the other dancers will have fellowship and that suddenly "God invites us into worship" and to which I wasn't understanding so I ask. She replies with that she can't describe it but that "Once you are in it, you never want to leave". I have this mental image of her and the other dancers praying then falling over into a hallucinating state, as if they are really high, and it scares me half to death. She also tells me how she "gets these visions" when she is praying and it creeps me out. She says she thinks its 'visions from god' and that she says they're "Something I know is not human." Honestly it really creeps me out.

She's mentally ill.  I don't understand the blind assumption that all religious texts are derived from absolute fact, and in no way can be derived from mentally ill, or controling individuals.

Here's something to burst your bubble.  Stated below is absolute mathematical fact, have fun trying to refute it:

I will explain in depth as to why it's a mathematical impossibility for the God depicted in the Old or New Testament to exist.  Understand that the only form of scientific evidence used in this writing relates to modern day knowledge behind the Earth and its rotation around the Sun, a long with absolute mathematical truth which is not refutable in any format.

To begin with, any individual who considers his or her self bound by only portions of Christianity or Catholicism text contradicts the religion's preface and destroys the credibility of the belief. Under God's rule, as stated in the Bible, all of his teachings must be followed. To exclude any of the writings in the Bible disagrees with the only source for credibility in the Bible, which is that its writings are the absolute consideration of God, and, in his perfection, are also a perfect portrayal of how we should live our lives.  The religion is only credible under the circumstance that everything in these texts is completely true, and everything is accepted by the individual.

This relates directly to a second, must more skewed and avoidable point: if you do not strictly follow the Old Testament, then you have destroyed its credibility, due to the writings having to be perfect the first time.

However, the primary point, which is not based around personal circumstance, is the Bible promoting geocentrism:

"He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." (1 Chronicles 16:30)
"Thou hast fixed the earth immovable and firm ..." (Psalm 93:1)
"Thou didst fix the earth on its foundation so that it never can be shaken." (Psalm 104:5)
"...who made the earth and fashioned it, and himself fixed it fast..." (Isaiah 45:18)
There are arguments suggesting context issues with the statements listed above.  There are two major issues following this disagreement.  A: the fact that it is mentioned several times in different text, suggesting the same concept:
"He has fixed the earth firm, immovable." (Chronicles 16:30)
"He has fixed the earth firm, immovable ..." (Psalm 96:10)
B: The Bible does not provide any other text suggesting the Earth rotates in any fashion.  Oddly enough, it displays it as a rarity:
"I shall make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place." (Isa. 13:13)
This contradicts the initial argument that these statements act as metaphors, and validates that the knowledge of the Earth’s movement was unknown to the individuals at the time.  

"The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose." (Ecclesiastes 1:5)
"Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day." (Joshua 10, 12-13)
There are arguments suggesting that this, too, is subject to human misconception, and acts only as a bleak representation of God’s power.  These arguments imply that, by the view of Humans, the Sun would have stopped moving, because they did not know about the workings of the universe.  However, given the fact that the Earth is stationary according to the texts above, it is impossible for that to occur.  Not to mention that it states the Sun moves on its own will, revolving around the earth:
“Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the.” (Job 9:7)

Now, the problem here is that we know for an absolute fact that the earth is not stationary, and that it is not the center of the universe.  Under the argument that the Bible was written by several individuals under the word of god, and could've simply been misconceived by these individuals, then there is still a very blatant error to address: If there is ANY room for error in the book, then it has 0 credibility, not only in reference to my previously stated argument suggestion perfection as the only reason for credibility in the Bible, but also because the entire document can be one giant misconception.

However, aside from contradictions towards understood knowledge, there are also contradictions to its OWN texts.  In Exodus 32:27, men are encouraged by God to slay other beings:
“Then he said to them, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbor.'"” (Exodus 32:27)
The Ten Commandments, created by God, state “Thou shalt not kill.”  This is a massive contradiction which defies, once again, the perfection of God.

What I have displayed is mathematical fact and is impossible to refute.  Please understand that the intentions behind this document are to promote knowledge, not to insult, hinder or offend anyone who has faith in these texts.

Ingame, you're a lying, condescending cunt who prompts trouble as much as possible.  You blame others, and you prounce around assuming you're this great man for your faith.  In here, you boast your religion and bombard others for having started arguments.  You're such an angel, you know that?  No matter how much hypocrisy you promote, you still assume you're right.

Don't turn this thread into a religion war. Save that for your own thread please. I didn't ask for religion to be assaulted. Uncalled for.

[Kalphiter]

Lalam, did you write that?

[fred da kiko]

She doesn't like you any more and you're beating a dead horse. dump the bitch and move on.

[Lalam24]

Don't turn this thread into a religion war. Save that for your own thread please. I didn't ask for religion to be assaulted.

Only both you and your little gal pal had fun bashing each other's religions.

True, we don't need a religion stuff-storm going on here.

[hankyje]

If she is that weird and complicated than stop trying for her. She's obviously insane and there's no reason to date her as I've seen from this thread.

[Planr]

Are you SERIOUS? I wasn't doing anything for "fun" and neither was she. I didn't agree with her reasoning, and she had her own reasons as well. That's not "bashing each others religions"
