How to deal with an overbearing religious mother?

Talk to your sister about it. Find out if this woman is actually being pushy or if your sister doesn't mind. I personally don't like people pushing their views, but a lot of them believe they're doing good.

Spreading the word of the Lord is what they're taught to do. You don't have to be a bad person. May be your sister said something to suggest she'd be interested in christianity?

Not on purpose. If your sister doesn't like it, have HER explain to this woman she isn't interested. It has to come from her.

If it comes from you it's just 3rd party. Be there with her when she types it out or have her email it to you before she sends it. May be something along the lines of......Thank you for the kind words you've been leaving on my facebook.

I know that you mean well when you send it. I'm not a christian/religious, I don't hold the same beliefs as you. If I do choose to become christian or religious I want to make that choice on my own.

If some day down the line I want spiritual advice I know I can ask you. But I will come to you. I don't want to be rude, but the amount of bible versus on my page is too much.

I would like to ask if you could no longer post them in my facebook page/email/ whatever. I know that since you are a kind person you will respect my choice. Thank you.

Word is up however you like. I've found that being rude or making it seem like they're idiots will only get them worked up more. If you speak nice, tell them you appreciate it, but it's not needed at this time.

They usually back off. This gives them hope they got their point across and you'll contact them again one day. If she persists, then send her another message or email, that you're disappointed she hasn't respected you and your decision.

If she continues to pester you will have no choice but to cut off all contact. If she still goes on, do it. Don't monkey around.

Just tell your sister to ignor it and to block that person, and then forget it. Pushy religious zealots are everywhere.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
