Anyone else have a relative suddenly become religious?

Not legitimately, in name only. My mother is going through this, she went hardcore into Christianity, mentally erased her past, and likes to feel superior. Before everyone flames this, I have no problem with Christians, most are decent people. But my mother is no Christian. If anything, this is more like spiritual narcissism. Same as someone that buys a tesla just to say they are environmentally friendly, but still throws garbage onto the highway.

Sure, she cheated, lied, stole, manipulated, and has been gaming the system for years. But I guess that the state reducing welfare/food stamp benefits awakened something inside of her. Or maybe she was hoping that she could rope in a church guy with money. Who knows.

I would point out that people become Christians because they realise they are sinners and need forgiveness not because they are good people. Sounds as if your mum sure needed lotsa forgiveness - but then we all do.

@Mathers Probably, but if I've learned anything about her, she's after the title of "Christian" rather than being one.

Give it time. She’s a learner. All Christians are learners. They are Christians because they are not perfect.@Magnolia21
