Hi ladies I've been questioning my face of late. I live with some christian people and their doing my head in with their hypocrisy. Because of this , when there giving me a hard time I question how can these people represent God, when they have no qualms about oppressing an outsider. They are my siblings but we do not get on, and one of them is soo dogmatic and controlling that its amazing...you can hardly go to the toilet without her listening at the door, my mother encourages it... as they have alot of friends and alot of people pander to them...and she wants to be in their good books ( but I've had it up to here).
Over the week end I was a victim of theif and have not been able to do christmas cleaning because of this, (making police reports etc) They are quite big so I expected them to clean the house on their own. They have barely done a thing but watched me almost pull my hair out on the phone trying to find my passport and track every thing else ( yes I've been a victim of passport theif) and instead of support, all I have received is abuse and frosty glares.
I have problems with them all year, due to them thinking that they are better than other people, and treating people like crap just to make themselves feel better. One of them told me yesterday than she basically knows that I am treated like an outsider and encourages it to be that way
To further expose the problem, I went out and came back and one of them had been in my room, searching and rearranging things now, I'm a big woman and these girls at this point were treading on my last nerve.
I try to show the patience of the saint, and not moan about Christians online but felt I needed to talk about things with my online fam. I've been stressed of late... very...
Also another thing that confuses me about them is they are very very very greedy I mean they do not share food, and as a non greedy person who use to share with them when they were younger, I cannot understand this... yet at Church they are like God's superstars, saving the poor and singing in the choir.
If I say anything they distort things so it's like I have no voice...
What do you think?

Well I'm not a Christian I am Muslim, but don't most religions tell you not judge others? I absolutely despise these fake religious people, their hypocrisy makes me sick to the stomach.
I know people that are always saying 'God this and God that' but their actions do not match the prophesy that comes out of their mouth.
I don't know to suggest really?confused3
Just approach them differently to how they approach you, approach them with love. Show them how real true people behave-people with a bit of backbone and integrity. They obviously have some kind of issue with you, but do not let it get to you, just carry on being a good person, because how you treat others comes back to you-trust me.

That's true lilthuggery, I'm glad that it's not just Christians that carry on in this way, cos they were wearing on my last nerve. over the holidays.
I will be taking alot of deep breaths because I have almost suorted out my passport and credit card issues plus 3 more days to go by until the holidays are over, (more or less).

I am a christian myself, and my advice is to cuss them out and deal with them.
Many of these christians who over preach are some of the most deceitful. Rememeber just because someone claims to be a christian doesn't mean they actually are. Judge them by their actions.

Them kinda people are what stopped me from becoming a christian in the first place, butI said I can't let the actions of other people stop me from getting close to my God, especially when my God has been good to me. Truss me when I say God will deal with those people, my bishop is forever talking about hypocrites in church and they will be weeded out cos they can't keep up the pretence for too long. Whilst I don't claim to be a perfect christian (ain't no such thing) I'd never treat anyone like that. I'd say to keep your contact with them to a minimum, just carrying on doing what ur doing, stay positive and u will attract good positive people. Not all christians are bad believe me.
