I want my dad back. He became a born again Christian a few months ago. He went from a fun loving guy to a miserable old man. He gave me shit about taking my son to see Harry Potter. He said that the movie promotes satanism and withcraft. Lighten up dad, it's just a stupid movie. He has a "Purity Filter" on his computer, he shut off the cable because he thinks it's the devils work. He threw out his CD's and DVD's. Then I have to listen to my mom bitch because he gives ten percent of their income to his church. My son who's 12 doesn't want to visit my parents because my dad preaches to him constantly. I just want my old dad back, but I guess the bible took him away.

I feel for you. Its "christians" like that who make other Christians look bad.

Just tell him he's possessed by God. And that it's a bad thing.

If he wants to waste his life away letting something silly contol his life, let him. Let him have no fun if he wants. Let him be afraid to make up his own mind, if he chooses. And there is no devil, it's just a scare-tactic made up to make people behave.

Don't blame God or religion. It sounds like your dad is either afraid of his own mortality (maybe he's done some things he regrets) or he's getting senile (more likely given he's worried about the cable being Satan's work). Have your mom take 50% of their assets and put it in a separate account to protect her financial future.
