I hate religious men

Last July, a guy reached out to me on here because he was going through a bad breakup (his fiancée left him). We are both Christians, so he was seeking out likeminded people to do Bible studies with, support him through his breakup etc. I didn’t mind because I know what it is like to go through something hard and go through it alone. So, we exchanged numbers after about a week of chatting on here and began calling. Like I said, he wanted to have Bible studies with someone.

These Bible study calls turned into; daily 6 hour phone calls, reading the same scriptures that he wanted to read, him reading to me sermons he had wrote for whatever reason and praying for his ex fiancée for 30-45 minutes. I got exhausted. I was going through a Crohn’s disease flare up and needed someone to shoulder some of my burden too by allowing me to talk about it and all he offered was prayer. Some days when I would say “hey, I am really tired. I am going to go to sleep.” I was met with “hold on, let me just read to you as you fall asleep or I’ll pray for your Crohn’s.”

Sometimes he would ask me to read certain scriptures to him and he would often mute himself and to this day, I still don’t know why, but my therapist is convinced he has a reading kink and got off to us reading religious text together. He would never tell me. But it’s odd to me. Or he would speak in tongues and ask me to read after he was done.

After about 5 months, I couldn’t do this anymore. So, we started calling less frequently and for less amount of time. But in December, I remember telling him that were things I needed to get off my chest. Anytime I asked to talk to him (because I was exhausted), I was ignored and dismissed and met with another text of a sermon or weird illuminati looking video he found. Eventually, I gave up trying to talk.

Recently, (a whole year later), he calls me telling me he doesn’t understand the meaning of salvation anymore. So, there I am again, pouring from an empty cup and I decided to tell him interjecting that I wanted to learn Spanish and I wanted his help practicing. I was told “earthly languages are fleeting and receiving the gift of tongues would suffice my desire for learning anything outside of the Bible.” After that, I got pissed off.

But I still spent the entire month sending him resources to help him with his new religious problem this week.

Then after a month of being ghosted, I got a text saying that I was a stumbling block for him and it was enticing him to sin, so he no longer wanted to be friends. Then I was blamed for having a heart issue and we were unequally yoked as friends.

I have had it. I don’t even know what this guy looks like because he told me that we would see each other in heaven and he didnt take selfies. But now, I want to know what the fuck he looks like because I’ve had everything sucked out of me and I’m trying not to blow up on him.
