Hello confusedstudent,
Good for you for taking a stand! I’m sorry to hear of what you are going through. Don’t let them push you around. Tell them that they are harassing you and that you expect them to stop and that if they don’t you will contact the police.
Fear is the only thing they have to keep you prisoner to their belief system.
As for the Armageddon threat – there are three things for sure in life: your birth, your death and change. There is nobody that escapes death – it is a part of life. Armageddon or not – everyone dies at one point or another. To be in a constant state of fearing death is wasting your precious life now – while you are living. Armageddon is man’s way of facing death en masse, together, rather than alone. There is solace in not being alone. The fear of death is so strong that they come up with myths to appease their fear. As for responsibility: the only person you are responsible for is yourself. The only person you have power over is yourself. Fear uses force to keep people controlled and love liberates and seizes one’s own power and self-worth. The love that they preach is false – you cannot be in fear and love at the same time. True love liberates the soul and brings about freedom.
I highly recommend you do some research on your own and two books which shine light on religions, control, misogyny and how patriarchy took hold on humanity:
Of Woman Born by Adrienne Rich and The Crone: Woman of Age, Wisdom, and Power by Barbara G. Walker.
These are excellent books for women to read in general so that you can understand the dynamics of what is going on around you and why you hold some of the beliefs that you do.
I wish you all the best!
Hadit
