Over the years since my revelation that Moronism was a crock, I noticed my sister staying quiet when I told her all I had learned that was false about Mormonism.
My sis was the one who always broke the rules. She went inactive first. Griped about things members did. Hated that her ward kept trying to activate her. She had sex outside of marriage, smoked, etc. I had the feeling she didn't believe for a very long time.
Fast forward, I actually had breakfast with my sister last week. She's the narcissist I've spoken of before so we only meet twice a year on her birthday and my birthday. I asked her if she still believed in the Mormon church and she said "Yes" but she doesn't like a lot of things it does. She even appears to believe that gays should not get married but she stated that it "just shouldn't be talked about". She now attends an Evangelical church and spouts religious phrases often but I never really thought she believed any of it.
Even my 92 year old mother has seen the light. I think Mom always knew that being gay was not something to shame a person over but she never wanted to rock the boat. Now Mom says upfront that she doesn't have any problem with gay people living their lives as they choose and I think she always felt that way. She never thought living a gay lifestyle was sinning.
How odd it is to feel closer to my mother's philosophies than my sister's. We are two completely different generations but I feel closer to Mom's. I've never felt so distant from my sister now that she is Evangelical, especially since I know she's in it just for the easy praise she gets for spouting the party line . She goes all Mormony when she is around her Mormon friends as well.
I guess narcissists have no real self. They just put on the mask that gets them what they want at the time.
