A complex issue: Whether it's appropriate for HealthTap is questionable. Could your brother have a true organic neurological or psychiatric disorder? (Possible, but not likely.) The other factor is you. You may want to seek short-term counseling exploring ways for you to accept (without agreeing with) your brother's newfound evangelical fervor with some serenity.

Think about it: If life's taught me anything, it's that relationships are more important than being right. If your family is from a faith that "hates" Christianity in any form, and your brother is not actively proselytizing you, then perhaps you can find roots of religious tolerance in your own faith. If your brother's trying to shove his new faith down your throat, be candid and talk about other stuff if you can
