Okay, i can't even joke anymore with her about the crappy situation parts of my country are... then she starts with a lot of false moralism, asking if i don't care people are dying, and sometimes she starts with a bunch of feminist ideas that were impregnated in her mind, i don't know if she uses twitter, but i am afraid she does, and i know there are lots of crazy people there, i am just worried and i don't know what to do, i prayed for wisdom... i really don't want her to lose her essence to these ideas (she is far away from the church too, i don't even know if she's still a believer); detail: my sister is 17

I don't care for those young radicalised feminists who love gaydom, hug trees, worship environmentalism and label anyone who disagrees with them as hate speakers. Is she that bad?
On the other hand, far right wingers are so obviously mentally deranged, it's too easy to complain about them.
 
She is not that bad, even though because my mom and dad are pretty conservative, but i am afraid she's on her path to be
Sounds very normal family to me. Brothers and sisters teasing each other for different worldviews. Don't think Christians have all the answers either to be honest.

"False moralism" is easily conquered...with real moralism.
Be polite...unto death.

I'm not left wing or right wing, I am human wing.

Your responce should be to listen very carefully to what she says and when she grinds to a halt.
To ask her if you can respond?
Pick the big issue that she has raised, in your example, " don't you care that people are dying etc"
And respond by telling how you care and what acts you do and then ask her you care about this people in this situation, why do you care?
What is the reason for you to care? Please explain where you get the motivation to care for people from?

Let her answer this and talk about what ever reasons she gives for caring, you want to find out where this reason comes from.

As a Christian you care because every human being regardless of colour, race, education or wealth is made in the image of God.
You are using these arguments to show that without God there is no reason to care.
Morality is what ever society says it is.
As Dawkins says some people have had luck, life is tough.

Unless Christianity is true, but if it is true where does she stand and where do you stand in regard to Jesus and what he teaches.
Christianity means living a life radically different from just being nice.
 
She is only 17 and forming her expressions in an extreme manner by how she hears and sees things that are happening in the world. Social media brings out a certain stance in a person in how they view things through the eyes of others who intend to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society.

Try to engage with her to express her feelings with you and do not judge her, but try to talk rationally about what she believes. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to give you the words to speak to her and let the light of Christ shine through you that she will question the joy and peace you have in your life amidst that of a wicked world.
 
I don't think there is anything you can do. A lot of people have been swept into notions of false ideas whether it's through media or whatever. The drive to pull people away from God and morality is strong and a constant battle.

Definitely pray for her, that seems to be the most powerful thing you have. If she confronts you about such things you can tell her that her assumptions of you are not true, false, widely generalized, and only mere assumptions. Respond to her in truth whenever she asks and stick with it. Show that you are a believer in God in all that you do - be kind, stay in the truth, live in the truth rather. There may be one day she gets into a situation and then thinks back on it, "My sister never gave up on me or treated me as bad as the world has."

I can tell you right now that I acted pretty different when I was 17 than when I was 25.

I can see now why we don't get along. I'm a tree hugger from way back. God loves trees too. We're losing our forest which is not good thing. And I am not mentally deranged either. What happened to love your neighbor?

Olá irmão, como estais?
Eu sou de Austrália, os meus pais são Portugueses...

A tua irmã talvez esta aprendendo essas coisas de feminism com as amigas de ela na escola... Eu não sei se podes fazer alguma coise para ajudar ela... Uma ideia e para começar com aquela fala a frente dos teus pais para ver se ela responde igual e para ver o que os teus pais diz.

A minha irmã era uma boa rapariga quando ela acabou a escola com 18 anos. Mas ela foi a university e mudou para sempre.

Eu espero que você possa entender o meu Portuguese que eu não tenho a oportunidade de escrever ou ler muito... LoL
 
Well your portuguese grammar is better than mine hahahahaha (and more than half of brazil probably, we really like to mess up portuguese), i am trying to set an example by talking more about Jesus, i really think she may be thinking these things because of social media bubbles or just rebelling, or she may be trying to be accepted by her "friends", the life of a conservative teen can be pretty lonely (which is why i am standing up more to what i believe) and she is going to university next year (probably).

Ye but it took me a long time to write that, and i used a spell checker as well...:lol

My parents are from Madeira and the Portuguese people from the continent usually make fun of our accents...:yes
Brasilians are easy to understand I think... Well spoken compared to the continent who are too fast...

She might be getting ready for university by being less conservative. Im not sure what the universities are like over there but in the English speaking countries they are filled with teachers that are far left and promote rubbish like LGBT...
 
Well i think universities are the same thing all over the world, at least she wants medicine, i think doctors still believe in biology hahahahaha

Hard science subjects like medicine and engineering would be the same around the world but not the social subjects.
Do they have "gender studies" over there? They teach feminism and LGBT
