Do you have a job?

~1~ Stay Calm.
~2~ Go up to your mom.
~3~Say what you said clearly last time in a not hesitating or in anger way.
~4~Be nice and all.

I don't know if this might work lol.

I've tried that.

No, I'm currently unemployed. I want a job though.
My mom and I were talking about this this morning, which lead straight to going to church....

And yes I was baptized when I was a baby. Really wish I wasn't. And yes, it is a lame excuse but she has authority over me. She will drag me to church if she has to.

i know how you feel. If your parents for example want you to be a doctor and you want to be a vet person, you should follow your own dreams, I mean, you dont have to accept a future you dont want. Soo just tell her that.

But when I need to think, I gaze at the sky.

They can accept the career thing.
Just not the 'belief' thing.

This is a toughy. Well. Go somewhere and think. Like a park or something. You might think of someway to gain your thoughts and words to say to your parents.

Wow. o.o Very stubborn. What time do you go? At the last second, start uhh buying time.

It wouldn't make a difference if I went somewhere to think.
I am already open minded and look at the big picture; I know what to say to my parents.
They just won't take it, and won't care.

Sakura this is the first time my parents want to drag me to church in like 5 years.
I'm sure we're not going tomorrow though.
But they want to start going. =/
[And dragging me by all means]

I'm 14, almost 15.

You're pretty young, but that's about the same age that this happened to me.

The basic story is, after going to Catechism for years, and hearing about things like Jonah and the whale, the parting of the seas, and all of the nonsense that goes with religion, you just get the feeling that at some point, these things just aren't making any logical sense. So, I told my parents I didn't believe in God, and they freaked out.

But the reality is, my parents are awesome. Coming from an Italian family (Italian = Catholic) it was a bit of a shock for them to find out I was an atheist. I can understand it, too. But after a few days, my parents (especially my mother, who I adore) accepted it and moved on.

I think it was when they realized I was becoming a young man, and I wasn't their little boy any more- I had independent thoughts and feelings. Now, I can have a very mature conversation with my mother about politics or religion, and she takes me seriously, and doesn't treat me like I'm a kid- because she knows I'm not.

But that's my parents- everyone's are different. My advice to you would be to just tell them outright what you believe, and if they can't accept it, that's too bad. You are a person with the freedom of religion and speech, whether your parents are going to believe it or not.

It's sad that someone can be too lazy to read.

Alright, I'll try talking to my mom about that more.
The thing that I want to avoid is the way they are going to take it.
My mom's reaction when I told her I didn't believe in god was 'O:'
And even when I tell her now she doesn't believe me. She keeps making excuses, "You only say that because you haven't gone to church," etc.
I guess I can try talking to her about it a bit more and just see what happens even though her reaction is going to kill me.
They just have that problem with accepting things like that, because my dad is a strong believe of it he just never has time to go to church. =/

It's a state of denial. My parents went through the same thing (if for a much shorter time) saying things like "You're young, you don't know any better," and the like.

Now, I'm a man- I could be a Satanist for all they care.

 

[Rockman!]

Wait, it's a Saturday today.

Don't people usually go on Sunday?

Yeah. Maybe I should do what you did.
Go to church for a little bit because my parents are going to force me either way.
I can go through that for a little more until they realize that I don't believe in it and accept it.

Rockman I never said I was going today.
They want to start going soon.

My parents aren't going to let me stay in the bathroom.
They'll knock down the door if they have to.
And I can't play 'sick' they'll need proof....

Very mature, that's a great way to show your parents that you're serious.

The key here is maturity- don't scream, don't yell, don't throw a tantrum.
