So, in my family, mainly everyone is Catholic.

I feel like an outsider because I just recently had an epiphany that the Christian faith, and religion in general, just isn't for me...

Well, I told my family that I still believed in God, but I didn't believe in religion because I believed in simplicity and don't really like fundamentalism.

I don't like how priests, popes, bishops, .etc speak for God. It just doesn't seem right. I also don't like it when we all come home from Church and my parents are talking about what the priest said during the homily, or something like that, but they never ever say what God said at Church.

I just feel really tied down and confused right now.

I told them about this and they totally flipped out. They gave me the whole, "While you live under this roof, you'll believe what we believe" lecture.


What should I do? I feel as though I should be given at least a little portion of freedom.

I'm just so confused right now.

You have more freedom then you think. If you believe there is a God, and you don't like how preist and popes speak to God, you could try praying to him yourself. You are very smart, figuring out what you believe for yourself, so you shouldn't feel bad. Look deeper into what you believe, read the bible, talk to God. I am a christian, but I don't believe in denomination, I believe the bible is absolute truth, and sometimes denominations, like catholics can take away truth from that, and even baptist. So just try to figure out what YOU believe, rather than what your parents say. It will get you much futher!
