If the fallowing offends you I dont care.
About a year ago I came out to my parents that I was an Atheist. Well they are young earth creationists(which means they take everything in the bible literaly.) so they did not take to kindly to it. They made fun of me for not beliveing in there god and the fact that they are so positive that I'll regret it when I find out I'll be wrong. Well I shook it off I'm very strong with my belifs and at another time after I let things cool down I asked them if it was necisary that I go to church. The gave me no other reasoning other than yes because thats what our family dose. So ive put up with it for along time and I don't think I can any more. All I do at their church is sit there and stare off into space. Its truly a waste of time for me. I know the religion is not for me ive read the whole bible 4 times. More than most believers and I cannot stand for what they belive in. Dose any one know any reason
that my parents would be like this and only give me such a bland reason for making me go?
Any number of reasons. Maybe they have a reputation to uphold. Maybe they think that if they force it upon you, you'll change your mind. Perhaps it's due to belief, as the bible does mention spreading the faith. At any rate, there's absolutely nothing you can do. As long as you live under their roof, you have to attend. I suggest moving out at 18. I say this because I was in the exact same position. My mother is episcopalian and forced me to attend until age 18. I consider myself agnostic since well before that.

Thanks it makes me less frustrated to know that other people had to go through the same thing.
