Serendipity answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 10:23 pm:
1) Sit them down in a quiet place with no distractions.

2) Tell them that as you're growing up, you are developing your own opinions about religion, and that you have decided that Christianity isn't right for you.

3) If they ask why, give them your reasons. DON'T rant or insult the religion. Don't say that anything is stupid, either. Just say, I'm having trouble understanding and believing some parts of Christianity. List a few examples, and give more if required.

4) If they tell you you're wrong or anything like that, tell them that you respect their opinion, but their opinion does not affect your beliefs.

5) Comprimise with them. If they still want you to attend church, say you'll go once a month or only on holidays. If they are stubborn and completely refuse to let you stop going to Church, praying, etc., you could ask another adult (teacher, family friend, aunt, uncle) to help you. I guarantee someone out there will understand you.

Let me know how this works out. Good luck! ♥
