Telling my parents that I don't want to go to church
Ever since I was little my family has always gone to church. Now that I am a teenager and I have thought long and hard and researched about our faith... I have found that I don't believe in anything that our faith says to believe in. My parents don't know that. However I want to tell them that I don't want to go to church anymore and I have tried once to tell my dad that I think I am old enough to make my own decisions and he just shot back at me "I DON'T THINK YOU ARE"
So my question is how can I tell my parents that I don't want to go to church anymore?

Well, if you feel you don't believe in it then no one can make you believe in it. Religion is a choice, you shouldn't have to be forced into something you don't agree with. However, don't be so rushed with this. Your parents only want they think is best for you. Since they have those beliefs they would love if you shared those with them. It's hard for parents to accept a consious choice of their sons/daughters that isn't what they believe in. If you are younger and under the age of at least 18 I believe your parents do have a right to enforce rules, but there is a line where you know what you truly feel you want for youself. If you want to join a different religion suggest that to your parents, just set them down and talk about your beliefs, show them how serious and real you are about this.

Just tell them the truth in the best way you can, tell them that you dont belive in the religion and that you dont feel comfortable going. ( but "if" they say no, bring the topick up again in a few day's) i really hope this helps you! ;)

i guess it is your parents decision, because you're living with them, but you should really find a religion you like. juss go with it now & try not to disrespect them. once you get older, pick a religion you believe in & enjoy. try talking to them about it. explain how you feel & you wanna be apart a religion youre happy with.
-hope that helped!♥
