My mom told me she just want me to get an education and come to lord...
Don't tell your parents, a lot of religious motherfukkers want their kids to go to heaven and shyt more than go to Harvard.
yeah you're absolutely right.
kids going to the shyttiest schools, but christians will make sure god will get every cent they earn and will turn a blind eye to their pastors pulling up in a shinny new benz. a fukking shame.

I asked my folks questions about religion etc. I'm a PK also, and they have they're suspicions about me
But at this point they don't give a damn. I'm 22 and pretty much grown at this point

I'm Agnostic and my parents know I'm not deep into religion. However, I do believe in a God or whatnot. Just don't know what though. I just try to be a good person. So, I'm an Agnostic-Theist.

At first they were like "We're gonna be 
when you're burning in hell and we're 
in paradise. Mom's was 
of course. I don't talk about it unless they come at me with that bullshyt so they learned to miss me with that nonsense.

They didn't make a big deal out of it. How could they? My mother was raised catholic and my father was raised buddhist (Im pretty sure he believes in a higher power even though he doesn't currently practice any specific faith). If they didn't force their religion on each other, then why would they try and force it on my siblings and me.
Since there was no one definite religion in my house growing up, they allowed us to explore either Catholicism or Buddhism. What they didn't expect was for me to just dismiss all religions.
Oddly enough it took me until I was 28 to eventually start researching Buddhism, which I only started so I could have a better understanding of how to deal with stress and anxiety. The six paramitas are something that just seems to make sense to me. Mindfulness.
I still hold the belief that there is no observable evidence of a higher being, but Ive gained a new outlook on life and how to deal with whatever obstacle is placed in front of me.

OP depending on how religious your parents are it might fukk em up
If they're not constantly shoving it down your throat it might be easier just to go with the flow. They'll prob get the idea and might even ease up
If you're trynna have a talk with them on a some real talk tip that you think is for the greater good of ya'll relationship then you might encounter some pushback, but who knows they might surprise you and have a productive convo. Probably not tho based on what you said bout your parents. Either way if you go this route just be mindful about shytting on their believes and values just to try to prove a point. I mean you're an adult at the end of the day but I'm assuming you wanna maintain a relationship with your parents. It might end up not working out b/c they can't accept it, but at least it's not b/c you don't accept them and their believes.
I personally believe anything (religious wise) that makes you a better person is good . I have friends/family with various degrees of beliefs but I don't call them out unless I think it's harmful to them in some way. If they ask you then of course you're not required to lie to appease them, but also vice versa
I never really flat out told them.
When I was 18 I left for college and just stopped going to church outside of special occasions (funerals, weddings, etc.). Got invited to go occasionally but after enough excuses they eventually let it go and stopped asking me to go.

Fortunately for me my mom is the one who broke away from the church plus my dad never gave a fukk about religion to begin with so I didn't have to explain myself to my parents. As far as my grandparents go I just told 'em "look I'm not interest in all this".
I think he was. I think he was trying to say I sounded extreme or something. Idunno there were a lot of reasons I stopped talking to him. That incident was just the tipping point. Im not even anti religion even tho I feel we as a people would be better off with out it. Ive never tried to force my beliefs on no one. I actually hate dicussing religion. As far as my parents go we just dont talk about it. We good now tho.Wasn't the shoe bomber a Muslim tho
