Being an agnostic on the low.

[Regine Hunter]

is fukking annoying when living with overly religious parents
Left right and center I keep hearing "why haven't you done your devotional?" "Have you prayed today?" "Why didn't you go to church last sunday"


I honestly don't want to answer these questions because I know the outcome won't be good for me.
Athiest/Agnostic brehs, how did you tell your parents you didn't want to practice religion as much or at all.
Are you and your family still on good terms?

 

[Mr. Negative]

When I was grown enough to not wanna deal, they left me alone.

But No, they (family) didn't and don't respect the fact that I don't go to church. Lots of arguing, horrible fallout, lots of dirty laundry got aired out.

I didn't wanna take it there, but what do you do?

All they can do is accept it, cause I'm pretty sure they've done worse and asked for forgiveness for it than you have without having to ask for forgiveness.

coming from a family with a culture to shove christianity down the throats of their children early (usually doesn't work. Most kids i know in my position are "non-practicing" christians -- believe in God, Jesus and the whole rest but find going to church a load of bullshyt), I just want to get out of that environment and find my own truth. If i can confirm that the teachings of christianity is right for me, i'll remain in that path (and find a church of my own instead of my family's), or if i decide to follow another kind of ideology, i'll do so. once i can confirm that, then I'll break it to them that what they believe in is not what i believe in (african parents tend not to understand when their children choose not to follow them in example)

also, i defintely won't shove my religion down the throats of my future children. Being with or co-parenting with a man that's christian is not a requirement like most christian women. I'll bring them up in a way that I believe is correct morally, but always remind them that they are allowed to come to their own beliefs and if they have questions on it they can ask me without any fear of criticism or feeling that i'll love them less.

its this simple; we're all born agnostic you get taught a specific religion like anything else, in this case by shook adults

Yeah, I understand perfectly. "Raised in the Church", etc. etc....

They really don't understand that 9 times out of 10 you chase children away from Christianity simply by forcing it on them.

You should always let them know the option is there.

After all.. if God himself isn't forcing you to be a Christian, why do they feel like they have the right to force it upon you?

Parents don't understand this.

They simply see another area in which they can force another living being (their child) to do something against their will.

Everything else is sugargoated and misguided rationale.

I just hated everything about church. The getting up early on a non-school day, the church clothes, the sitting still, the smell of peppermints and old bible paper, the lady that’s faking it (can’t catch the Holy Ghost that many times), and the pastor’s sweating forehead.

I don’t think I ever believed. If there was a god he wouldn’t have made praising him so damn boring

 

[InGodWeTrust]

Agnostic here

exactly unless he lives with his parents whose forcing you to keep praising God.

its always athiest and agnostic volunteering their 2 dollar opinions no one asked what you believe in nor do they care.

claming agnostic, claim something else ricky gervais claims next week, sounds like a religion to me.

Whichever ideology u believe in, you teach it to your offsprings
That's how it works
If they decide to follow their own path later in life.. that's on them

All that let kids decide for themselves bullshyt is for the birds
What if they choose Satanism or Trehism at age 5?
