Religious family, but i hate it, iin?

You have to tell them the truth, but in a way that they can accept it.

Tell them that you do not agree with the Roman Chaotic curch and want to become jewish. Tell them that you are also gay and have a romance with the singer of a death metal band since the first time you consumed crack cocaine.

When your mom regain conscious and your dads blood pressure normalised just tell them: "hey guys! Just kidding. I am an atheist, but could be worse isnt it?"

become great like jesus or krishna or buddha and create your own new bible, kuran, testament or yournamement or whatever. by the way i dont blame religion but i doubt the religious leaders. jesus or buddha or whomever. i believe they were more incomplete than us. they neglected negativity. they neglected the other side of reality. for example look at buddha. he was completely after peace. i know every animal wants peace. but do you think negativities can be avoided? not really in my opinion. what if a tiger came visiting when mahatma buddha was strolling by a river bank? how would he have defended. he would have been a complete weakling. i know he was the greatest in peace and meditation and all but do you think he was complete? do you think he went to heaven? did jesus? did krishna? no one did. they were good in peace and bringing the best of happiness. scientists are good in knowlegdge, hitler was good in destruction, mussollinni was too. the world is like that. there is negativity and positivity. survivors are going to survive and others not.so why bother? you have your own contributions even if not as great as them. and i think scientists can actually be called meditators and saints. they are doing the same thing as saints. No??????????? they too are concentrating and focusing and putting their energy to a spicic thing. the difference is that saints listened to intuituions, instincts, emotions, fears, etc. scientists listen to knowledge, experiments, questioning, observations, judgements, facts. so i guess scientists are new age gods. what say???????????
no criticism. just an opinion please.

You're an abomination of the lord and Jesus Christ our savior! Bastard.

normal...by the way you are going to hell:)

I'm proud of you.

:D yay im an atheist, but my family believes in god but tries to force me to christianity. Some people just look down on us buddy, if I were you I wouldn't give a shit lol one time I got pissed that a little girl said that god made words I almost cussed her out because she wouldn't listen to reason. Sometimes people are retarded about religion, I honestly don't care what you believe in people, your choice. But if I hear ONE more thing about gay people being abominations I will maul a gopher

Well me personally, have a little believe in God. My family are just as a God fearing people as your family, but their baptist. Like you said, you go along with it so than, go long, be whatever religious you want to be. Can't nobody answer to that but you when your day comes for judgement.

and one more thing to consider. dont get confused with knowledge and beliefs. they need to complement each other. but they dont have to be with each other. lol. just understood this thing recently. cant say much. sorry. lol. just try giving it your own thoughts. especially religion is a place where knowledge and belief conflict. and one thing is---dont follow your friends either. just follow yourself. dont just decide on youthful instincts. otherwise it becomes horribly confusing later. trust me. ha ha ha. i could be a true saint preaching this world. lol. actually i'm going through a confusing experience myseslf. but got lotsa answers. i have a researching mind. dont mind. just a sicere experienced advice.

believe in your own beliefs. it doesnt mean that you have to follow them because they are your parents. but restpect their beliefs. other religious people' beliefs also. they have their own beliefs like you. they had their own environments. the world has become more of creative people. and you and i are included in it. be proud. dont regret. there is no time for regrets. religion too would never have emerged without this attitude. they too had oppositions. the only thing that helps them is logic. religion has become a logic. and every religion stemmed up from creativity. what say??????? lol. dont worry atheism is going to mix into religion soon enough. they are restraining at the best. atheism will soon follow. it always happens. always remember that any new great idea will surely have a great opposition. otherwise it is not a great idea at all. ha ha. try talking with your parents with respect. might me they would understand??????? many parents do. they respect their children's belief. and some parents are also broad minded.
you wouldnt know if you never tried. but be careful if they are true orthodox. they'll wont listen. they will take it as a sin. almost like my elder cousin sister. she never listens even if we speak the truth. she says earth was built in seven days. lol. i'm fed up and now i dont argue anymore. there is no point arguing with them. they will never listen. actually they dont even want to listen. just dont take it seriously and make a humour out of it. thats the best. thats more worthy than any religion or atheism. religion came from fears and atheism came from knowledge. just mind game. religion is strong because of emotions and the lack of scientific proofs. and atheism has strength in bein real but with lack of complete proof. we are in a stuck up situation. now i wish i was a bab. wwwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh god wwwaaa. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh scientists. waaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh me. waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. its better to be a baby. no thoughts. just instincts. waaaaaaahhhhh. god make me a baby...waaaahhhhhh....
by the way i've been religious and i've been an atheist. i went through lots of confusions because of changing. so dont change for your parents. just follow your beliefs. you are not made up of your parents. you are made up of yourself. your beliefs are you. your parents beliefs are them and they are'nt you. learn from them. dont follow them.

Your dad's Church Of England but you're all Catholic? Wha?

I know exactly how u feel, I have two uncles that are pastors and all of my family from my mom and dads side are really religious. Like you, I also started developing my own beliefs. I avoid confrontation with them because I know that they wouldn't back down. I try to respect their beliefs but they don't do the same for me..

you should respect them but they should too...

You have your beliefs. Your family have their beliefs. The best thing you can do is to respect each other's way of thinking and not try to demean each other.

If you think something, it doesn't make it true. The same is true of your family.
