| How do I deal with an overly-religious parent? My mom is Christian, I recently turned agnostic, boderline atheist. I've been raised as a Christian but the ideals were just becoming too absurd for my tastes, especially since I feel followers have just sort of ruined religion for me. I've been doing a lot of deep thinking, and I've finally found ideals, and ideas that I feel comfortable with and make sense to me. I have a lot of Atheist friends and one of my close friends is a Satanist. My mom has begun to FLY OFF THE HANDLE about my own beliefs. When I told her today she said "So that's where you've been getting all these whacked out ideas from?", when I rarely even talk to him about religion. I tried to tell her I've been pondering these thoughts for a long time but she doesn't understand. Whenever I try to discuss beliefs with her, she either changes the subject or it escalates into a yelling match. My mom is also extremely hateful towards Muslims or other groups, and this is beginning to tick me off. I don't like how she is stereotyping people due to their religion or ethnicity, and I can't help but become annoyed by her hateful talk about criminals or just anybody in general, only because it's not my place for me to judge anybody or condemn them for their actions or their own personal belief. Lately, we've been having odd things happen, more so than usual, like weird noises, etc. Now my mom is beginning to indirectly blame me, suggesting I'm bringing negative energy or evil into our house. The point of my story is, how can I deal with a parent who I feel isn't letting me belief what I feel is right, and is instead trying to force her own beliefs on me? She also claims I'm doing this as a rebellion when in reality I'm not, I can't sit by any longer and just accept whatever somebody tells me anymore. Another thing which made me angered is, last year my best friend's younger brother was killed when a car hit him, my mom hardly even knew this kid, talked to him maybe three to |
| "Your Mom have Issues"
Your surely have issues. Reading your posts makes me wonder how is it living with such parents. It is not bad to be religious as long as you know what to believe and you know which are right and which are wrong. And the way she is discriminating other religious beliefs was also not good. Being religious is way different from having relationship with God and doing what are rightful. |
| "Be Free From Pretences "
Most of the time people tend to be secretive on stuffs to the extent of pretending just to protect their most kept secrets. In a family, it is not healthy to have those pretenses. If you believe in something go for it. No matter how the world would object, you have to stand on what you believe. I am sure your mother, no matter how stubborn she is with what she believes would eventually understand your situation. |
| Dealing with overly-religious parents is quite a tough job. You need patience in understanding the righteousness of your parents especially when it goes against your will. But we should also remember that what our parents do is always for our best. I'm a very religious person and so as my parents that is why I'm really not having a hard time dealing with them. I hope that to youths who's having a hard time can clear their mind and just support what their parents believe in. |
| I understand how it feels like when your parents would insist for something but yet you don't like it yourself. But then again, we have to bear in mind that parents would do anything that can destroy our future. I personally don't have any conflict with my religious parents. I think it is a good thing to develop the spiritual aspect of my life as well. It's up to a person's belief and stand. |
| "Stand For What You Believe At "
Having an affair and having a relationship, do you think during these days of modernization and overly liberated way of thinking of people, your mother would still think that you are a virgin if she is aware you are in a relationship? And besides having your first intercourse is way far from the issues of religion and what you believe at. Like what a friend would always say, If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything. Be true and and stand for what you believe at. |
