Hey, this is JD and Im in need of some advice. Well, my family, including almost all my relatives are religious; we go to church every week unless we absolutely cannot make it. But these last few years, Ive been constantly asking myself "why this", and "how come that" instead of paying attention in church, until in last 6 months or so, I decided that I no longer consider myself a Christian. However, I havent told my mom, and I still have to attend church, which is a hassle, to say the least. I have 2 options, tell my mom I dont want to be Christian anymore, but even then she may still make me go to church, or wait almost 3 years till college, but I will still have to go to church when I come back. So if any of you have been in this situtation, or have any advice for me, go crazy. |

you'll have to be a it more spacifice about your whats and whys. it is perfectly natural to question scripture and peoples interpretations of them, so dont worry on that score |

You're the only one who can anticipate your mom's reaction. If you think she would understand your decision, then do tell her right away. However, If she's not open-minded enough to tolerate your position, don't knock her out with your words, make it a step-by-step thing, hopefully she'll understand. |

What a peculiar privilege has this little agitation of the brain which we call 'thought' -Hume
Hey, thanks for all the input, and I forgot to write, but I have tried hinting at the fact that I dont believe in church, i.e., always complaining and asking why, but my mom always gets offended and Im pretty sure she just thinks I dont like church, not that I dont believe in it. But, I guess I will have to overcome my shyness and eventually come clean, although it will be incredibly awkward. |
