my religious upbringing was pretty lol when I look back at it

my mom's family is Catholic, and my mom believes in some higher power though she doesn't practice

my dad was methodist but he was straight science through and through and steered me towards deciding for myself

I ended up in a methodist church somehow for easter service and sunday school when I was young but pretty sure I never got the logic behind it and liked science too much so I was allowed to do what I want

<3 my family, not a thing pushed on me and everything exposed to me

My parent's still don't know I'm religious, both are fairly religious people and idk how they'd handle it.

Although I never go to church anymore except for like Christmas, they ask me to and I just tell them I don't want to most of the time.

my family trying to push christianity on me when i was like 4 and obsessed with star wars but i stop going and went through an utterly creepy childhood obsession with darth vader

dressed up as him like ten halloweens in a row probably

then i ended up at a catholic school and this weird cycle of rejecting a higher power to worship random fictional villains like Bowser, Voldemort and Darth Vader repeated itself over and over until i decided to convert to pagan mysticism a few days ago

i <3 my family now, i always felt like they were conspiring against me behind my back until i realized i was the one causing all the trouble because i still had growing up to do

so yeah Jason family and friends are here to annoy the fucking shit out of you over everything you do wrong until you finally accept it

i was raised christian and given the choice whether or not i wanted to live that lifestyle

i chose it, it's p cool and gives you the warm fuzzlies

i was baptized catholic because my grandma is pretty religious, but i grew up with my mom and shes pretty much a straight-up atheist

we went to a quaker church sometimes when i was growing up, but that's just cuz my mom is really fucking liberal and it was for the community

It's always awkward when my parents want to talk about religious stuff like how Mormons are wrong or something and I just kinda sit there and say nothing while they'll be talking at me like I'm a big important part of the conversation. I get the impression they never really lived a very exciting life and were just kinda happy to get married young and live in small towns their whole lives.

They're very nice and caring people and non-judging compared to most Christians but they're obviously very sure and set in their life philosophy and not keen on opening up to other points of view.

i remember going to church like twice and nobody in my family liked it

i smelled a church and it fucking sucked

this is my parents down to a tee

as a result i either don't talk to them or if i do i blatantly troll the piss out of them

for example my mom said earlier that she watched an episode of Lost and it was boring so I told her it's because she doesn't comprehend the infinite significance of it

in England so much Anglican church stuff is thrown on you in school and everyone is just lol that's dumb

one time my mom was watchin tv and there was some ad for a show about a kid pretending to be a girl on second life and my mom was like y would that guy wanna be a 14 year old girl and i was like oh probably wont say anything about that ever

lol

My parents are the same way, theyre p cool about it

told my mom i didn't believe in jesus and she was cool with it

won't ever tell my dad

There's a lot my parents don't really know about me I guess, they don't really know much about my general outlook on life and religion or even a good deal of my political beliefs. It kinda sucks because I feel like I have to keep things from them about myself in order to keep their trust, I'm just kinda trying to let them know things slowly without scaring them too much.

The religion thing will probably wait until I'm out of school.

yeah my parents pretty much know nothing about me my dad thinks i hide stuff from him or something

my mom correctly assumes I'm a replica of my dad so that works for me

pretty sure my dad trolled religion for 20+ years

My parents just make everything awkward when I want to tell them something, like about a girl or anything, they're way too nosy and I'm a really private person and they know this yet still push me about certain things and it really irritates me.

my dad thinks im weird and likes to point it out

Nick I need to have your father post on here one night

i dont c whats so funny about him

i always trolled my dad because he was a pothead and tripper when he was my age and then instantly became a responsible adult when he married my mom

My parents have always told me they lived a drug free and both waited til marriage for sex, I can't help but think most of that stuff they tell me is total bullshit, or it is and they've just had really boring and uneventful lives.

theyre def lying

ive had a lot of conflict with my parents over various things

atheism
sexuality
drugs

ive broken their spirit on the first two but they still maintain their rigid stance on drugs

my parents never cared about the fact that i have sex and do drugs , more so the fact that i do these things in a way that attracts attention and gets me caught every time

Yeah, those are the 3 main things where me and my parents both have really different views and I'm not really sure how to approach it, I think that sexuality would be the easiest because unless they're really ignorant they should be aware that I'm not a virgin and I have sex.

my parent$ know i'm an athei$t i tol them when i wa$ like 15

they know i u$e to mainline heroin too

just wait until your financially independent and approach it like two adults

"i know we have different ideas but id like to maintain a relationship"
etc

unless theyre like fundamentalist baptists then any conflict will pass

but id go easy on drugs, thats a really strong bias in a lot of ppl
