My parents are Catholics (not the super strict doctrine abiding kind, but Catholics none the less). I was raised in a Catholic househould and attended Catholic schools from age 5 -17. Now as an adult, I have found a different, non-Christian faith that is a fuller expression of who I am and what I believe. My parents now constantly badger me about why I don't go to church anymore (my faith doesn't regulate attendance at anything, though it does offer a community of practitioners to learn and grow with, only if you want to attend), and I've been giving them the old "Because I don't want to" answer. I want to share with them what I've found and let them know this important part of my life, but I'd put $50 on it that they wouldn't be accepting. Any suggestions?
*And please* No crazy Christian answers that if I don't do blah blah blah I'm going to hell. In case you never realized, that isn't helpful to anyone :)
