if not does it cause any problems
2006-07-30 07:48:13 · update #1
My mom and I both joined the Mormon faith as adults. My son was brought up in that faith also but his wife and children are not of any religion. My sister and brother are always changing their Protestant faith from one to another and I can't keep up with the changes. My dad has no religion but is a good and loving person who always let us go to church when we were growing up. The good part is we all believe in God and Jesus, even my dad even though he won't go to church.

No. My husband and my religion is Pentecostal. Our children (5) were raised in that religion from beginning. When they reached their teens they could examine other religions and make their choice. Now 1 is Methodist, 2 Pentecostal, 1 non-denominational, and 1 is Jehovah. They all believe in GOD and live respectable lives. We respect each others religion and see that most religions have the basic main fundamentals. We do not have problems with this. We all realize that everybody has the right to choose their religion and never has anyone tried to push their religious beliefs on to someone else. And being Christian, I truly feel that as long as you have faith in GOD and conduct your life as best as possible how you worship is your own business. And for religions that have a "different God" it is not my place to judge

Well, I became Christian in high school and then my parents became Christian a few years ago. My brother is atheist/Buddhist (the black sheep...baaaa...just kidding, I love my brother). It causes a problem between him and my mother-but there are other factors besides just religion...there was a distance before the folks became Christian.
My husband is Christian and his folks are Christian. His mom grew up Irish Catholic and my hubby and I take issue with some of the Catholic traditions and if we don't tread carefully, it could cause some tension-but it really hasn't.
We are all non-denominational...well, my husband and I are whatever-we move around a lot so it just depends on what church we end up at. Our last church was southern Baptist.

Yes my family has many different beliefs. My mom is a Christian. My father is a theist. My sister is an Athiest along with my brother. I am an Occultist.
This makes for a lot of trouble during family get togethers. My faith is the least accepted, often everyone will gang up against me. The athiests refering to me as not that intellegant. The christians explaining hell. The Theists kind of leave me alone. They occasionally ask why I bother with a religious system. It will get violent if I do not Cabosh it real quick.

Nope, and it doesn't cause any problems - we may believe differently, but we respect each other enough that it's not an issue. We do have some very interesting discussions, though. The difference is, we're talking about what WE believe, not telling others what THEY should believe.
Mom - Methodist
Brother 1 - Raised Presbyterian, married to Born Again Christian
Brother 2 - Raised Presbyterian, married to Lutheran
Me - Raised Presbyterian, now Pagan, married to Agnostic

Yes... Complete insanity! Does that count as a group or organization that could be considered a religion? Must be, as it is a generational, assumptive, taken on blind faith (usually to a detrimental and negative end.) collective means to an end that adds up to nothing but an opinion in the end anyway that everyone argues and denies and lives up to gloriously!
YUP! Sounds like religion to me?
With a total lack of organized religion doctrine and or creed. We are all rouges, upstarts and effectuated freak children.
personally... I believe in the necessity of religion but in the sense that it all should be something to experience and then finally evolve out from under. Dogma sucks!
My Dad believes he is "Saved." and has called himself both Catholic and born again christian but he is going to the bad section of heaven far away from the rest of us if I have any say in it at all? He is King crazy!

Nope. My parents are Christians, my brother is a Buddhist, and my sister and I have deemed ourselves 'spiritual'. We believe that there are many religions with answers that make sense and cannot choose just one. We both believe that there is only one God, but we also see the value in some of the eastern religions as well. My family is very open and we don't have any problems in terms of us having different beliefs.

No, and it has caused problems for both sides of my family. We are all very passive aggressive, though, so these problems are usually ignored. In the middle of all this is my immediate family, who are all very open minded and accepting of others no matter what their spiritual calling. My father's Christian family has little to no respect for my non-religious mother and her family, but the divorce of my parents when I was eight teen took care of that. It wasn't until my father died, that I truely saw this about my dad's family and though I accept them as who they are, I still have trouble understanding them and their faith in god.
I have no religion - i belong to god. god created me and i am here because of god and i see evidence of it every day. i do not need religion because i know belong to god.
My dad's family will never understand this and that is why I am not with them at this very moment.

No. I am an atheist and my family is christian of different denominations. My husband is Anglican, my mother is Baptist, my father Methodist, my brother and his family Presbyterian, my aunts/uncles/cousins are Congregationalists, Mormons, Roman Catholics, Episcopalians & Lutherans.
It doesn't cause any problems at all. We all treat each other with love and respect and personal belief systems do not come into it.

I have no idea of my family's religious beliefs. I am the only one of my sisters and brother that attends church on a regular basis. There is way too much conflict already in my family. Religion never gets a chance.

My whole family is Christian of some sort.
My dad is Methodist and my mom is Catholic.
I believe and am more faithful to the Catholic religion, so therefore I do the Catholic thing.
The only difference is that my dad doesn't attend church with us and he doesn't say the Catholic prayer at the table.
My family isn't all that religious anyway, so it doesn't really affect us.
