Answer 1

Why don't you just move and let him live in peace? Maybe you will too. If it is his home, then you need to conform to his standards. If not, then throw him out and develop your own "rules" for life or the lack thereof.

Chow!!

Answer 2

Well, mental, as others have asked, how old are you. That makes a big difference in the types of answers that you get. If you are a minor and your brother is your guardian, then you pretty much have to listen to him until you are not a minor anymore. However, that could cause some real conflict, as I'm sure you have already experienced. In our family we are Christians and we always expected our children to obey us even if they didn't like the rules or they must deal with the consequences. Having said that, you should know that those consequences don't mean that we ruled with an iron fist and totally disregarded our children's opinion about a matter. My girl is married now and she has told me many times that when she was at home she thought she was going to die if she had to keep following our strict rules about her dating, how long she could stay out, etc. But, she understands, since she has a child of her own now, that parents and guardians don't put restrictions on their children because they are on some power trip. They do it because they used to be children and teens themselves. They have lived longer and made mistakes that they have regretted. They are trying to save you as much hurt as possible because they love you. Perhaps your brother feels that if he doesn't keep a close eye on you and any siblings you may have then you will go down the wrong path in life. Once you are not a minor anymore, you have the right to choose if you want to make those mistakes. Even then, if he pays the bills, then you should obey him even if you aren't a minor anymore. When our daughter turned 18, legally she could stay out as long as she wanted. We relaxed the curfew a bit. We didn't really give her a time to be in, but we told her that if she constantly was coming home in the early morning hours and not doing her part of the chores in the house, then she would be free to move out. By that time, she was old enough to make up her own mind, but she also would have to live with the consequences of her actions. Some of those consequences when we are young we may have to live with the rest of our lives. I know this is long, but what I really am saying is to try to relax and maybe just talk to your brother about how you are feeling. I know that there are Christians who are so strict that they don't even allow their kids to listen to Christian rock! But if your brother is a true believer and has a good heart, he will listen. Otherwise, if you are old enough, then maybe you should move out. Hope this helped. God Bless you.

Answer 3

Well, you could severly frighten your brother by saying scary things and saying your a Satanist. :D Because I AM a Satanist everyone's frightened of me and never expects me to do anything. But, be careful, he might pour Holy Water on you in your sleep if you say your one. lol And then he might make the sign of the cross towards you every time your near him. *laughs insanely at the idea* Ah, good times... You always could go live with other family, too. :D Or friends... Just hide in their closet!

Answer 4

I kindof know how you feel. My bro is a bible thumping freak and though I do believe in God and all that crap, he always shoves it down my throat. I don't know what to tell you, cause whenever i tell him to back off and respect my beliefs, he just starts crying or something wierd like that. I think he's gay. Serio, I think he's a fag, and your bro might be one too, who knows. maybe you should move out, and if you're not 18 and up, run away. lol

Answer 5

hi, i love GOD & JESUS.
BUT....i wouldnt want to be in church 24/7.
i go to church. iam saved(no matter what any one may think.)
i love my rock-n-roll.
nirvana,stone temple pilots etc.
new stuff , old stuff.
alot of pastors and christians believe that rock music is sinful.
god has answered many of my prayers. god has been good to me.
just know that he is real.
tell your brother that you love him, but he may be pushing you away from religeion.
if it doesnt work and you are over 18. yes ...move out.
but your brother is trying to lead you right.
love him for that. he is only concerned about your soul.
just like when we were inside of our mothers womb..we were preaparing for this life. well now that we are here ..we are preparing for the next. life is full of tests. god is always watching.
i also believe in karma, so treat all people and animals well.
i believe that going to church helps u learn more about god/jesus, but alot of hypocrites attend church too.
god is everywhere. dont forget that.
tell your brother how u feel. write him a letter if u cant say it verbally.
always remember he wants whats best for you and others this is a pastors job.
but i myself couldnt be married to a preacher.
i try each day to be more like jesus, but iam not perfect. no one is. not even pastors.
but pastors have to live different than us sheep.
they have to be careful what they watch, do ,listen to.
others will crucify them if they dont.
they must set the example.
stop talking about blowing up houses.
you need to grow up some too.
god is love.
just communicate with bro, ok. best of luck and behave..ok.
ps oh about fasting....many churches fast,. mine is assembly of god. (like holiness) we fast(well they do). its supposed to be for making our bodys do what we say..its about self control i think.
its supposed to make us more spiritual.
we (my church) only do it like on fridays from sunup -sundown.
you can hurt your body if you did for too long.
but stop cursing. play nice. remember the tests. ok.(smiling)

Answer 6

Move out

Answer 7

he cant make u do anything u dont want to so do what u want. my grandfather in-law is a preacher and i go to his church every sunday. we are christian. and i have never heard of any christians fasting of any kind thats other religeons such as jewish some catholics. witch is a part of christianity. so.. do what u want to is all i can say

Answer 8

Sit down with him and tell him how you feel and why you feel that way. Try to come to an understanding. If that doesn't work, I guess you'll have to move out.

Answer 9

First off, how old are you? Either move out if you are old enough to, or put up with it if he is your legal guardian since there is nothing else you can do.

Answer 10

hmmmm breathe relax then move out
