Fear not my little friend . You have shown great respect to god . As christians , we are taught to honor thy father and thy mother but we are also taught that ye shall answer to no law save that of the lord , God . Your piticular situation seems abnormal in as much as , a ( supposed ) christian mother living the christian faith and trying to turn her child to the teachings of Mohamad and the quaran . I am no muslin but I'm relatively sure that cursing is forbidden and yet you curse . That may very well have been out of frustration from your delima but perhaps a humble prayer to God for forgiveness will ease your pain . It is always difficult when living in two worlds with two totally opposite beliefs in a devine creation and so I wonder , have you asked your mother why she so blatantly disrespects her God ? Also , does your mother realize that to blaspheme the name of God is the only unforgivable sin ? Next , I suppose it is important to understand why it is that your father is lacking in any entheusiasm for his religious beliefs . Is he suffering from the effects of our current global problems ? The only person in your family that is finding favor in the eyes of God .... Is you . I suggest you pray to God for understanding. Admit that you have sinned and plead for forgiveness that these sins may be responsible for your current situation,. Seek from God , the wisdom to worship him without disrespecting your biological parents . Most importantly , give praise and thanks to god for all of your worldly blessings ... name them all if you'd like . There is no time limit on prayers as long as you are willing to speak to God from your heart and with all of your soul . Remember that God knows all and has already written the outcome of this current problem of yours and so to be dishonest would not be of any help . Your mother should renew her faith by repenting and remembering the teachings of Christ Jesus and that his suffering was so that she will no longer suffer . Ask her to attend church services with you and pray together for devine intervention to stop to movement of satan in your lives . I have been praying for you both as I answered your question and I will continue to pray for an end to your suffering . It is difficult for me to address your fathers pain as I am not familiar with the muslim faith . I will suggest that if the problems of this world are responsible for his lack of faith then he too should pray and ask for strength and guidance . You can deliver this message to him from me : Peace be with you my brother . The troubles of this world have been brought about by evil people and with thanks to God , the terror regime of George Bush and son's are about over . I pray that your family hasn't been affected by the deeds of this political maniac but if so then I pray that you will not fault all Americans . His trickery and manipulation have hopefully been exposed and will not be repeated with future presidencies . I too , pray for these men because their evil ways are but misguided attempts at becomming powerful though they have forgotten that there is no power save that of our God and their judgement will be swift and very unpleasant because of the treatment of mankind. Peace and harmony to you sir. And finally , if you have found any of this advice helpful to you then it is the will of God in answering your prayers with my words and feel free to e-mail me directly for a chat . God bless and my prayers are with you all .

Three religions honor the God of Abraham. Christianity, Islam and Judaism. The people who follow each of these religions each have different ways of showing their devotion to God. The religions fight with one another, as though they each had a different God. Their names and descriptions of God differ, but it is the same God that they worship. The important thing is not the religion, which is made by men. The important thing is God. It doesn't matter to God if you call him Allah or Jehovah or Yawa. Each religion claims to be the only way to God. But they all lead to the same God. Don't worry so much about the religion as about being in touch with God.
You have an opportunity that most people will never have: to see God through the traditions of two different cultures. This may be God's special gift to you. Perhaps some day you can help to make peace between the two for the sake of everyone.

sweetheart. please you don't need to run away from home. running away from problems is not always the solution to it. try to have a sincere and respectful talk with your mom,let her know that neither your dad's faith nor hers can save you.if your dad who is a Muslim does not put your faith to test why her who is a christian. Above all, always remember that the Almighty GOD(God of the Christians) is a loving and caring God, He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear according to His promises in 1 cor. 10:13. If you didn't relent in serving God, this test of faith by your mom will make you grow more mature in the faith. Please look for a mature and genuine christian in the same church you attend that you can share words with and gives you a word or two of encouragement from the Bible. And lastly don't forget to talk to God in prayer before doing anything, He will surely direct you and provide a solution.

Child neither your mum nor your dad really cares abt the religion they follow. I suggest you learn a few fundermentals of the moslem religion, the moslem religion is veyr close to the catholic religion, in many ways than one, but there are strong differences, you must be aware of both religions in equal manner to take your descision, once you have enough awareness then pray to god to enlighten you, i wish you well.

It is so strange . have you ever ask your mom : if she thinks Islam is better , Why she is christian ??? at first ask this from your mam . then research more about Christianity & Islam . when you find the better one , be serios and say : I should choose my religion , not anybody else . If it doesn"t work you can give some help from your dad . (( fight for your believes )) I will pray for you .

You're stuck in a religious family war. I don't understand the reasons why your mothers faith is good for her but not good for you. I believe if you are old enough to make religious freedom choices then it should be up to you to decide what faith you want to choose as your life path.
Whether it be Muslem or Christianity. There is only one God....

Stay a Christian, your mom is crazy and needs some help! Stay with your dad...if you mom is living with you both then just stay strong and talk to your dad about things. If you mom does not live with you then just leave her alone.

I respect your problem and your faith, both of them. Just suppose (and I know this is contrary to both religions teachings you grew up with) God is more than the name of a religion and what church or faith we identify our human selves with? What if God is bigger than all of these religions and 'He' is waiting for us to figure that out? What if they all lead to the same God? I am sorry your parents are confusing you and complicating your life. They are wrong for hurting you in this way, but what if they think they are right and they both think they are 'saving you' by forcing you to embrace whichever religion. They are only doing what they know, and cannot do more. When they allow themselves to learn more as a parent, then they will see your side and not just their own need for control in their shared adult relationship.
Your heart will tell you where to go as far as religion or even no religion ( remember, man is not perfect and his ideas and limitations as a human will lead to mis-representing and mis-interpreting 'God's' words and intentions) and your faith and love for and in yourself will guide you. I have spent most of my life studying other religions, and yet I claim none, but I can proudly claim respect and knowledge of all of them.
God KNOWS your heart. And thats all that matters. Respect your parents, but ask them to respect your spirituality as an individual right. God will be with you no matter what religious text you read, what religious building you are in or what you do, say, wear, or have. God knows what is coming up for you, maybe He wishes you to study both religions? Knowledge is power, archeologists cannot dig for mummies in Egypt without brilliant knowledge of Ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs, no matter what their personal beliefs are. Perhaps your Mother doesn't want to be accused of not allowing you to learn your culture? Maybe she just wants you to know where you come from.
I wish you all the best. Many Blessings and Love.
