i think the best way to tell her is to tell her ur not ready and u'll sooon try ur best to become a confirmed one.
and if she dpesn't agree then tell her u r gonna be 2 faced cuz she wantes u to follow and u ur self don't feel anything that makes u want to follow the religion
and also give her the advantages of ur own understansing of when u would want to become a confirmed religious person.

good luck !!!!!!

Been there. Although agnostic/athiest, I was forced to do all the christian things until I was 18 (a strict family rule).

On numerous occasions I tried to convince my parents that I was sincere and mature enough to understand these things and make my own decision. They wouldn't hear it. They didn't like to hear it. And they probably thought I was fibbing just to avoid going through the torturous catholic services and functions. Side note: I think it would have been impossible to intentionally create a more boring ceremony (to a teenager) than the catholic masses I sat through.

I would have had to run away from home to change things. Or if I confronted my parents with all of my energy, there would have been life-long consequences to regret, and probably physical violence.

I finally decided that it was better to simply go through the motions, although never lying about my lack of faith. Absurdly perhaps, my parents accepted this arrangement. They just prayed for me, I suppose, and hoped that I would come around.

I'm a complete atheist today, and must avoid religious discussions with my parents and most of my family. It has hurt our relationship, but not to a major degree.

Even though dialogue and reason did not work in my case, I think you should try that route. But just remember to consider that, whatever steps you decide to take, there could be a lasting impact on your relationship with your mom.

Best wishes.

How old are you???
Confirmations are done when one is young.
So, may be because for that you are afraid to tell your mom about what you feel.
If you are convinced about your new faith......dont walk around.......dont lie to her saying that you need more time.
To lie is not a solution...
face the problem if you are sure about your beliefs.
Is more honest and will be better for you.


Good luck


lol.......you dont need to stop being christian bcoz of the pope. I dont like popes either, i cant understand how they can live as they do when the surrounding world is falling down in pieces...I feel myself as a good christian,,, but cant share that nonsenses about the pope and all the luxurious way of life in Vatican...I agree with you

If you are under 18 you have to do what she says, try to find something about going to church you enjoy. It doesn't have to be spiritual. Once you are 18 you can move out of the house and do whatever you want on Sunday mornings.

If she is truly religious than she will believe that by renouncing Christianity you are going to hell. This is not something she will take lightly so she is going to try very hard to keep you in the faith. I think your only real chance here is to lie to her.

What does confirmed mean? Does it mean nuts? Does it mean rectified, what exactly does it mean?

As for telling her you want out, just send her an email. Most church people are quite difficult to reason with, you're better off just sending her an email. And get some friends who will be sympathetic to your choices. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

But try to treat your mom and her church people with respect as much as is possible, just don't let them push you around.

As long as your new faith advocates using Spell-Check, I would say that's fine. Just tell your mom how you feel and be blunt.

You say it just like that. That you do not want to go. It is your choice and there is a freedom of religion law that protects you. If she forces you to go, threaten to call childrens aid. Christians like to force you into it.
