I am 15 years old and made up my mind that I don't believe in God. My parents know about this and they beat me for it, and they don't even ask me why. They force me to go to chruch and go to this class where you 'learn' about God, where it doesn't do much to me because everything that is said in the class I already knew, and go to youth group. I don't believe in God because it's stupid. I don’t want to base my life on a place where I’m going when I’m dead. I want to live my life the way I want to, not the way a book tells me to do. “The bible gives you faith.” Yeah, well, I already have enough faith in myself. I don’t need anymore faith from anyone or anything. What should I do? I feel like I'm gonna kill myself. Should I just tell them my feelings, even through I'm probably gonna get beaten? Or call child custody and see if they can help? Please, someone help me, I'm sick of trying to be the person I don't don't to be!

(1) Next time they beat you , ask them , Did God teach you to beat children ?

(2) If they continue to beat you, you can do either of the following :

A - Speak to the local authorities / Child Custody and seek their help

B - You are 15, in 3 years you will be an adult, maybe you can pretend to believe in God and once you have your independence you can do just what you please.

This option has lots of fun points. example put on a serious face and ask your parents "If Adam & Eve were the first man & woman and had 3 sons, then who was the second woman ?"

"If God created the world on the first day and man on the sixth then when did he create the dinosaurs ? If he did not create the Dinosaurs then who went around digging bones of donosaur like creatures in the soil ?"

"If God created Man in his image, then does God have a belly button also ?"

"If God witnesses everything, then can he held guilty for being a silent witness to a rape or gemocide ?"

Parents usually try to give the best for their children, because they want their child to have bright future, physically and spiritually. They know what's better for their children than the children do, because they have more experience and education, but often times children don't like the way their parents educate them, but in the future they will regret and say " I should have listened to my parents ( instead of my friends or people I'm hanging around with)."
I am telling you this based on my own experience. I made so many mistakes in my life, because I was so rebellious, but then I realized that my parents were right.
I completely agree with Starla_C, that you should talk to a school counselor, if you really tell the truth.
If you tell lies, you are ungrateful and should be ashamed and never do that again.
I' m Christian, but I wouldn't beat my kid, if they didn't go to church. It's against Christianity.
If you really tell the truth and your parents beat you, you shouldn't generalize all Christians and say all Christians are bad.
It's unfair. Nobody is perfect. Christians are human beings ,too

Just because you are a child, doesn't mean people can beat you, even your own parents.

Nobody can force God or Christ on anyone, it has to be your own search. Until you heal yourself, you can't start searching.

Please talk to a counselor at school or if you are in immediate danger call CYS.

This is a temporary problem, you can be on your own at 18 and choose whatever path you wish. Don't think about killing yourself as that is permanent. I had parental problems too and moved out at 18.

I am a Christian, and we're not all that way. I will pray for your health and safety.

Just what is it that yo want to do that you are sure God would not what you to do?

ON your side just what is it that your parents demand that you believe?

Honestly discuss the answers to these questions with a school counselor if you are in public school and if not ask the next police officer you see to take you to a child protective services counselor and discuss the answers to these questions with her.
Failing that call 800-4-A-CHILD (800-422-4453 for a re feral to child protective services.

There are people who abuse their children with religion. We call them cultists. There are children that are just brats and want their own way.

Know this that if you start this process you may never see your parents again. Also know that the foster child system in most states is no picknick either.

You might call 1-888-414-casa or email nationalcasa.org. They recrute people to help the family courts determine abuse and prevent child abuse, At your age you seem able to describe your situation.

You need to tell an adult who you trust outside of your family if you are truly being beaten because you need more help than any of us can give you. You can certainly contact social services yourself but another option would be for you to call the Boys Town National Hotline 1-800-448-3000 for information about assistance in your community and advice on how to deal with your situation.

I'm so sorry. You need to tell the counselor at school what is happening. Don't set yourself up to get beaten again, until something is done for you. If nothing happens with the counselor, go to the principle.
I don't belong to a religion, but am spiritual. No one has a right to put their hands on you in violence.

Omg, i feel your pain. Your parents don't understand that it's ur life, and they can't choose if u belive in good or not, it's like if i wanted to be a teacher, and my parents would beat me up because they wanted me to be a lawyer....geeeshhh....talk to a counselor at your school, she'll know everything you should do, but don't suicide yourself....trust me....then your gonna meet the man downstairs, and trust me he ain't nice.

If you are being honest (which I have my doubts) talk to a counselor at school. You should not be beaten for not believing the same way as your parents.

If you are lieing (which I suspect) you should be really ashamed of yourself for making trouble for your parents.
