I am Pagan and my father is a Christian minister. I recently came out of the broom closet to him and he accepts it, although he still wishes I were a Christian. But he's taking it a lot easier than I thought he would. I even gave him a book called "When Someone You Love Is Wiccan" and he's reading it!
Blessed Be.

I raised my daughter to believe the same as I. However, she isn't leaning to any thing at all right now. I truly believe in the verse of the bible that says. Train up a child in the way they should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

I am a Christian and my ex is a Wiccan. Our son is confused. He wants to show his love for both of us. It's tough. Really tough. My only peace is knowing God is in control. I do not shove Jesus down his throat. I just try to lead by example and answer his questions honestly. The choice he must make is his alone.

I have 4 teens. They each need to arrive at their own conclusions. I have taught them what I believe to be true. I expect them to research, think, pray, and decide what they believe for themselves. It is not a real faith if they don't come to accept it personally.
My teens are in various places regarding belief. We have no problem with it.

yes it's about not forcing your views and beliefs on any other being - Laa Ikraaha Fi Deen.- = "Let there be no compulsion in this Religion" Chapter #2 Verse #256 of the Holy Quran

We all have our free agency and you have to respect that as long as it is within the confines of our laws. If it isn't, you have a responsibility as a parent, friend, brother, sister... to at least express your concern.

As long as they weren't harming themselves or others, and as long as they were respectful of my beliefs even if they didn't share them, then yes. If they found their new path to be spiritually fulfilling, that's what matters.

If you dont respect your own children, you shouldn't have children.
