does anyone here have parents with different religions?

Question

what one do you choose??

I am a christian.just wondering because people say how you are brought up influences your religion.

Answer 1

I grew up in a Muslim family and had Muslim friends. One day, out of the blue, at age 21, I walked past a Christian church and because of weird curiosity, I talked to a man that was standing on the front porch of the church. I asked him out about Christianity and we went on talking for 3 hours straight. He gave me a small Bible and explained to me the basics. I was so amazed by what I heard that day that I decided to accept Jesus in my life. I did not choose anything that day, He chose me. I thank God for bringing that man (Jonathan) over my path.

Off course my parents wanted to know where the hell I was and was so angry at me when I told them. I was punished, humiliated and laughed at several times, and our community was shocked. I didn't care. Luckily I was already out of the house and studying. I joined a church, close to my flat and started to make friends with people there. I testified during a church service and I don't think I saw too many people with dry eyes! To make a long story short, the relationship between my father and mother has been restored over many emotional talks. I'm praying, I'm praying hard. I ask my fellow Christians on Yahoo Answers (the few that is here!) to also pray for my my parents.

Answer 2

Yes my daughter Susie has. My partner is Catholic called Bernadette and I am Jewish called Paul. It sometimes amuses me because there is quite a famous book telling the story of St Bernadette( of Lourdes) written by a Jewish person called Paul.

On top of which as a teenager became interested in Sufism an interest which has stayed with me for the last 36 years.

Answer 3

You choose the one you most identify with. I have parents with two different religions and I have a freind who has jewish and protestant parents. We both chose one religion but kept some practices from the other for special holidays. We both grew up exposed to both, so when we got marred, we picked one.

Good luck.....go with your heart!!!

Answer 4

It is quite strange. Although my parents were of the same religion, Christianity, the Church separated. One was of the Catholic faith while the other was Protestant. One religion, two faiths. Does that count? For me, I chose Buddhism.

Answer 5

Both my parents were brought up Christian. My dad seems to be an atheist. But I'm a non-christian. I'd be considered a Noahide.

Answer 6

one parent is christian...the other is an alcoholic(biological/no religion) and the other was an antisocial pscychotic(step dad/professed christian...dead now thank God) I am a muslim...my mother taught me how to be a good person...period...both my fathers taught me how to be indifferent, to hate, or just be plain mean. i took the best from my mother and buried the other with my fathers.

Answer 7

Yes. My mom is Lutheran, and my dad is Baptist. I chose the one that fits my lifestyle and choices, which is Lutheran. The bets choice is the one that fits your beliefs, not someone else's. There is no right or wrong choice, just go with what makes you feel closer to god.

Answer 8

my mom and dad were both raised cathoic

my dad became protestent
my mom doesn't go to church and keeps god to herself

I believe in jesus but am against organzied religion and don't believe in the bible
(my mother isn't against o/r she just doesn't feel a need to go to church so we do have a difference there)

Answer 9

Yes both of my parents are christians

Answer 10

I chose Imaginary Society. My parent's churches I didn't choose either; they too are imaginary but won't admit it.
