Do you share your parents faith?

Question

Do you go to the same church? Have you ever really questioned it?

Answer 1

I was brought up with it (catholism) but rejected it by age 10.

My father died when I was 5 and up until her death, my mother kept hoping I would regain my faith. She would constantly tell me that she was praying for me, which I always thanked her for as I appreciated the sentiment was that she cared.

In her last few months, she kept insisting to me that I shouldn't worry as she was going to a better place. Not once during this time did I remind her of my atheism as I thought it would cause her extra sadness that she did not need. Although I was lieing to her, to do otherwise would have been far worse.

My step father used to be an atheist, but when mum passed away he decided she was still somewhere and that one day he would join her. I will never argue the point with him as it is what has kept him able to cope.

Answer 2

I was raised a Catholic, but when I was 13 or so, I had many questions about Catholicism. I searched for answers, when I was about 20, and it led me out of that church. I joined a Bible teaching church, ( fundamentalist type) and learned quite alot in that church for many years. I eventually left that church also, ( that's another very long story,) because they gradually drifted away from Christ being the head of the church. To make a long story short, I am a Christian, but I follow only the Bible, and do not have any one particular denomination that I attend. I sometimes visit various churches that my friends have invited me to attend, but I enjoy the personal relationship with Christ, and because I will always have questions about each individual church, I prefer to remain a free spirit. This enables me to search the Bible and get to the real truth, without any man made interpretations.
It works for me!

Answer 3

No both m parents are christian - mother is a Presbyterian and father is a Methodist. When I was a child my mother took me to a Baptist church which preferred the vengeful deity to any other and I walked away in 1984 never to return. I constantly questioned it as a child and was told by all adults except my father that I should just accept and not question. This eventually became part of the reason I left.

I am an agnostic.

Answer 4

We don't share faith. They don't go to church. We do believe in a lot of the same things but there are still differences in our beliefs.

Answer 5

Yes I do share thier faith but yes I did question it and studied it myself and found that many things we disagree on. When I went back to church I found a church I liked and went myself for a few years now my mom and sister go too. My dad is no longer with us so I can't speak for him.

Answer 6
