So....how does a kid around here change their religion?

Question

It sucks being forced into a religion just becuase your parents are one.

well..I don't want to be affliated with any religion...how am I suppose to do that?

Answer 1

You have to read and learn for yourself

Answer 2

You shouldn't be. It's your parents job to expose you to their religion, as well as, expose you to other denominations and religions. When I was in high school I took a course called "Comparative Religions." I not only found it to be extremely interesting but it also reassured me that my Episcopalian roots was the right faith for me. However, now with all the changes that the church has been going through I've come to question this decision again. You should be questioning until you find the right answers for you. May God help you with this decision.

Answer 3

look dutchess i know q/a are fun and religions may bore you but if your parents love you dont you think their trying to teach you to do right now no ones perfect but if judgement day was to come you think we all be here on q/a no my soul means more to me i want to live forever so with faith i believe in god church may be boring but you meet lots of people and after church a food gathering to socialize so your parents are trying to teach to about god now cause latewr i see you wont go you rather be at a party or friends

Answer 4

I agree...are your parents making you get confirmed? I know a lot of kids who were forced to get confirmed. Kind of defeats the purpose of confirmation. Baptism is for the parents, confirmation for the individual.

I don't know if you're raised Christian or what but you are whatever you identify as.

Answer 5

Hi,
I'll base on the facts as a christian.The fact that I don't know you "current" religion, just accept me to answer you this way.

Its vital to first listen to your parents and take some time praying and meditating upon their words / advise.
Read (Exod.20:1-...) the Ten Commandment where its about the respect to parents.
They might be having a point in what they are telling you. Think twice.

What religion do you want to join anyway?
I believe your choice to follow you desire is either right or wrong. I'm saying so because I don't know what you are quiting and joining.
Believing that Jesus died,and rose from the dead, believing in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is the vital point in Christianity.

On the other hand you might be right!
If your parents don't believe in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in the death and resurrection of Jesus, then you have a point.
This doesn't mean that you have to over react to your parents, always remember the first point. (Respect to parents)

If you find it hard to talk to your parents about your desire to change your belief, let your friend give a hand!
Some parents are to staunch in their religion. If they are not christians, go for prayers where they pray from the later later go and pray in the religion of your choice. with time, they will realise what you want and finally you have a step to quit.

If you really know the truth, it will set you free.Read your bible and pray every day. God will answer your prayers. "f He says yes, who can say No?"

If you feel that you have no friend to help you, give me a chance, I canreach out to them via my phone, it may help them to change too. Here in Africa especially Uganda,we have freedom of worship.
What of you?

Dear, There's time for every thing. Just believe in your heart, pray, fast about the desires of your haert and call upon the Holy Spirit of God to teach and guide you.

There is time when you are going to leave your parents. you'll have all the freedon to exercise what ever you want. Just wait for that time, you'll have no limit to do good but a limit to evil.
At the moment bear the situations. They will help you to deal with the future.

Never fill great or above over your parents. This will widen your days of living.


I'm praying for you.

Remember, Prayer is a sweet perfume that pleases God. Put it on every day before you sleep.

READ THIS TOO
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:5,6 NIV

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

1 Peter 2:24,25 NASB

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith
that saves is faith in Him.
GOOD TIME

Answer 6

Befriend someone who belongs to another religion, try to get introduced in their place of worship and ask for lessons/books on their doctrine.

Answer 7

You can adopt any religion you wish - however, until you move out of your parents' house it'll save you a lot of grief to keep it to yourself - and keep the peace. Good luck...

Answer 8

Go to the place of worship of the religion you would like to convert to, and talk to the main person who runs it (priest, rabbi, whatever)
They will help you with whatever you need to do

Answer 9

you don't, just give up on the idea all together.

All organised religions are the same thing.

Try looking for your own spirituality and not taking the rules and constraints that you are being fed now too seriously.

Welcome to the sane world.

Answer 10

Maybe you can point out what they are doing is not really scriptural like if they cuss or lie or steal and that you don't want to be a hypocrite and you want out so that you find the true religion.

Answer 11

Your parents can't force you to be anything. You can just say, I am not religious and presto, you are on the same page as me.
