My fiance is a Satanist and I do not know how to tell my parents?

Question

My parents are really big Christians ( my dad is a baptist minister) and I do not think they will accept my fiance once they find out. How should I tell them in a way that they will not overreact?

Answer 1

Does your fiance accept your parents religion?

Answer 2

And how do you intend to marry a person who is a satanist if your father is a minister? Won't he be expecting to officiate the service? How do you expect your father to react, after all, he cannot be expected to accept this person into his home, but on the other hand, he does not want to lose his daughter?

You put your parents on the spot here, I don't think it's an overreaction for them, they have every right to be concerned and speak out. You are telling them that you will be changing their lives and give them no choice or say so and then say they are going to overreact to it.

I feel sorry for them.

Answer 3

They will overreact. All Christians (no offense) overreact to Satanism because they don't understand what is really is. There isn't a way to tell them gently. What I would do is not tell them at all. Generally, Satanists prefer to keep their beliefs to themselves with the exception of people that they know will definitely understand and not bother them. They don't want to be persecuted for what they believe any more than other people do.

I have some Satanist contacts, so I will star this question. They may be able to give a better answer.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Tell ur parent, that u really luv this guy. besided if ur parent is a true catholic and has a true luving hearts they'll let u n if ur boy friend is a satanist n ur a catholic u might cured him!

Answer 5

(a) why would a Satanist believe in the sanctity of marriage?
(b) give your parents the option of associating with whom they choose. I doubt they would eagerly invite someone of Satanic beliefs into their home it they were properly informed.

Answer 6

LOL you again....I'm inclined to agree with the folks who say run while you still can. I think my own Satanic lover's spell just wore off on me. Listen honey, they are fun to play with and floor the Christian folks with. But when it comes to a healthy, happy marriage, you want a stable dude, "nesting" type. Not one with wild ways.....sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell...even if that is just a heaven or hell of their own making. The fact you can't share this new future son-in-law openly with your family without them freaking out should be a red flag to you.

Answer 7

Why tell them unless it would give you pleasure to do so? I'm more interested in knowing why you were attracted to a Satanist. It seems pretty sad to me. Are you rebelling against your dad?

Answer 8

I really wouldn't recommend marrying this guy, but if you really want to, there is no stoping you.

I think you should just tell them straight up, as it is.
They should accept it.
If it was meant to be, God will put it into their hearts, if it isn't, well, it is still your life.

I honestly though say again, do not marry this man.
What if you have children?
How do you feel knowing that your husband will exalt the one whom cast such evil into this planet?

Just take a moment and pray about this please.

My parents divorced, and I'll be honest with you, it upset me badly. I do not want religious differences to manifest themselves into hurt for everyone in your family.

I wish you luck and God bless.

Answer 9

Don't tell them- there's no need for them to know.
When my parents invite my boyfriend and I to church, we just go through the actions- it's meaningless to us. No harm done [other than complete boredom for an hour].
Neither of my parents know what we believe in- they just sort've assume it's something along the lines of Christianity. I guess so long as we go through the motions, it falls under 'Ask me no questions, I tell you no lies' kinda deal.

Answer 10

Is there any possible way to wait until after the wedding?
