Simple... Tell him you don't want to belong to any religion... My mom has done everything to me... She even threatened me.. December 31st last year I slept throughtout the night... My mom threatened fire and brimstone I did not bulge. I got to school she delayed my feeding allowance for 3 weeks, on Sunday she will call me and ask where am I and I will tell her that I'm on my bed. She even threatened me with the wrath of God on disobedient children.

Just make sure you stand your ground and never bulge... Tell them your reasons and be serious about it... Don't let anyone influence your decision... You are a person of yourself.

Even now, my mom has now resort to begging... She's now begging me but ain't gonna go to any place of worship.

My Dad called me this evening to tell me the essence of praying. The thing is that I don't believe praying solves anything Atleast to me. the day I stopped believing and started working more on myself, I found out that things started getting better for me than those who goes to the Church and Mosques.

When I think about a lot of things I have read and what I have experienced I feel like I have always been deceived all my life.

The Pastors and Prophets with their fake miracles or the Boko Haram and their suicide with the reasons of going to heaven to get virgins.

I currently live with them though I plan on moving to my own place by the end of this year or early next year.

I really want to tell them in a polite way so they can accept my way.

My Dad won't accept this, as he believes that it is God or nothing.

I really don't understand what you mean
I learned to work hard for what I want so that I won't have to beg from others.
I have my reasons for my decision but that's a story for another day

Chigold101:


How do you expect people to give you a sound advice with an incomplete story. You are keeping the reason for your decision away from the people you wish to receive sincere advice from, how would that be possible?

You kept mentioning working hard and it now seems that those who are attached to religion don't work hard and you making it also to look like your father isn't working hard because he belongs to a religious group.

Make no mistake about life... Life Is lived more in the spirit realm than the physical. There is no man under the sun making impact who doesn't belong to a religion. They are all connected to a spirit being and they pay their dues to those spirits including the people that claim to be atheist.

I am a christian and one of the fundamental Teachings of the Christian faith as propounded by Jesus Christ is hard work and maintaining timing. I don't think there's any religion that encourages laziness.
However, if you don't want anyone to disturb you because of religion, move out of your parent's house, town and state.

But don't end up suicidal when you learn you took a wrong decision.
Try tracing your way back, I once thought just the way you are thinking now until I encountered something wey pass eye

CalmElder:
I insulted christians, called them thieves in front of my mom.

I left home, age 18, stopped attending church, but I told God, if you truly exist, I want proof. There are many religions, show me the one.


I will lie to mom that I don't miss church any time I go home.

Mama kept praying, took my name to women fellowship, sisters too were praying, brother wrote my name and kept in his Bible.

I was living wild, but there was a void drugs, money or sex couldn't fill until.....
God revealed himself to me.
I'm now a believer.


I was a skeptic like you.

neyoohhh:
Most people are atheist until they experience a near death experience.

Fear anyone who says my religion is humanity!

EmmaxKeys:



I see nothing but blindness here. Very soon, it will end it tears for you.

I can only advise you to continue

Do not bother to raise the issue for now cos you won't get any meaningful response. Wait till you move out of your parents house and make your decision known to them if it is necessary. I stopped attending all religious programs when i moved out of my parents.

The only reason you're a Christian is because your parents raised you as one. Of course, you'd consider yourself lucky and fortunate.

But, I do have to wonder,though,how many people really give much though to the fact that they happened to be born to Christian parents,and if they had been born,for example,to jewish parents,they would likely follow judaism,and if they had been born to Hindus or Muslim parents,they would likely follow Hinduism or Islam,and so on.

Across the globe,there are people who have absolute belief in their religion,and that religion is exactly the religion their parents chose for them. (And,most likely,their parents belong to the particular religion for the same reason.) And these people feel strongly that their religion is correct.

sotall:


You need a personal encounter with God.
I didn't say you should go to church or mosque. Just search deeper within your heart and be sincere with your desire for God and he will shew himself to you.

You have taken a bold decision by wanting to stay away from religion but then you still have to battle with the mystery of the spiritual nature of man.
To answer that question, you need God.

To find God, you need a sincere and honest desire of your heart and will.

Remember science cannot answer the spiritual nature of man and this mystery is what all humans must confront and solve someday while you are alive on earth.
My advise is dont wait for life issues to make you running looking for your creator.

I always remember my biological class when we learnt about the theory of cells. Cells are the basic unit of life including humans.
Now one fact that was stated during that class is that " all cells come from previously-existing cells".
This means you have a creator. Take your time and find him.

The problem with religion especially Some if not many Christians is they emphasize so much on heaven and church activities forgetting ure living in the real world and fail to equip Christians with skills to face the real world especially when same Christians are not exactly ready to go to heaven bt want to enjoy long life on earth.

How to face the real world and conquer it many Christians don’t know. Bt they know how to handle numerous church activities. It’s like cramming Christianity.

The problem isn’t Christianity bt how some/most people practice it. It’s very faulty and unreal. Op pls don’t abandon ur faith it’s the best thing that can happen to u. Just practice it correctly.

Wait until you move out then you will understand the power of prayer.

fowlyansh181:
Don’t discuss it with them, they’ll chastise you for it .. simply continue with whatever you are doing till you move out ...

When I was still with my family , I hardly joined the morning prayers, I don’t go to church on sundays , not in a stubborn way but just my thing .. if them shout for you like 4 times and you still do it, they’ll eventually just ignore you.. now I own my house and do whatever I think is right for me and no one questions anymore ...

Stop treating those forcing you to go to church as a problem, rather kindly do whatever you like without labeling it..

No go Dey cause problem for yourself with your parents because they believe religion is right and they want the best for you , don’t hate them for that, rather do your own thing without even stressing yourself .. they don’t know any better.

OP don dey enter Highway......

Devils plan is to make you lose faith in God and it seems he have succeded.....

I Pray Redemption locates you Bro.....
