As others have suggested: Just tell her. If you feel it's necessary, go out of your way to assure her that you're still a "good person", that you simply don't believe there's a god. Explain as much as you feel comfortable with, while making it clear that you're not trying to (de)convert her (yet
.
If you're upfront and direct with her, ask her to listen to you. You may not see things the way she does. Ask her to respect that as you respect her for believing in God. Generally people would much rather prefer you be honest than to live a lie. If you go along with her and she then finds out you're faking it then she'll be hurt all the more. And, it won't do much good either.
just confront her and tell her. a lot of people make a really big deal for things like this, but then when they say it the person just says something simple and you're like baffled at what they said. so just tell her. she's going to find out anyways. trust me parents, dads, moms they find out everything.
listen whatever you believe in will be who you are when you grow older. you believe in whatever makes you happy. according to people "god" loves all, correct ? he/she will love you for who you are no matter what. all the bibble is are words, and if you don't believe them that's just who you are. explain to her that you both have different beliefs and that you prefer to believe your own.
that's all. and don't take offense to what others say. there are just so many people obsessed with god that you can't help but get criticism from. so ignore it.
if you feel a certain way, tell her. that's all.
when she goer to pray with you, tell her "I'd rather not"
-good luck !
hi again jaes. unfortuently =, most people who believe in any religion fail to understand why theirs isn't the all-prevaling.
your mum may well not accept your decision, she probably won't if she's so devote, and sorry there's not much you can do about that. you have to understand that her belief is stronger than your disbelief, if that makes sense? in other words, she may feel that acting determined towards you may intimidate you to back down, and at least apear to believe,,,
don't make a huge point of it or anything, just next time something comes up, like prayers at the table, don't outright cross your arms and start humming 'we will rock you' lol, just lower your head and let them do what they do.
just because you're in the presence of people who activly believe, it doens't mean you have to. as long as when prayers are being said you just lower your head and let them prey, you are not infringing on their beliefs either. then when your mum does retalaiate your can demonstrate that you have had respect for her beliefs, as she should for you.
in reality, she may get a bit uppety and unhappy and generally frustrated that her powers of persuassion arn't working. stick to your guns, believe in who or what you want, thats your right, and as long as it doesn't infringe on anyone elses then you are the innocent party.
tips;
don't be aggresive when you talk to her - this will give her cause to tell you your being influence or something!
don't be angry when she dismisses your opinion.
basically, be assertive, but not aggresiv. and consistant. if you don't want to be part of that faith anymore, thats fine, I'm sure one day you'll find something thats suits you, or maybe you won't. but this experiance with your mum, will be an indespensible lesson for you for life. respect others and have faith in yourself and the choices you make.
Maybe it's not worth it to tell her how you feel at this time. Maybe you should consider waiting until later in life to have the conversation, or just never have it all and avoid the topic of religion. If you think this is a copout, consider that your religious views are really none of her business. Maybe preserving the relationship is more important than having a massive arguement about religion, possibly with bad fallout.
Good luck...
It's practically impossible to tell parents, under good circumstances, that you don't believe in the Christian ideal of God.
Tell you what (it worked for me). Go to the store and buy a copy of the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey, and forget it on your bed. When your parents find it, and confront you, that's when you tell them what you really believe in. Anything's better than that in their eyes... right? lol [True story, that's how I told my dad a long time ago.]
