FunAdvice Advice from: hollylae http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/hollylae en-us Re: How can I get my family to respect my religious views? Okay. So I grew up in the whole mormon family and faced the very same problem and still do. I decided to be true to myself and what I belive in, I mean they get to, why should we have to give up our belifs to make them feel better. I love my family deeply and I'm sure you do too, but if you're not true to what you belive then what's the point? What I did was got them together and simply said "I'm only going to say this once... I have my belifs and you have yours I respect yours and I do not feel you do mine. I hope that in the future that will change and I will continue to respect yours. If you cannot respect my belifs then please respect me and have no further discussion on the matter." Tell them that you belive that if there were a god, or your god, that he wouldn't separate a family like that, I mean isn't the what their whole religion is about anyway, family!!! So why if you don't do certain things is that just ripped away, it doesn't add up! Anywho, best of luck, it worked for me and we have a better relationship now, but it is still something that occasionaly comes up, but I just stick to what I said in the beginning and it usually subsides. hollylae Mon, 17 Sep 2007 00:53:49 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/religion_is_causing_problems 100068 Re: Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

I can tell you the mormon beliefs and adultery, it is absolutely and completely not acceptable!!! It is a sin and a very big deal. It is between the two people married wheather or not to stay together, but it is grounds for divorce. and divorce is NOT something taken lightly among the mormons it has to be approved before you can even go through with it, but adultery is one that they would approve divorce for. I'm sorry that happened to you by the way. hollylae Mon, 17 Sep 2007 00:38:36 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/adultry 100062 Re: Are there any Mormons on this site?
