My dad keeps forcing me to attend church.
I completely respect religions because should a person wish to choose a god to worship, thats their choice. But this is making me extremely sick and I struggle to openly talk with my parents since they will not listen to me about religion.
I know personally that I am an atheist. In my opinion, forcing me to attend church is like forcing a a left handed kid to write with their right hand - it's plain wrong.
Because of this, I can't speak to anyone in my family about personal issues so I end up quite introverted. It's gotten to the point where I will dread the weekend because of Sundays and I have literally counted the weekends left until I leave this house.
Last summer, my dad even made me go on a pilgrimage whilst they jetted off to a sunny region of the US for a nice holiday.
I can't believe in any of the stories they say- the homophobia, lack of evidence, "miracles" and complete dismissal of science really affects me.
Someone please advise me, I feel so lost and my parents WILL NOT listen to me. I honestly do not know how I can cope, the thought of listening to another story I don't agree with makes me nauseous.
Put the internet to work for you.
