My dad is the best, because he is not my biological dad.  He came into my life when i was 13 and was willing to deal with me acting like a complete teenage beast.  He has always supported every decision i have ever made.  He has been more of a dad to me than my bio. dad ever was. \nHe will be walking me down the aisle this November and i am proud to call him my dad

If you both are truly Christians, then you will honour your father and mother for then it will go well with you.  Read the book of Proverbs, it speaks about this quite a bit.  If you are living under your parents roof and eating their food while they pay the bills, then you must honour them.

We are to honor them but not follow their lead if it is wrong. Pray for them, then ask God to help you do whats right.It can be hard. Im a christian myself in which my dad is not so i can relate a little.Good Luck and God Bless!

The Bible does say 'Honor your father and your mother.' It also says 'Obey your parents in the Lord - for this is right,' and even 'Obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.'\n\nHowever, it also says we must listen to God more than man. This does mean that if you are planning to disobey your parents (particularly if you are still under their roof), you must have a very good reason, preferably one straight from Scripture. And that means you need to know your Scripture, know exactly why you believe being with him is the right thing, why it would be wrong to discount him. And if you are still living under their roof, and you attend a church or other place of worship, you should probably consult with the pastor or other leader before you do anything.\n\nBut I absolutely agree that before you even do that, you need to get your parents' side of the story. And you need to listen without judging them in any way. Just to find out their opinion in detail. No arguments afterwards, just 'Thanks for sharing that with me.' If you don't do that, you will have a much bigger problem than whether to see this boy.\n\nDepending on your age, it may turn out that the problem has nothing to do with him at all, and plenty to do with a perception on your parents' part that you are not ready for a serious relationship. They may believe that you should not be 'serious' with someone until you are ready to be married.\n\nQuite frankly, if you aren't ready for a permanent relationship yet, I agree. You should stay just friends. Be faithful to each other, if that's how God is leading you, but keep it platonic and see what happens later when you are ready for something permanent.\n\nAnd yes, that something permanent does involve 'leaving father and mother.' But that does not mean 'leaving mother and father when it's convenient for me, and running to them and expecting them to provide for me when that's more convenient.' But once that moment comes, then, yeah, your husband absolutely does take priority over your parents.

A god father is someone that you chose to take your child in the event of your death.  THey can also choose not to take you child then your child will go to the next of kin.  A Grandfather is the father of one of the parents.  Very big difference between the two.  There is also a God mother.  It is a good idea to pick both when you child is born.  Good luck!

Tough one.  My first (gay) boyfriend was, and is, a serious and observant Roman Catholic; I went to Mass with him once and he goes every week.  So the two things are not totally incompatible.  I'm middle aged though so I didn't have parents to deal with.\n\nI'd suggest contacting PFLAG for support and advice.

Both my parents are Buddhist. Since young they have been bringing me to all their religious activities and sharing with me the teachings of Buddhism.\n\nI wouldn't doubt that they would want me to be a Buddhist, but they never force me into the religion too. For this I am very grateful to them, especially when they never stop me from going to other religious event too. Yes, I have went to a church, Taoist temple etc.. My parents even enrol me into a evangelist kindergarten. \n\nI have learn about so many wonderful things about so many religions. I can't really say which religion I want to follow at the moment, but I would certainly hate to be force into a religion that I can't even be truly devoted to. \n\nI wouldn't say that letting your daughter choose for herself means that you have let your god down. I doubt any true religion will say that. What you should do is share and guide her on you have learn and know about your religion.\n\nIn the end, it's still up to her own choice. No point forcing her into a religion that she wouldn't be devoted to.\n\nI have seen families breaking down when their children decided to join another religion. The quarrels every time their child went to her religious event.\n\nAfter all, religion is about individual beliefs, even if you and your daughter holds different beliefs, you will always be bond together as a family isn't it? If that is what she decides, embrace her for what she have decided.

Its all about Faith.  \n\nI was not born into any religion, both of my parents always talked about God to me as a child, usually to their benefit, like " God says " Honor thy Father and Mother".  As a kid my babysitter took me to Jehova Witnesses gatherings, I went with that family every other day for about 3 or 4 years, however i never believed in thier teachings.  I fell asleep everytime i went.  When I got a bit older, I remember my parents taking me a few times to a pentacostal church, the amazing thing about that is that to this day i still remember a little hym that we sang in sunday school.  I was about 8 years old when I stopped listening to the word, or visiting churches.  My Mom and Dad were both pretty much on their own about that, they never went to church, they never talked about God.  My mom would read the bible every once in a while, but she never did anything to demonstrate any change. My dad was an alcoholic, and us kids, were just kids.\n\nLast year my dad got saved, unfortunately my mom and him had already divorced, but my dad got saved, and i noticed the biggest change in him, he was no longer violent, he was no longer drinking, he was no longer smoking, no longer wasting his money, he was no longer a demanding person from me.  I began visiting the church he attendent and I came to Christ within a month of visiting.  Honestly the day i accepted Christ, I was preparing my speech to reject the Lord.  But God is bigger than that.  I belong to an Apostolic Church, there is a lot of discipline and rules involved, but I think that what I enjoy about it.  That it is something that changes you, we have prayer services almost everyday of the week and have regular services on the weekend.  I have gotten to know God on a personal basis, he has done miracles in my life and in the lives of other members right before my eyes.\n\nI never believed in Catholic Faith, buddist or anything else, simply because that wasn't my place.  I think living in the united states we are free to worship what ever we want, and If I would have wanted i would have visited other churches when I was younger and would of known that those other religions were not for me.\n\nReligion's should not be found on basis of Statistics and strategies.  Faith is found when the church you go to practices what they preach, when you read that Scriptures and it all makes sense to you.  The Holy Spirit moves with in you and tells you right from wrong.

Yep.  My parents.  Not that they were all that religious to begin with, but they did take me to church when I was younger.  When I told my mother I didn't believe in god, she said she was disapointed.  When I told her I was an atheist, she said 'people don't like atheists'.  Now she's pretty much agnostic, after seeing my reasoning.  About the same with my father, but then, he's not as talkative.\n\nAnd I definitely helped my last boyfriend let go of god.

religion or family believes.

Despite what others have said, you are right.  Although there are exceptions, CHANCES ARE that you will practice the religion of your parents.  Not everyone has an opportunity to know Christ.  There are people who have never heard the name.  Or there are those who have been introduced to Christianity in a negative way (ie. colonization).  Religion is more likely to be determined by geographic location than anything else.
