Is this my parents forcing religion on me?

Anonymous

(18-24)

I'm 21 years old. For many months, I have been reading the Bible with my family. But the thing is that my parents bought Bibles and never gave me or my brother a choice to follow their religious ways or to read the Bible. I really hate that I have to do this every fucking Sunday. I do feel like my parents forced religion on me. What do y'all think? I'm i right or wrong?

You can read the Bible like it is a storybook because it is full of stories on Jesus. You mean you are at church all day Sunday and this grates on your nerves?
You are 21 so get your own place. Find a roommate or 2 and get out from under their roof. Live your own life?

You are an adult Do what you want. Tell them that you are no longer interested. If they tell you that's a condition of living there, then make plans to move out.

At 21 why are you being forced to do anything? You’re an adult...

  Tell that to my parents. I have authoritarian parents. I've lived with their methods since I was a child.

  Why not move out? Unless you are but just still do what they say then that really makes no sense.

  Well, I’m not sure if you make any money or work full time, but for now I would put a goal in place. Set aside what you can for at least a roommate situation and just rule this as a temporary thing until you can get out. I’ve seen people with kids, homelessness and all sorts of situations work things out for themselves, you can too.

At age 21, you are free to choose, unfettered. If you are dependent on food and shelter, get a job and leave.

  Then you have a decision to make. College or personal liberty?

Yes. And they are doing the wrong thing with good intentions.

What choice they have to give you? You're an adult already.
