okayy I officially hate my mom and stepdad. they are extremely overprotective christians. they basically live at church. Whenever I want to listen to my music in the car my mom always gets mad and starts yelling at me and says " I dont like that garbage" and then she turn its to this christian radio station that I just cant stand called "Spirit FM". And I was listening to a station called K92 that plays the music that makes the billboard charts, nothing with cussing. just songs like; poker face, boom boom pow, circus, ect. And The Other Dayy I wanted to buy this scary movie called dead silence but my mom told me if I bought it that when we got in the car she woukld break it in half beause the bible says god doesnt give us a spirit of fear, so if fear doesnt come from god then it must be from satan. So that means christians cant watch scary movies? I dont think so. Im Not even christian anyway they just make me go to church and I have to live with them. :/ and she told me the other day that she was going to stop me from listening to music I like and watching anything except for christian sh*t!! help please!!! ugh!!!
I feel your pain,I went through that in foster care last time,I couldn't watch wrestling for 3 months,I was watching an old episode of House on FOX,when the dude started bleeding the mom walks in with her son and started yelling at me about it,so I ignored it and changed the channel and acted like I didn't like what I saw,I did but she didn't care about what I liked.
She went to church 3-4 nights a week (Sunday Tuesday and Wednesday and sometimes Friday),I absolutely wanted to snap on her cause she treated me and my sisters like total sh*t,but she said if I slipped just once,she would report me. I know talking won't help any seeing how pissed you are but the best you can do like I do my family is don't talk to them,write notes if you want to talk to them,if you want to watch a scary movie,go to a friends house.
She may be Christian but she can't force it on you,mine did and I told her I'm Atheist because I don't like having things being thrown or forced onto me. If you have an iPod,listen to it when she's listening to the radio and if she asks you to turn it down,just turn it down to where you can still hear it but to where she can't.
SOME Christians don't approve of scary movies but some do,and what she said about the fear from the Bible isn't true,I read the Bible for a year 2 years ago and found nothing about it,total lie!
Hang in there dude,you'll survive if you believe yourself that you can.
Hey bro, both you and I know that your mom loves you. She just tries to teach you about her beliefs but doesnt really know how to do it. Yes like the others are saying, you do have that freedom. Even in the bible it say that God lets us do what we want. But that doesn't mean that what we do is right...
The bible says in Ecclesiastes 11:9 to sum it up for you. Its says, enjoy the days of your youth. Do what you want, when you want, BUT just remember one day you will HAVE to GIVE an account to God for all that you did. And HE will judge you. Im not forcing anything on you, just know you will be judge. Also read Philippians 4:8. That will show you what kind of music and movies you should hear and watch.
Others think its no harm, but I tell you the truth, The Spiritual world is much more real than this one. There is a right way, and a wrong way. No such thing as a middle way. Whether you believe it or not its real. If you want to ask me anything or leave me a comment please do. Email is thefshs@yahoo.com
Bye and God bless
Well, I agree that your mama is being rediculous. However, she is still your mama and you shouldn't argue with her. Sit down with her and explain your views and beliefs. Tell her that you believe that god would teach tolerance and you would like some of that tolerance.
When you are in the car, don't argue with her about the music. It's pointless and it will just cause problems. When you are driving, you can choose the music. When you are home in your room, then is the time to listen to your music. I know it sucks but it's easier than argueing.
Explain that you are a responsible adult and you believe that you should have a say so in your own life. Your mama probably won't like this but don't argue! Give her the same respect that you would like to receive. If you need help or more advice, please feel free to contact me. Good luck! Sam
I must say that music in itself is not bad. But lyrics in many of today's songs are real rotten and you would do better not to listen to them. Instrumental music is not a problem.
As far as horror movies if it just interests rather than scare you then it is not a problem watching one once in a while.
Coming to your it is most definitely wrong for your mother to pressurize you in this manner. A mother should guide a child in the right way from a very young age. Not doing that and torturing him or her when she has grown up is meaning less and will do not good. Your mother should stop that but who is to tell her this? I think you have to do it yourself.
My advice to you is this try to know your Creator. Our Lord contrary to what your mother has presented to you is not a Lord that limits your freedom. He liberates you.
it depends on how old you are. if your about 12-14, they probably think your too young to make up your own mind. if your 15-19. you have to let them know your growing up and have to start make some of your own decisions when it comes to things like religions.
Sit them down and explain to them, your not a christian, you can buy the things you want. You can be whatever religion you want. Just make sure to respect their wishes. if your under 18 they do have control over what you do. but there is such thing as going behind their back.. But with things like music around them, you cant do anything about that. your under 18, you listen to what they want you to listen to. atleast around them.
You are free to believe what you want, but I think you have to obey your mother. If you realize what she went through to raise you, you will spend your life thanking her and doing what she says.
Meanwhile, I suggest you talk to her. I mean there is nothing wrong about music or scary movies. If God wanted us not to listen to music or watch scary movies, he would make us feel guilty about it. I do not feel guilty when I listen to music, I feel alive.
Just show your mum that you listen to her 'cause she is loved and respected.

well ask her where is says that! I have never heard that and I am a christian. I listen to poker face boom boom pow and all that also. my mom and dad hate it but not because its not christian. I think its just their veiws!
how old are you? where is your dad? can you live with him?
you have a choice
the best thing to do is start researching the bible so if she says one thing you can stand up for yourself & use the bible to "prove" your case.
Try talking to her, ask her why she feels so strongle about this, what events & such she went through that made her become the way she is.
Do as your Parents say they keep you out of trouble and you must believe in a creator and read the holy bible and I dont see anything wrong in watching horror movies but music the wrong music can cause problems.
that's why I listen to my iPod in the car. My parents me to go to church to but I listn to slipknot and stuff so I just don't let them hear it
Hey, I am NOT christian and I never wanted to listen to my son's music when I was driving. As for the movies...how old are you?
