Religous Questions.

sounds to me like being Bisexual is like the New PINK.

I will deal with all of these cross roads when and if I have to. What you say and what you do, most of the time, are two different things.

Fau:

So since I am an Athiest and bisexual - my parents are now ignorant and didn’t raise me right? I think you need to take a look in the mirror.

1.) as long they turn out to be good people I seriously would not care. when it comes down to it every religion-not satanism- has the same foundation. and that is to be a genuinely good person. 2.) id tell them that if they are a follower of a faith, it probably goes against it but its their own decision. no one can force anything on another person. their own happiness should be a prime motive as a parent.

well im a proud athiest,

if they beleived in something other than me (which would have to be a god) I wouldnt like it, because I dont agree with anything religion teaches, I would accept it though it if was there choice, if they started converting people into there religion I would tell them thats wrong, and if they talk about things that contradict themselves I would also tell them thats wrong, but I want to raise a smart open minded child, not a child who beleives “god” made everything “poof” out of nowere so yes, I would be happy if they didnt beleive in a higher power

if they said they were gay, I would be happy for them, I support gay people 100%, it doesnt make them any less human, I would still teach my child the dangers of unprotected sex and and abouty other things though. and id like to meet who they were dating, just as I would with a straight child. I love gay people though, so id be quite happy with my child if they were gay, bi, lesbian, or staright neither one makes them any less human

I would be okay with either of the questions, if my child chose to be gay it would be just fine (although I’m not sure my husband would say the same), as far as religion goes I don’t even know what I am, supposedly lutheran but I dont go to church so I think I would be fine with anything

I would be disappointed if my child joined a fundamentalist type group or other similar cult, and would probably actively try to deconvert them. But other than those types of dangerous religions, I wouldn’t care.

I wouldn’t do anything if they told me they were gay.

1. I would have to make them believe in what I believe I will not have my child go to hell
2. get them therapy

I’m Buddhist…my 3 children are Buddhist, Atheist, and Catholic - by their choice

My oldest daughter has already claimed that she is bisexual.

My kids are compassionate and well-behaved.

I love my children just the way they are - with their own abilities to think and make decisions for themselves. My job is to raise them safely and with values, and I think I’m doing a pretty good job.

I’d just accept it and move on with my life, why would you risk damaging a relationship with your own seed because of things like that??

For me personally I wouldn’t care at all, I’d completely support my child in what they wanted to do with there life. I am both bisexual and a different religion from my family so if my child was the same who am I to judge?

This is the way I see it.

I’m an atheist. If my daughter believes in a certain religion than we have a philosophical difference but not that big a deal.

If someone is a Christian who believes that only good Christians go to Heaven and everyone else is tortured for eternity in Hell than that raises the stakes a great deal. People who believe that the stakes are this high will be a lot more troubled by their kids believing differently than they do.

different religion : id accept it, but only if they know ALL the facts

as for being gay, I dunno, id have to accept it, there wouldnt be anyway around it and I wouldnt do anything stupid like kick them out etc.

life is life, you gotta take it as it comes…

Your child grew up and believed in a different religion than you do? I am an atheist, but I am a strong believer in letting people have the choice of what they want to do. Of course I would raise them as an Atheist, but I would want them to believe whatever they wished.

Your child grew up and told you they were gay? I have no problem with that. I would support them, call the police if they were bashed, help them deal with teasing schoolmates, comfort them, anything. I want my kids to do whatever they want, believe whatever they want. (Within reason of course.)

First question: Be OK with it. Second Question: Never speak to them again. I don’t have children, but I know that is what I would do.

Your child grew up and believed in a different religion than you do? In general, I have no issues with religions, what they believe, they believe. If it started to affect them or me then it would be different. My friend’s sister, after 10 years of being with her partner, has decided to join a conservative religious group and decided that being with her partner is a sin. Would I interefere if I saw something that stupid was ruining their life, probably…

Your child grew up and told you they were gay? Uhm nothing?

1. Nothing in particular, unless they were ‘abusing’ their religion. Then I’d show them how ignorant and wrong they are, for doing so… just like I do with EVERYONE else.

2. Nothing in particular… well… I might ask them to redecorate my home.

I would accept it, seeing as I have no views against either possibility as such. I think that in the majority of cases a child is the product of his/ her own up-bringing. For me to criticise my child would actually be the same as criticising my parenting, lol. But, I don’t have children so I’ll just have to wait and see :P.

I’m actually very suprised so far with the answers on here, I would say more proud than anything.

91jchevy87ec You would stop speaking to your child if they were gay? Have you seen the movie prayers for Bobby. The mother in that movie would not accept her gay son - he killed himself, and she regreted it all in the end. I don’t see how anyone could turn away their own flesh and blood - maybe it’s because you dont have children yet and don’t realize the love you have for them.

So… You wouldn’t be proud if they had the same beliefs as you, lol? I agree definitely though, that if my child (my theoretical child :D) was to have different views to me, then I would admire his/ her independence and actually feel complimented by the fact that he/ she is able to make individual choices without buckling under my influence.

I’d be proud of my children regardless of what religion they chose or their sexuality.

I was speaking about the members on this site. I see a lot of people on here bash each other for their religion and try and force their beliefs down others throats - it’s nice to see that almost everyone would love their children and be proud regardless of these choices.

Good Questions. First I ll enquire him what lead you to take such a decision. I will try to clarify him as best as I can. If it wa ssuccessful I will leave him in his way. And My belief is:-“” He whom “Created you and your child” guides will never be mislead and he whom The God misguides will never find one to guide him.””
