So lately I think that I have been drifting away from my religion. I was raised Catholic and thats still the religion I am involved in today. I used to be very very involved in our youth group at church. My mom is very concerned about why I have stopped going, after I used to go every Friday and Sunday. I keep telling her that I cannot preach things I don't believe, yet she doesn't understand what aspects of the religion I don't believe in...
Yes, I am a spiritual person. I believe in Jesus and all the amazing stuff he did for us.
It just concerns me that a retreat our youth group had (the last retreat I attended before I stopped going, and which i was a leader to) the person preaching to the teens was saying things that I believe he shouldn't be teaching those teens.
Pray to the Lord everytime you have thoughts of masturbation or any sexual behavior.
Teens need to stop having sex and stay abstinent. He has hating on schools who offer contraceptives.
If you have thoughts of being gay, pray the Lord changes you.
Abortion is the devil.
Birth Control and contraceptives are the devil too. That's why God made women have periods (Calendar birth control method).
Nuh uh! I am not about to be such a hypocrit to be teaching these things when I REALLY don't agree!!!
In the end, I still have trouble convincing my mom that I still am a spiritual person, yet the Catholic religion doesn't suit my beliefs...
Any thoughts on what I should do?
