How do I deal with overly religious parents?

Question

Ok, I do not live with my parents anymore thankfully but when I visit for two weeks or so during college breaks, I feel kinda suffocated by how religious my parents are. I do not mind if they choose to be religious but it is definitely painful when they force you to take part in their religious ceremonies. I have tried to tell them politely of how Im not interested but whenever I do, it leads to a huge fight or argument. What should I do to survive these breaks?

Answer 1

have a talk with them

Answer 2

pretend to have an excorcism during one of the ceromonys :D

Answer 3

i totally agree with Stormy S. your living with them for 2 weeks, it's their house and their 'rules'.

go with the flow. if you want to avoid the argument just go with the flow. if you really don't to, then just pretend to do whatever it is they want you to do.

Answer 6

If you are going to stay under your parent's roof for two weeks then you need to tolerate having to live under their rules as well.  This is THEIR home not your's any longer and they have the right to expect anyone staying there to follow their rules.  If you don't like it I suggest when you go "home" to visit that you stay in a motel/hotel or with someone else.  They don't have to change their lifestyle in their home just because YOU visit.  Grow up and get over yourself.
