Shifting Religious Affiliation

[Hashiki]

I was brought up a Roman Catholic by my parents and they are very devout to our religion. However, I encountered several protestant friends that brought me to their church and kind of liked it better with more relevant messages, songs and dances of praise. How do I break it to them that I want to change my religious affiliation?

I do not think their is anything wrong with that. If I was your Mom, I would be happy to see that you discovered where you would be most happy. We are worshipping the same God anyway and there is just some difference with interpretations with some of God's teachings.

I come from a family where my parents are staunch members of Seventh Day Adventist. But I have seen my sister get married to a Catholic family or Protestants family. I have also seen my brother convert to Catholic, but my parents respect their choices and decision as much as they don't ascend to it.

You know as we get older and get exposed to different experiences and choices, there comes that moment and time in life that we have to stand up to our own convictions and make decisions based on what which we belief in and stop doing what other think is right for us.

Start making decision based on what you think is right for you, of course you might make a couple of mistakes but how else will you ever succeed and be happy unless you first try to?

I don't think u should change your religion just for having fun. It is your sacred duty to maintain your religious rules otherwise you will suffer in the long run

My parents are both Anglican and I also tried going to several protestant gatherings were you will dance, sing and praise I do enjoy it but didn't made my mind to change/shift my religion. It's your own decision to make

I totally agree with you Hashiki. I was also brought up as a catholic and when I grew up and was on my own, my friends brought me to a born again church. The difference between the services is very stark.

With the catholic church, I have memorized most of what will happen next. It is like an assembly line and very monotonous. With my born again church, the services are more lively and I can feel the minister is talking to me and my daily problems. I can relate more with this church and I felt that my faith was saved in this church. Changing religions is better than being a pagan, right?
