I'm no longer a christian, how do I break this to my parents?

[System of Solace]

Personally I told my parents and immediate family after a few months then I don't believe in Islam. I haven't told my extended family, I've told a few friends...but here is some reasoning that perhaps should be a factor in your decision.

1) If your parents would not love you and your relationship will be damaged severely if you tell them, do you want to have a relationship based on a false perception of you?
2) If your parents would love you despite your decision and embrace you still, don't you feel that you should give them the chance to prove themselves to you and not assume bad about them?
3) If you don't know either way, don't you want to know, how your parents truly would react?

Honestly, I'm having a hard time not telling the community and it makes me feel in turmoil. Everyday I feel like announcing it on facebook. It's only due to feelings of my family that I don't do it. But I know I can't live like this forever.

At the end it's a personal decision. The easy decision is not always the correct one, but it's up to you if you want to make that one.

I honestly don't know what is correct, but I felt like I couldn't keep the truth away from my parents for too long, because I wanted them to have a relationship with whom I truly am, and not someone I'm not.

Hi MysticKnight,

In another thread I said that I thought you were a Baptist or a fundy Christian but apparently I'm mistaken. Sorry about that.

I would caution you not to tell your community. There was a case of a chap who's a journalist in Saudi and he said something in his Facebook and he was arrested and they wanted to execute him. If you live in a Muslim country, you must not tell them. They're barbaric in these Muslim countries. They might even stone you to death or cut your head off. I saw a video of these things before and it's REAL.

What I would do if I were a Muslim is I'd say all the pious things, get a permit to leave the country ostensibly to preach Islam (in these countries they are very oppressive. I imagine you need a permit to leave the country). I'll then go to England and seek asylum. After that I will CURSE Allah, Muhammad the paedophile and all the Islamic saints and icons. I will eat pork, smear lard on the Quran and post videos on youtube and send them to my former Islamic country. This is what I would do to such a ridiculously oppressive religion.

A few Muslim countries threatened war on Britain (I think) because some guy burned 300 copies of the Koran. So, I suggest you hold back a bit.
