Wunsbee, stranger or not, you don't owe this minister any explanations. Your beliefs are none of his damn business. Your parents are subjecting you to him because they know they don't have the goods themselves and are hoping that he can be the "closer" on this deal. Don't be intimidated. This is nothing more than a craven appeal to authority, and I doubt "the authority's" reasons for believing are any more convincing than the swill that gets regurgitated here daily.
Frankly, I think your parents are pathetic for adopting this tactic. Sorry.
