Honestly kid, it doesn't matter what we think of your parents, as long as you love them and they you. But, I have a strong suspicion that your parents, as very pious christians, are inadvertently doing you a big disservice. They think that they are doing the "good Christian" thing, by sheltering you from anything that might contradict what they say. (Ask any parent here, they are willing to go extraordinary lengths just to keep their babies safe.) But in doing so, they lie to you. They don't understand it, but from an outsider's point of view, it's utter and complete brainwashing. ADD and OCD are not an indicator for leaving the bible be, it doesn't make you weaker, automatically stupider or mean that you don't have the mental capacity to think for yourself.
As for telling us about god, you don't need to bother. Many here have been religious (me included, I was Christian until about six years ago) and the rest were fortunate enough never to having to go down that road. As for all the believing, wouldn't you rather know?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
