I was raised Roman Catholic since birth and have believed in the teachings of the bible because I have been told it is the only way. My parents are always trying to push their Christian ideals on me and it bothers me a lot. I try to have discussions with my father and debate with him but whenever I throw something at him(not literally) it's like it doesn't count. There is no convincing a grown theist, is there? It's always the same with theist: It's true cuz it is.
What do I do to get past the wall of irrational thought and convince them once and for all? Are there any arguments I could use? http://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/thinking.gif
P.S. Just because I'm 15 it doesn't mean I don't know what's going on around the world or I'm not experienced in enough in life to understand, because I get that sometimes.
Thanks a lot!
