My parents are strict Muslims and I want to convert. They say I can't follow the white mans ways, is there ways I can do this secretly or how should I go about doing this? I believe in teachings of the bible, but I can't do it :(

Convert in your heart and pray that your parents will allow it.

Sounds like you already converted. You don't have to be vocal about your beliefs to have them. Keep your belief to yourself until you move out..this will cause a lot less stress and friction.

Also, by only being vocal when you move out, they'll know it is not to be "rebellious" against them, but rather a thought out decision.

Find a local church get involved, go introduce yourself to the pastor at the end and say you want to give your life over to god, he will help you do it right there and now.

good luck, blessings

Yeah I'd do it in secret, not in front of your parents. You can go out and live your life when you are out of the house and your parents aren't watching you.

The reason you keep the secrecy is because if you don't then your family will be torn apart. You want to make your own decision but you don't want to cut your parents out of your life.

I'd wait until you move out or go to a youth group in the meantime if you can.

All I can say for now is to keep it a secret, you still need your parents' support in your daily life.

They say I can't.


How old are you? Do you still live with your parents? Why do they have any say?

If you aren't an adult, then you just have to wait until you are then you can make your own decisions.

Christianity has nothing to do with "white man"

They should understand that Jesus promised: "I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father, but through Me."

The fact that Mohammed came around 600 years after Jesus' resurrection should really say something.
