A friend of mine is a mid teen and her parents don't want her to go to church.  She is allowed to when she begs.  Why do you think parents wouldn't want their teen going to church?  It's crazy to me because it's being taught to live a good life for the Lord, and not going out and getting drunk, pregnant or killed doing things they shouldn't do.  What do you think?

Maybe her parents don't want her to get caught up in the religious bullshit that goes on in Churches today?

I mean, I love the Lord and I consider myself a Christian, but...C'mon, Church isn't the way it used to be.

I've never heard of parents not wanting their kid to go to Church before...considering they go.

Weird.

It's her right to go, she should go anyways.
