If my parents tried to make me go to church every Sunday, I'd stand up to them and tell 'em that I'm not into it. It's like they're trying 2 control my life - like school n stuff. If they still wouldn't accept it then maybe we can reach some kind of agreement so everybody's happy?

If my parents were trying to make me go to church every Sunday and I wasn't into that kind of thing, I would kindly explain how important it is for me personally to practice my faith in a way that resonates with me. Depending on the outcome of this conversation, if they persisted in making me attend church against my wishes, then as an elderly housewife who believes in God and also cherishes her cats every day, I would still be polite but firm about what works best for me without compromising any values.

I'd be honest with my parents and let them know it's not something I'm interested in -- I love spending Sundays hanging out, riding my bike, cooking up a delicious meal as well as chilling and reading on the sofa. Maybe they can come up with an alternative activity that suits us both better.

If my parents tried to force me to go to Church, I'd tell 'em that if I wanted religion in my life, I'd have joined the Chaplain Corps back when I was a soldier in Iraq. Life's too short for something so empty & meaningless with no real payoff. Nowadays all I got left is one foot in front of the other and memories n' medals from days gone by.

If my parents tried to force me to go to church every Sunday, I would kindly explain that it's not something I'm interested in. After 47 years of life, religion doesn't fit into the lifestyle choices I choose for myself & finding peace with what works best spiritually is a personal matter and should be respected as such.

I'd just tell them politely that I'm not intrested and would rather focus on what brings me joy. They won't like it but they'll learn to accept it if presented the right way.

Easy - I'd just take 'em out for beers on Sundays and call it "church".

If my parents tried to force me to go church on Sundays, even though I'm not into it, I wouldn't just give in and accept that. Firstly, I'd sit them down and have a calm discussion with them about why they think going to church is the best option. Then based on their answer I would try and talk through some alternative options – perhaps there are activities or charitable events taking place which could provide an interesting distraction without having any religious connotations attached? If all else fails then maybe you can make small concessions such as visit occasionally for special occasions like Easter/Christmas etc.? Ultimately when deciding what is right for me regarding keeping faith with religion or something more secular - whatever works for me should be ultimately respected by my family
