how do you tell your overly-religous christian mom that you’ve decided on a different religion?

I’ve decided to pursue Paganism, once I turn 18, (in another year), and i find it really uncomfortable to go to church with her, because i don’t believe in half the sermons. I don’t want to throw this at her, cause 9 months ago, I came out as a lesbian, and that gave her a near heart-attack; and she’s just starting to get used to it now. can anyone help with advice? should I wait until i’m 18 and off at college?
thanks a lot,

PS: in light of lovely answers… i’ve had a few laughs… i’m ok with Paganism. and I know of most of what it consist of.. and i’m not in it as a fashion statement or as a teenage thing. I’m serious about this, and i appreciate everyone advice! thanks.
i hate how you can’t edit this thing…. lol… thanks willywyo for you lovely advice, i think i’ll follow it and to the others, thanks as well… to those who are like “satan has captured you…” saying stuff like that, isn’t exactly helpful. i think that if you voice your opinions in a nice yet joking manner, i’ll be more resceptable to them. like someone said “Hey mom, I’ve decided to let my soul perish..” i thought that was funny. so yeah… thanks

I America a religious nation?

We say that we have separated religion from state but all the while Bush’s reason for being against gay and lesbian marriages is that it is against God. All the more though there were many more important issues in our nation- Iraq for example. This really got a strir out of people.

Christians…are christian lesbians/gays considered BAD christians?

Not christian, not lesbian…simply wondering according to your religion and individual differences..please dont be rude
Sexual immorality, doesn’t imply gay/lesbian. Sexual immorality simply means immorality, like rape, adultery, etc. You can’t loosly interpret where you see fit!

where do people get the right to judge?

i have seen many questions on here saying gay and lesbians are against religion, racism, etc. Well a lot of these people claim to be “good” christians does it really feel that way to judge other people god created? I personally am not gay or a lesbian but i take offense because i have friends and family who are and i dont feel people should have the right to through judgements in their religion! What do you think?

Why do you think that in Islam they banned web sites?

of gays, lesbians, pornography, women’s rights, non Islamic religion, and criticism of political restrictions.
