Hey guys. As you probably don't know, my parents are not saved. This is usually not a big deal, but the other day my father and I had a discussion about religion - it began with him stating his belief that religion was stupid due to all the trouble it causes in the world and it's lack of solid evidence. Of course, I couldn't just let this go. As the conversation progressed, he said something along the lines of "Well if we are all going to Hell without Christ and you are going to Heaven, wouldn't it be better to be in Hell with us?" to which I foolishly responded with "Christ comes before family." My father didn't like that one bit, and went on t ask ludicrously hypothetical questions such as "If your little brother's (he's 10 months old) life was on the line, or you mom (etc etc), you wouldn't renounce your faith?" to which I had to, with a gulp, say no.
However, this has been plaguing me and giving my soul no rest at all - I feel horrible that i said that in one hand, though I know the Bible commands that...but I also don't think I could ever truly do that...and basically, I've just lost a lot of faith...so any insight/advice anyone can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks =D
