Christian but don't believe in god..?

Question

Hello, I'm a 13 year old girl and I got baptized at around age 8 and I'm getting confirmed soon. I do not believe in god and haven't for a while. I'm agnostic. I haven't told my friends or parents yet because I'm scared what they will think of me. Is this bad, getting confirmed when I do not believe in the Holy Spirit? I realize I could tell my parents that I don't want to, but I'm scared.

Answer

I would be more fearful of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. You may not believe, but that doesn’t mean He isn’t real.

Answer

It's fine to pretend if you think your parents may retaliate poorly. Everyone says "oh your parents wouldn't disown you or kick you out", but there's thousands of teens living on the streets who would beg to differ. 
Not saying your parents for sure would, but better safe than sorry. I moved back in with my parents for a while when I was 23, and I quickly learned to keep quiet about my lack of faith in Christianity. 
Do what you think is right.

Answer

I'm 13 too, and sometimes it's very easy to doubt that there really is a God up there that's in control of the world. Especially in the age we live in, with everything in the Middle East, the shootings, terror attacks, hurricanes. It's hard to believe with all that going on that there really is a God that controls the world. But when you read the Bible, you see that God gave Satan control over the earth. Obviously he wouldn't give full control, but he gave him control, but intercedes for us where he sees fit. Now the reason I said that was, that even in all of this crap, we can see God's hand at play. We see communities pulling together and helping their neighbors and communities pick up the pieces. I was raised in a Christian home, so you kind of have to adopt the faith like everyone else. But you really need to take a look at your heart if you don't believe that God exists. Then you can't be a Christian. If you want to be a Christian then you need to take a look at your heart, see if it's in the right place. Do you truly not believe in God? If so, why? Do you have a good reason? Take a look outside, the trees, the grass, the sky, the birds, it all points to an intelligent designer, and who else but God is there? I know that was really long, but I hope this helps you take a look at your heart, and if you really aren't sure, ask someone, your pastor (but we all know as a kid asking your pastor stuff is SUPER awkward) your youth pastor, youth leaders. Any Christian adult who can help you take a look at your heart. I pray that you will read this and realize that God must be real. He loves you!

Answer

You can't call yourself a Christian if you don't believe in God. This is something you need to tell your parents about, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. You should only get baptized if you obviously feel ready for it, which you clearly aren't. 
Talk to your parents and I pray that your heart will change. God bless you

Answer

I’m sad that you are so young and caught up in such confusion in means of religion. God is still right by you and I️ hope one day you will open your heart back up to Him because I️ know He has a plan for your life and it is more amazing than you could ever imagine or do on your own. I️ lead a youth group and this is common for girls, I️ say don’t give up, why did you turn agnostic? Many times we get angry at God when He gave the world a free will, free will allows the world to do horrible things, but that doesn’t mean God isn’t there, or that He doesn’t have a plan for everyone including you!

Answer

It’s really hard to go against your parents, especially when you’re so young, but if you don’t believe then it is probably best to avoid baptism for now. Try to be strong and explain your reasons to your parents with patience and respect. They may find it difficult to understand in the beginning but things will get easier. You have your whole life ahead of you and you may find your path somewhere else later down the line. Thoughts are with you x

Answer

Don’t do it. Belief in God is a personal thing so you shouldn’t do such things to appease other people.
