Unless OP can prove he pays for the electric bill, since his snakes use them, he pays for the water he showers with, pays for the internet he uses to make thread posts, pays for the space he lives in, and pays for the gas on his vehicles......Originally Posted by OctagonGecko729
Whether my parents were good ones or not is immaterial to the truth or falsehood of my argument.
Saying something is "ridiculous" is not an argument.
Would we like to rephrase this as the principle, "People who feed and shelter you deserve your eternal loyalty and respect irregardless of how they treat you in your relationship with them."
The OP does not owe any respect to his parents as they have clearly shown that they are willing to force him with the threat of removing his property if he chooses not to go to a certain location they deem necessary. They are attempting to bully him into their ideals which is entirely contemptable. If parents such as this realized that their kids do not owe them respect because they were able to perform the amazing act of reproduction that every organism from a protazoa on up possesses then we would have far less of this parental bullying and the world would be a much better place.
Then and only then will OP not owe his parents anything....
And going to youth group doesn't mean you are going to get brainwashed... OP seems to know what he believes in...
im 1000% sure OP wouldn't get brainwashed
