Dear Anyone,

How do you break from a father's good intentions when it comes to religion? Especially when your father is a retired minister. I'm 33, hand have been living on my own for 15 yrs, and don't see anything wrong with changing my beliefs. He does. He sees this as a sign that I'm lost and going to hell. We've had several discussions on religion, dogma, by-laws, etc. and can never agree to disagree. At least he can't anyway. I tried to change the subject when he brings it up now, but he is still on a mission to save my soul. I know he has good intentions, but I'm on the verge of severing contact with him for my own peace of mind. What should I do?
