Hello, I was born in a small city in north-eastern Argentina founded by north american Seventh Day Adventist immigrants.
I was educated in this faith from my childhood, but a year ago I became interested in Hindu Philosophy.
I was keeping it in secret until my mother recently found a copy of the Gita in my bedroom.
Today she spoke to me in a friendly way but she accused me of being an atheist and believing myself God.
Then she started questioning the idea of reincarnation (Because Adventists don't believe in soul or afterlife, they believe the only possible afterlife is the resurrection of the body).
I told her how could she reconcile the one life theory and a fair God, with the fact of a kid being born in extreme poverty in Africa and another being born in a royal family.
She told me that it's not God's fault, it's due to sin.
I asked why I was born in this world of suffering if was Eve and not me who ate from the forbidden fruit.
She told me that God has a special purpose for me.
Now she and my father want to have interfaith dialogues with me (I know they want to convert me back to Christianity).
I know it's gonna be useless, I was educated in this faith so there's nothing new they can tell me about Adventism to convert me back, and I also won't change their minds about their faith.
What should I do?
