Ever been in my shoes?
My dad told me to change the caption of a photo of mine on Facebook. I was posing with a rock and roll sign with my hand while at a party outside the country and I put a quote over the photo(Which I thought was perfect to go with it) which says "I stopped fighting with my inner demons, we're on the same side now".
He totally freaked out and told me to never joke about "demons". I told him it means nothing and it's really silly of him to react that way and it's not like I was lighting a joint on the photo. He didn't listen and went on lecturing me about the "devil". So, I gave in to his request and deleted the caption.
I don't hate him or want him gone like some spoiled teenager. I love the man to death and he's done so much for me I owe my life to him, I don't want to hurt his feelings. But, this Christian thing is very inappropriate. I'm 21 and I thought I was free to do what ever the hell I want, But, all I get is my super religious family breathing down my neck, still telling me what's right from wrong.
I was born in the Philippines so most of my family worship this Jesus guy. They don't want us to move out too far from home so they decided to live half an hour away from where I am staying right now. They come over on Sundays to invite me to Church it's ridiculous.
P.S If you're thinking that I should just make another social media account, I've tried it already. But, family and pastors seem to find me no matter what. LMFAO
So, halp me please!

You did the right thing by deleting the caption. Technically you are an adult and can post what you wish. However I am proud of you for honoring your father's request. If it seems silly to you and very important to him then it was right of you to mend it. Think of that always when something seems silly to you. You have every right each time you are asked to go to church to say, I appreciate the invitation but no thank you. You sound respectful to your family. It will go far for you to lead your life this way. Pick your battles. And if sounds like you do. Be proud of that.

Inner demons usually refer to conflicts you have to deal with and not devil things . That being said your folks are not going to accept that so to avoid trouble try to use terms that do not relate to religion unless you are ready for a major confrontation .
