Religious family breathing down my neck?

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 !

    I get you, for there was a time I felt pretty much the same way, but I was younger than you are now.

    When ever we hear: you cannot do that and you can't do this etc etc, it even turns adults away, mind a teenager!

    Serving our Creator is not boring at all and in fact, teens who do serve Him, find that it is the best way of living.

    He's not breathing down your neck, he's trying to show you down the right path since you're obviously lost.

    What kind of father would he be if he sat back and watched you lose your soul?

    The Satanical viewpoint is I am God, which you get when you eat the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, a metaphor for magic mushrooms. Anyway, you have to take it metaphorically, not literally, the whole thing, as it's been proven wrong literally by evolution, and in many other ways. The thing is, a few centuries ago, they were torturing scientists to death for telling the truth, like the stars weren't a curtain that ended at the sky, but went on almost forever. That guy should have been famous, but he wasn't, cause they killed him. His name was Bruno something.

    Help? Help how? If you're too much of a newbie to make a social media account that a freaking PASTOR can't find, and you're too passive to speak up to your parents and remind them that you're an adult capable of making your own decisions, there is very little we can help you with.
