Can you talk to an adult.
10 years ago
Im all for stimulating conversations, the ones that make you think. but sometimes the people just aren't going to listen or simply ignore what you say. what is more frustrating is when the people you are trying to have a conversation with are family.
my parents are on a knights templar crusade to destroy my furry side. they want meiko and meika dead...plain and simple. if its not from god then it must be avoided. if you cannot take jesus there it must be wrong. furries are wrong because they are sexually perverse and therefore unfit to be associated with. ive tried to debate this with them on the grounds of an adult conversation. saddly the results are less than mature.
their argument is based on that furries are sexually perverse and engage in dangerous behavior, (l.e. pre-marital sex, same sex intercourse, and other things). when i cite that members of the christian faith have done horrible crimes such as bombing abortion clinics, they get rathet offensive. all i was trying to do was show that no social group, religious or otherwise, is without blemish. to say there is one is to be blinded. no one is perfect and christianity is no exception. what is sad is because my folks are so religious, that talking to them about furries is impossible. no amout of real data or facts will change their minds.
so in their desire to crush anything furry or anything not “normal” they are opening fire on their own child. “saving” is what they call it, but its also mental abuse. worse yet, mental abuse leaves no marks and the courts can't go after the abusers, at least from my understanding. so in their quest to keep me from something they feel is a threat, they are harming their own son. they see the emotional damage as but a small price to pay for. i say no...this is not ok. im no expert but this is bound to lead to more trouble in the future.
so in closing, can you have a conversation with an adult, yes you can. but with conditions of course.

You could also read them some of the terrible things that are in the Bible, like the stoning and etc. if they are so "perfect" and "obey" God, then show them that obedience comes with a price.
slavery
stoning someone on simple thing

One other possibility that I could think of is to start acting. :P
Take all this with a grain of salt.
Indeed, christianity has done terrible things in the past. But the difference between who you are and what crusaders were, is that you don't bring harm to anyone. Being Meiko does not bring any sort of negativity into your life, or that of any others. In fact, it is a good thing. It brings you happiness. It helps you socialize. It allows you to express your creativity-- and so forth.
Being a furry may not be considered "moral" but a moral code is designed to prevent people from taking advantage of others (IE: lust leads to non-consensual actions). Instilling them a sense of good will and to avoid being reluctant to help others.
It could be interpreted this way: yes the crusades were wrong, but comparing what you are doing now to the evil of the past does not justify what you desire.
It's possible they view this deviance as a gateway towards more dangerous acts and this is what they are trying to "Save" you from.
Meiko. You're fucking 28. Act like it. Start looking after yourself and stop relying on them. Find someone to stay with, demand your possessions back and just leave. I again don't know what "benefits" they hold over you but it's not worth this bullshit.
I nearly went through the same shit with my parents, so it's possible.
