    You should honor your father and mother, but that shouldn't necessarily be translated as obeying their commands.

    You honor them by growing up to be a thoughtful, spiritual individual who's seeking the guidance and tools to make himself a better human being and the world a better place. They may not see things like that right now and they may never accept your religion, but they should be able to understand that you love them and need to become your own person.
