So, the new Demon Slayer movie, infinite castle is out in the theaters and I’ve been eagerly waiting for the movies for almost a year now, when it was finally out I was excited to my core bout it and decided to go for it. The day I was bout to go and see the movie, I just wanted to inform my parents bout where their daughter(21yrs) would be and won’t have to be worried for the time I won’t be home.
The first thing my dad tells me is, ‘you’re not supposed to go to the theaters, cuz you’re a Christian’. In my head, I immediately ment like…. what…huh??? Cuz I’m a Christian??? What does that has to do anything with watching a movie??? But i just thought…. yk what, might be the generation gap and i should approach it in more of a respectful way, so I just said ‘I get it dad, if that’s how you want to grow in your believes and the things you want to do for christ, I respect you and your choices. But I’m pretty sure the Bible dose not talk bout not going to the theaters and watching a movie is going against God, and it’s pretty much same like how all of us watch stuffs on phone and TV’. After that, he just kept talking bout how i should be worshiping christ and do stuffs other than all this, completely turning a blind eye to what I said.
So, I thought bout it and just decided to go and watch the movie and came back, I enjoyed it tho.

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the asshole:
> 1) i booked a ticked for a movie to the theaters after I parents told me not to.
2) I feel like an asshole rn, cuz I feel like what I did is moraly wrong of me even if i don’t think I have done anything wrong. And would like different prespectives on it

no because some parents are really strict so when you go with them you wont really have fun
You’re a whole adult. NTA and start working towards moving out.
NTA. You’re old enough to go to a movie without your parents’ permission or knowledge.
You’re 21. Not sure why this is even a question. NTA.
NTA, going to the movies has absolutely nothing to do with being Christian. And if, in some wacky alternative universe, it did, you are still an adult and can do what you want.
Enjoy the demon slayer movie.
>The first thing my dad tells me is, ‘you’re not supposed to go to the theaters, cuz you’re a Christian’.
INFO: Is this literally the first time you’ve ever been to a movie theater? I’m struggling to understand how you’ve lived with your father for 21 years and only now have learned about his opposition to movies. Does your family have a tv? If so, does your family watch movies on that tv?
Have you never seen a movie in theaters before? Or is this a new thing for your dad? NTA either way, you get to make your own choices about your religious practices, but I’m very confused about how this is only coming up now.
NTA. You’re 21. You can do what you want. If something goes against YOUR moral code, don’t do it but otherwise, live life. I don’t understand religions that claim to know what God wants. When the Bible, Torah, Koran, etc were written, there were no movies. Theaters and performances, yes, but not movies.

“Your religion is yours, not mine. Therefore your religious rules don’t apply to me.”
it’s stuff not stuffs
You’re an adult. He controls his life based on his beliefs. You control yours based on yours. It’s not even close, NTA.
