run downstairs with a crucifix, and snap it in front of them whilst they see the '666' you've drawn on your forehead with a sharpy. Then scream satanic words

Is this is a troll? Surely if you fear for your life you would tell the police?
lolwut
You seriously need to seek help

whilst parents should encourage religion for faith and morals, threatening and forcing children in a physical manner cannot be accepted in any sense. if you are not comfortable approaching the police, which i would reccomend, you should speak to someone such as a teacher or school counsellor. you need to find the strength within to overcome this or this has the potential to scar you for a very long time.

If this is indeed serious then the advice I would give you would either to go to the police or social services or find a way to move out and never see your parents again. Perhaps find a friend or other family members you can live with. You may think your friend's parents may not want you but you'd be surprised how understanding some can be as long as you don't take their shelter for granted and make an effort to do your bit around the house whether that is financial aid or otherwise.
Lolwut this has to be a troll, but if not, then legit childline still exists!

Honestly if they're Catholics then they follow Jesus and Jesus doesn't encourage violence. So what they're doing to you, isn't right. Do you have any siblings? Can you get an aunt or uncle to speak to them? Where in the bible does it say you have to pray for 2hours a day? Catholicism is supposed to be a choice that benefits your life, not a forced routine. They clearly have it all wrong awks. I don't know if you've completely lost your faith, but if you haven't, you can pray (voluntarily) for help. If you have, childline, 999 and social services is also there for you. Us TSR'ians can't save you unfortunately
