If someone asks you to believe in something, without offering an explanation, most likely they don't have one!
Do yourself a favor. Show some respect to the God, who gave you brains. Start asking questions and seek answers.
Your parents may have taught you things. You may have learned things from teachers or elders. But that does not make those things right. Don't forget, long ago, SOMEBODY came up with those things. And they were the ones who did not believe in what their parents and teachers and elders had taught them.
Yes. It takes courage. You run the risk of getting outcasted. But if you don't do it, what difference does your life make?
Don't do things just because someone tells you to. That's not how the mankind has reached so far. Faith is good, if placed in a tested place. If something doesn't present itself to be tested, it isn't worth your faith.
Things get more murky and difficult when it comes to religion and God. But that isn't where you should fail to act. If you cannot speak against something, at least make sure you don't become a part of it. If you cannot question in public, at least do it in privacy.
Take care.
