PROBLEMATIKA ANAK MENJALANKAN IBADAH DALAM KELUARGA MULTI AGAMA DI KOTA PALANGKA RAYA
ABSTRACT: Problems of humans
vary considerably. One major problem concerns religion. Under a normal
condition, one can observe religious rites properly. Problems arise, however,
when one, especially children, lives in a family whose members practice
different religions. This can be seen, for example, in many families in
Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan. The decision to follow a particular religion
and practice it in a multi religious family is challenging. There is a problem
between the conscience to practice the religion in accordance to one’s own
faith and the pressure to follow parents or foster parents who practice
different religious. This article examines not only how adolescents choose
their own religion but also how they practice religious rites in a multi
religious families. Using qualitative-fenomenology approach, the data consitsed
of ten families and were collected trough partipative observation and depth
interview techniques. Findings show that adolescents have serious problems not
only as to how they decide their own religion but also how they should observe
their religious rituals. They felt confused, doubt, and event affraid of doing
religious rites differently in such families. Findings also show that there are
correlations between parents’ defferent religion and their low-motivation in
religious activities and understanding religion.
