I truly enjoy thological/philisopical debates and want to engage in them with my parents, particularly why they believe in god, but they say "I dont want to talk about that".

How can I get them to open up?
 
Maybe you should find people at your church and friends who want to engage in theological and philosophical debates. If your parents have told you they don't want to talk about, you might want to consider respecting them and their wishes.

Your parents quite possibly grieve for the "loss of your soul" and pray for you ferverently to "turn back to God." Bringing up the subject repeatedly is not only probably upsetting them, but is like a slap in the face.

If you love them, I'd leave it alone. You can drop your ideas into conversations, but they obviously don't want to debate and discuss with you. Find others to fill that need.
 
they probably don't want to talk about it because they don't exactly understand why they believe in God/Jesus/The Bible...right? otherwise, they would love to talk about it. i imagine they're afraid you're right, but want to pretend to themselves that you are wrong.
 
Depends.

If you can speak to them adult to adult or peer to peer, it will be easy. If they won't speak with you any way other than parent to child, forget it.

Be honest, forthright, and unemotional. Treat them as you would have them treat you.
 
just take the print from the below site and give them, insha-ALLAH they will enjoy it and will be engage with that truth.
