My best friend is a christian and...?

The Majority Of My Friends Are Atheist, Deist, And Agnostic. Rarely Befriend Anyone With Religion (only one mormon friend). And I Manage To Keep The Relationship, Regardless That Im Catholic (not strictly though)

Well Heres The Thing, Religion/Spirtuality Rarley Comes Up, And When It Does Its Usually Caused By Another Person And I Notice How It Segregrated It Becomes, But We Eventually Find A Common Thing To Agree On (**** organized religion!)

The Reason Hes Like That Is Because Of A Controversial Choice You Made, The Way I See It, He Always Saw You As A Certain Person But Seems You Changed His View Of You. But, The Idea Of Rarley Bringing Up The Idea Of God Could Work, But He Is Religious And (i don't know him, but ill assume by what i know) Would Try To Change Your View Of Reality And Death.

What Can You Do? Well Try Doing Other Things, Don't Get Your Minds On God, Or Religion, Or Spirituallity, Try Going To A Bar, Or To A Gym, Or Play Some Games Or What Ever You Do. Try To Find Common Interests That Don't Have Anything To Do With God. But The Idea Will Cross Everynow And Then, Its Unavoidable.

When The Idea Of God Does Come Up, Try And Find Some Common Ground, Don't Just Say "god doesn't exist, all religion is false no matter what you do or say", Try Being More Agnostic, Get Into Topics Like "its plausable" Or "can we really know?" Try Asking Questions That Are On Topic But At The Same Time Swaying Away From The Topic.

Its Not Hard To Keep Friends Regardless Of Beliefs, Thats Insane. Can Atheist Only Befriend Agnostics? And Theists Only Befriend Only Other Theists? Can A Catholic Only Love A Catholic? I Think It Was Jesus Who Said To Love Your Enemys (how do define enemy's, and love is entirely up to the person, and i like to believe it defines those who you don't agree with)

But Enough From Me. How About You Ask Yourself What You Really Want? Think Whats Best For Your Relationships, Will Your Godless Life Grow Into Something Thats Completley Not Compatable With God? Or Will You Accept Others Lifes Instead Of Trying Your Hardest To Claim Its All Lies? Only You Can Answer Your Own Questions, Hopefully You Choose The Right One And It Does Good for You Life.

"What should I do?"

Absolutely nothing.

1. If his 'faith' is that fragile it's obvious he needs to have a look at it.

2. Are you sure he isn't using a typically xian ploy to appeal to your emotions so he can convert you over and into his cult?

He'll appeal to your FEAR with his next appeal.

Then he'll ask you to join him in his Stockholm Syndrome.

LoLz

My two best mates are Catholics.

It very rare religion comes up cos they know what I think; I don't hold back.

Having said that, I'm an Australian; religion is something that little old widows do on Sunday before the Lamb Roast and teh football.

Just tell him you did not meant to hurt his feeling, but then what you think is your own rights.

Anyway, if you are the one that bring up the subject, then perhaps you should never do it again.

It is not difficult to keep a relationship so someone of different beliefs, as long as both are quite rational about it.

Christians are not supposed to be easily offended. God wants us to stand strong in our faith. Just let your friend know that you are just expressing your feelings and you didn't realize it was such a touchy subject.

It's possible that you guys have different beliefs but remain good friends. If he doesn't like your belief and think it hurts his feelings, just don't bring it up. I'm interested in some discussion about philosophy but one of my friends hates it, so i stop bringing up this topic when we are together. It works fine and we are still best friends.

Just do not bring up religion. Some people are so blinded that they think that just because they believe something everyone else does too. It is better with those people to just let them think that

See if you can talk it out, but do you still love him even though you two have different beliefs. That will test your love. And if its not meant to be, its not meant to be.

That's goofy. Tell your friend to have some huevos!

It's up to you but he might try to convert you!
