do u choose ur friends based on religion.or u first choose and the check religion. or else it doesn't matter to u of which religion one is.  This doesn't have to be an either or question. Religion is the the teachings that give you a set of guiding principles on how to live life if you follow your religion. (Faith is what you feel in your heart and the connection between me and God). Friendship is interaction with others. We make friends usually because we are drawn to a person by similar interests. Regardless of friendship I treat people with respect. Their ideas don't have to be mine nor mine theirs. I have friends of different religious beliefs. I have even accompanied them to their ace of worship, where out of respect I will adhere to the rules like wearing a veil over your head or long skirts instead of pants. None of this takes away from who I am nor from pur friendship. Wish you the best. I know you love me!! |

If the person can't accept the religion "belief" you follow, then what kind of a friend are they? The two should go separate ways, cause obviously they weren't friends in the first place. This does not mean they have to worship the same god or have the same belief/faith either though. They can still be friends in worship in separate places. Now it would be a friend to occasionally discuss the belief(s) if and when it comes up and share with each other their beliefs. But that in itself should have no baring on the friendship thereof. i like what he said. as christian myself, i grew up among the moslem. and i have no problem with that. i myself have dated few that hold belief dif than mine, I've dated atheist too at one time. its really doesn't bother me about their belief. but it irritates me most,when or if they are trying to shove it down my throat, preaching me about theirs.

Its now 4:23 am EST. I have insomnia and praying for God to allow me to sleep and to stop these horrible nightmares. So, I have time to post. LOL!!!!!!
I think another blogger said it right, true religion is Love, compassion, humility, sacrifice, honestly and so forth. If we claim that we are Christian then our lives should exemplify the character of jesus Christ who mingled w/ the thieves, murderers and prostitutes w/o he himself sinning. Granted realistically they are lifestyles and things that may set boundaries in many friendships but your friends still needs to know that you love them. (please don't read in between the term lifestyle and things) it could apply to many scenarios. |

If I was still active in and devoted to my church (religion) I would only mix as close friends with like minds as instructed in the Scriptures. Being yoked to unbelievers even in platonic relationships can create a distracting influence that could very well cause backsliding and even apostasy. All the instructions the bible teaches is for very valid reasons, and those who prefer to live life their own way or by keeping up with the Jones find too much fault with religion, imo. As a non-practicing Christian but still a believer I choose my friends based on how they treat me and how much we have in common or think alike on most secular issues. My ex of 18 years was a non-believer. So my next partner if there should ever be one again would most definitely have to be a believer and we will decide if we want to believe the same way in order for the two of us to become one.  one
