When you choose a friend ! do you care about religion??

I don't base my friendships on religion. I can be friends with just about anyone as long as they aren't trying to force their religion on me. That's when my tolerance for relgion goes way down.

I exclude people because of my beliefs, I just tend to draw closer to people who know the love of Jesus. To share with someone who knows, all the wonders of Christ is a joy. The Bible says, "I will talk to my brothers about God my Father, together we'll sing His praises".

No, I don't, per se although I like having other Christian friends to discuss my particular faith with. I have friends of every faith and believe in cross faith colaboration.

Not at all... someone asked a question on the board a few weeks ago, I think, as to whether or not race/nationality played a factor in choosing friends and I stated that it did not. I think it follows the same guidelines, at least for myself, that religion does not matter either. As long as someone is not overbearing with their religion (due to the fact that I am not religious at all) or does not think they are better because of their religious beliefs, we can get along fine. It's when people feel as though they are "holier than thou" or feel the need to try and constantly "convert" you when I get bothered. But I respect and associate with people of all religions. Differences in people is a beautiful thing, and I love being able to explore those differences and learn new things.

nope, religion is does not affect my opinion about the topic. i think that it just depends on the reader, if he's open-minded or not. cheers!

As long as they have decent moral values, they are free to believe as they wish as long as I am not constantly confronted with them if they are diffrent than mine.

I dont care about religion when I choose my friends.How does it matter whether he/she is a muslim or Hindu or christian??If he/she is a good person to be a good friend for you,nothing else matters.Atleast in my case.I have many christian friends than Hindu friends even if Im a Hindu.

Definately not, I am not personally religious but woudl like to think I respect all other people no matter what race or religion. The only tome it would pose a problem is if the person continuously tried to push their beliefs on me, I would respect there views but not be happy if it was rammed down my throat.

I think when I become friends with someone its because we find topics of interest and things about each other that are interesting. I have strong opinions about a lot of things and strongly believe that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I am not religious at all by the way. But each to their own. I think it takes alot to make the world go around drmohamedshalata. But must admit I am not a big fan of people who cant take the light side of life or a joke.lol Happy postings to you and welcome on board.

Usually not. I don't have one, so I usually dont talk much about religion. Because of that usually my choices about friends, or friendship doesn't have anything to do about religion. OTOH, there are ppl that talks a lot of it, because the Bible tells things about "Carrying the words and teachings of the Lord", and they would use any excuse they find to keep telling me about how great God is, etc etc etc, and I hate it because I don't have a religion and fell being disrepected when I ask ppl to stop talking about that and they just won't do.

when you choose a person to be your friend you consider her personality and her qualities even if you don't have the same religion. if both of you have common interest and will get along fine then there's no problem of you being friends.

realy i don't make an attention to the religion of my friend ,but the important thing is that he must respect me and be kind and respectful
