Will you make freinds with someone with different beliefs as yours?

I've met a lot of friends from different cultures, with different beliefs and customs. Some of them got close to me. I believe that there's no harm in making friends with them as long as we respect each other and as long as we enjoy talking with each other and being with each other's company.

Yes, definitely. As some of the posters already said, it all has to come down to respect. I have friends that have different beliefs from mine and we do get into healthy disagreements. Sometimes, we just try to avoid such topic, sometimes we go at it. But we do not try to force our beliefs on our friends. At the end of the day, even with such differences, my friends and I know that we will be there for each other, no matter what.

I'm a Muslim I have a lot of friends they are Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Atheist, Budhists, etc. Whats the difficult to go with this? while I go to prayer they used to wait me. On our festival days they used to come to our home to share joy and food and we do the same. I have neighbours of different faiths as well. For all kind of dealings it's just normal, but our belief don't go together, thats it.

I am very open minded so if a friend believes something diffrent then me I don't let it get in our way.

Sure eventually you will agree on something lol ... but really as long as you both respect eachothers opinions and beliefs things will be fine.. as for customs we all have those and once again it is all about respect.

yes, most of the time since i live on long island, most people have the same thinking as you, its not really about what they believe in its more on how they act on those beliefs which can change whether or not you will be friends with them.

As long as we can each respect the others beliefs and not criticize or make fun of the other persons beliefs then I see no reason to not be friends. I was baptised Catholic although I don't follow it and most of my family here...my Mom, Stepdad, 3 brothers, my late sister-in-law and a friend were all baptised Mormon. I don't follow the Mormon religion b/c I don't agree with alot of it but I have went with them to family get togethers, sat through a service or two with them and I respect their choice to belong to that church. They know I don't agree with it so they don't send the Missionaries around to my home and they don't nag me to join. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

I still would make friends with someone different from me. Knowing who I am would not shaken me if I am being friends with someone different from me. I will always consider the experience as something to learn from.

surely, i have lots of friends who got different beliefs than i do..i am a christian, i got friends from different christian churches too, i got muslim friends and even got wiccan friend. sometimes we debate, but we all respect our beliefs..we share about our different practices and learn from them. we try to be as broad minded as we can, one thing that bonds us, we are all filipinos.

One of my best friends is very religious and dedicated to her faith. I am agnostic on most days. I haven't found a religion that fits for me. Anyway, the both of us have been able to talk about our different views without arguing and still, we both enjoy hanging out on a regular basis. Both my friend and I have the same opinion on our different beliefs. We're very supportive of the "Whatever floats your boat" stnadpoint. I don't push my beliefs on her and vice versa. It has worked wonderfully for over 2 years. I hope you found this helpful!
