Your Friend's Religion

For me, religion only play a small part of our friendship, all of my friends know that well, so we seldom have problem on religion disagreement, let alone talk about it most of the time, it is not something we are passionately engage in while hangout together, so far so good for our friendship with no conflict at all. You are right & correct, let the nature take it course or let God speak to him/her if God want another believer.... or may be a priest or preacher in case God is busy, his miracle way is a lot better than we mortal human way of communication. For me, he/she is my best friend and not some kind of subjects i want to proselytize into my belief system.

You are right, ckyera! Never try to force your religion on friend, it is a NO NO for me too. Talking about it is fine but don't try to convert him/her. I always respect my friend's religion belief even though i am not always agree with its doctrine; but our friendship is more than that disagreement on religion matter, it is just a trivial issue to me. Thank for sharing your view. Happy mylotting to you..

right my friend, coz if we insists our belief to them , then i guess it can create some issues between friends...all of us have our own belief & we also have our own reasons why believe or have faith on such things, sometimes, we also wanted our friends to be part of the religion we are in coz for us it is the right one, but of course we can't also take a way the fact that our friend also believes that their religion is the right one...huh! so just share things & then let nature take its course...and again, respect each other... good day!

I agree with both of you, religion is not one of the factor in having close friend. having friend from different religion background make us learn new knowledge and better understand the real world we live in. Thank for sharing in here.

i have a friend that is a muslim but that does not effect the friend ship at all because he know that i am not a muslim and i know a lot about muslims and i believe what i believe and we know what i think about muslims so don t think it is that much of an important topic i believe in christ so that is imortant to me and his religion is his do we can still be good friends despite this and also he was not born into islam so that help me alot

It shouldn't have any negative effect in friendship, it can in fact let you learn something new about another religion. I agree with you.

Hi, Pal! talking about food and religion, it is quite a delicate issue, i always careful what to cook for my friends when i had them invited for lunch or dinner especially if he /she is of a different religion belief. Most of the time i know what food is forbidden and what is allowed on my friend religion, so i am careful of cooking those that are alright for him/her to eat , but not those is forbid to eat unless he told me otherwise, no question it is a bit of inconvenient if my friend is of different religion belief system, and not allow to taste certain food. But it is his choice that i will not interfere. What is important is we have fun together and that is what matter most; whether he want to order sardine, pork or beef or even grass for his meal i have no objection and will not stop him from doing so at all. har har ha ha ha... Thank for sharing your view. Pal!

That is correct, we should enjoy the company of friends and in everyone different religion belief, but in reality, it doesn't always work that way, few are just too fixated on making others/friend to follow his or her religion belief , it is just not right as far as i'm concerned, i never understand why a few want to mix both together. Sigh!!!

That is a good way to make the friendship between friends of different religion background work. Thank for sharing.

That is correct, never pressure any of your friend to follow your religion belief, it is rude in my personal opinion. I remember i used to know one Jewish friend who refuse to visit and talk to me after i dropped his invitation to visit synagogue with him anymore, then end of our friendship. For me , it just puzzle me why someone will want to mix religion with friendship so fervently and insist a friend to become like him in religion belief, only a dictator will do that to a friend, a true friend will not force anything down your throat including religion belief, only a fake friendship will endure that.... You got a point here.. Thank for your response.

Good to hear that , ErickJ. Sometime a good friend will change his view on us when he decided to change religion belief, due to his religion influence on people of different faiths. But for me, it make no different to me what my close friend choose to believe. I am cool on that. Thank for your response.

I agree it shouldn't have any influence on our choice of friend or remain a true friendship. Religion is mainly a personal choice of one relationship with God , it shouldn't play a part in any friendship. As far as i'm concern, whatever my friend's religion belief choice is purely personal and none of my business, i am always glad for my friend so long as he /she find personal peace and happiness with religion of his/her choice, that is most important for me instead of passing judgment on him/her. Thank for the response.

I agree with that, it is just plain wrong to judge people base on their religion belief, we shouldn't be acted in this way. Thank for sharing your view here. Happy mylotting!!
