No. I have lots of friend who are Christian, Jewish, Hindu, etc. It would be really hard to find a group of friends who are all Muslim and all have similar interests. Plus, it is more fun to have friends of different faiths. I just sort of base who my friends are on how loyal and sweet they are, and all of my friends are really sweet and loyal (yay for me).

no - I have friends of many faiths. All sorts of Christian faiths, a few athiest, an agnostic, a couple of jJews and one Muslim and I think a Buddhist (I'm not sure, I haven't asked, just got the impression)
We have discussed faith some, argued once in a while, but for the most part we talk about chick stuff, cuz we're chicks.

Absolutely not! What a boring, lopsided life...not to mention conversations...I'd have!
It takes all colors to make the world go 'round. I enjoy the debates & challenges put to me by those of other faiths. It forces me to dig into WHY I believe what I believe.
Ha! As a young boy when my folks would leave me alone to babysit while they went out, I'd randomly call different churches posing as a wayward kid needing advice & support. I'd lure them into religious conversations & then challenge their beliefs! It's amazing what a Jewish kid can stir up in Christian ministers! But, this has served me well because I RARELY lose a religious discussion.

You shut your mind and close off the world. But why would you do that? I have friends who are both religious and not. I have friends who grew up in Buddhist nations. We need to bring people together not separate each other.
Take it to a simple level--I like tomatoes, my brother doesn't. Should I disown him because he doesn't fit my tomato-loving world? Same thing with religion...it should be tolerant of other religions and even of those who do not believe in anything. Personally, my religion is sports and I worship in the cathedrals known as ballparks and stadiums.

Heck no. That would be to stop growing mentally. If I was only exposed to people exactly like myself, how could I ever know about new ideas or different viewpoints.
I like associating with a variety of people. It's more exhilarating and just plain fun.

Nope, never. That would be utterly selfish to keep Jesus "all to yourself" AND disobedience to the Great Commission...
...but my best friend is. God's Word states, "Walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor sit with the sinners." This means your closest confidants, to work out your spiritual walk with...

No. I think that even if people are of a different faith then it is just that much better because you are able to set that good example that your personal faith is supose to potray.
