Let's say I have met and made a 360 friend on Religion and Spirituality and they later decide to leave that friendship, wouldn't you expect a note or a message saying why and good bye? Why would you end a friendship without explanation? And for he who has done so I want to say I wish you well in all you choose and do.

Debra, what a beautiful name. One must be careful in choosing companions and allow G-d a part in your coming together. Once a friend, always a friend. If you are only a friend when times are good and you are both in full agreement, then why have a friend at all? When we fall from agreement and times become troubled by choices and life journey's it is at this time we need a friend. It would appear that you have learned a lesson, but remain a friend to them for as the Talmud says, "should one mans unkindness made us unkind?"

You know, I'm a person who is often guilty of disappearing without letting my internet friends know where I am. My reasons are usually that some aspect of my life has become worrisome or overwhelming. Sometimes I am not at my computer for days at a time, and sometimes I am at my computer but really just don't feel like talking to anyone. I hope I haven't hurt the feelings of any of my friends this way. Sometimes I just want to be alone.
To answer the question, I choose friends based on sincerety, respect, and common interests. If I leave a friendship, it is generally because I find that one or more of these three qualities are diminishing. People do change, you know.

Real friendships can be made between people of different beliefs. Choosing to leave based on faith based differences can and oftentimes does cause at least one person sorrow. I know that I would like some sort of explanation to perhaps try and work things out but sometimes it's out of our hands.
It's hard to find things in common with people of different faiths which makes friendship a difficulty.

YES. I don't know what Catholic teaches on this. But The Bible, says: Keep "aloof" from these people. (stay away). Debra, they don't build you UP. They will tear you DOWN.
How does hanging around a lost person build your faith in daily living? How does this please, God? You can't be in 100% "Praise" mode, for the Glory of Christ, being in a company of nonbeliever's, or drastically different (Belief).
You show me a person that is a so called Christian that has Great Islam friends, and I'll show you a very disturbed uneducated Christian, in His own KJV.
Many people have tried. God warned them from the beginning. Only had they listened.
.Every Believer has got to make a choice. They can live for GOD. or they can live for THEMSELVES.
You see by your answers you are getting where GOD fits in their life.
Almost every person, said: They don't base friendship on Religious/Faith based. hello?????
Are these words harsh? They are not meant to be. These words are TRUTH. I can scripturally prove what I'm saying.
God Himself said. YOU BETTER.
.Bottom line. READ the answers.

It's only common courtesy to say why one is ending a friendship. Personally I wouldn't leave a friendship just based on faith or on ones lack of. If I disagree with someone about something, I tell them so respectfully, but if they can't respect my position, I might leave it because of that.

Well call me old fashioned, but I don't think one could go as far as to say that blogging acquaintances quite reach the level of friendship. I have grown very fond of many of my reads, but friendship involves a level of personal interaction that just doesn't happen through blogging.
A note would have been nice, but you should not feel bad about the lack of one. It was simply one of the interesting people who, for a time, passed through your life in a virtual way.

I would expect an explanation. Communication is important in any relationship. Have you asked him why he wanted to end the friendship?

I've never left a friendship because of that. I only leave them if the person doesn't seem to like me or starts acting like a jerk.

Sometimes friends need space and time. Don't worry to much. If it was a real friendship, your paths will cross again, if not then God has allowed the deception to end.
