I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness so I understand all there is to understand about why he he is treating you this way. Basically you are considered a bad association if you do not except what he has to say about life and what happens to us all at death. You either have to become a born again christian or you become nothing to that person. It doesn't matter how long you have been friends. The thing that these religions don't preach and understand is that even Jesus himself was friends with a prostitute and they were close friends and he loved her. I'm not by any means saying that you are as sinful as a prostitute. What I'm saying is that theses religions have gotten so self righteous that they don't leave room for human imperfections and no compassion shown to those that don't believe what they have to say.

"Why is segregation so seen?" this is voluntary this modern-day day, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that people overwhelmingly frequently have a tendency to attend the churches they have been presented up in. So there is a lot of inertia. i'm white and that i've got not felt some subject inspite of the incontrovertible fact that welcomed together as i've got been in black churches. And vice versa too. churches with lots of white individuals are very mushy to this element and continuously extremely welcoming together as a man or woman of a distinctive race visits. As to why there is faith, it seems to be a stunning maximum appropriate want in lots of people together as technological be attentive to-how is lacking. traditionally even lots of scientists have been non secular, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that that has lots to do with the popular element (you attend the church you have been presented up in). i haven't any suggestion what you advise approximately ideology being evolution.

Christianity is not meant to segregate us. However, light and dark don't mix very well. He's become part of the light and wants to share that. Agree to disagree....watch his life. If Christ is truly Lord in his life you will see the change. As you watch the changes think about if you want those changes in your own life.

it's sad but this is what religion does to people it separates divides and segregates people from one another as they let it happen so don't take it personally

Religion segregates us because people let it.

the same as oil & water do not mix...
darkness does not like the light...
& spiritual things are so much different from earthly things...
it is not religion that is stopping you from talking to your friend,
theres another reason, search that reason within you...
(it's a little different for each person)

Because everyone thinks their god is bigger and tougher than the other guy's god. It's very primitive behavior, kind of like when a 4 year old says, "My dad can beat up your dad"
WTF?

separation is the essence of sanctification. if one lives, in their mind, a sanctified lifestyle they will naturally separate from those whom they consider to live mundanely.
