when ever we speak. it seems he influences a sinful side of me. he goes as far as hitting me with cheap insults calling me an asian man. even though i am i like to be referred to as american or southern man. even though i ain't really southern.
he believes in false gods or idols. he believes in stupid religions where you just like live, you live for the world. and then reincarnate. something like there is a god but he doens't know who it is. just stupid stuff.
i am christian. what should i do. not too long ago he tried to do tarot cards on me. and he believes in non-sense stuff like astral-projection.

He did tarot cards on you? Oh my the horror!
Seriously, you are the one who is being judgmental, your friend can pick up on that and that's the most likely reason he is "hitting you with cheap insults". If you had more respect for your friend, he'd probably have more respect for you.

Don't hate your friend because he believes in things that are different than the things you believe in! THAT isn't very Christian-like.
AND I have astral projected before, as well as am able to use tarot cards, when there is something to see. I'm sorry that you feel that this is 'stupid stuff' but it sounds as though your friend is either Pagan or Wicca. There is nothing WRONG with this, and this is from me, my pagan husband, our pagan children, and our coven of 18.
May you gain wisdom from this ignorance. So Mote It Be!

Well, if you think his views are stupid, that's not very tolerant of you. Just tell him to back off a bit, if he is irritating you. There's nothing wrong with that. Seething in silence does nothing. Plus, you must take his beliefs with a grain of salt. He can believe differently than you, maybe some far out stuff even. Just listen, and politely disagree. If it bothers you so much...well, maybe you shouldn't be friends. Or just simply let him know you kind of want to stay away from this particualr topic.
To answer your question, YES. You are definately annoyed with your friend. ONly you can tell if you are hateful.

It's no insult to be called an Asian man just don't let him call you a slope or a slant. You should get a different friend. You sure you ain't Southern. If you keep that A/H for a friend you deserve all he gives you.

I argue that your religion has no foundation just like his but that's not really important. I'm Asian-American and unfortunately I've grown resentful of people making a big deal out of my race. I never wanted to be that person who only hangs out with people of his own race but I'm not left with many options. It's humiliating to be treated differently. The only people I can be close to outside my race are girlfriends so if someone can't take you seriously because of your appearance just distance yourself and see if he still tries to hang out with you. Personally I've dropped all those friends out of my life.

You should never feel hateful for someone who rejects what you believe to be the truth. If you hate him for it, that must mean you are insecure about your own faith or the truth of your own religion. If you are confident in your religion, the only possibly negative emotion you should feel toward your friend is sadness. Because if you know where his false doctrines and spirituality leads him, you would feel sad for him and just hope that one day he changes. But you cannot change anyone, you just need to concentrate about your own faith and let people dig their own graves. If they ask you what is the truth, tell them, but don't make it your duty to control everyone else's faith.

Pray to God if you feel something is wrong.
Earlier in my life, I was very attached to friends and I loved them more than they do and got severly hurt many times. So always use to feel lonely and bad. But God cuts my realtionships with bad friends. I did have many friends in all religions, but some even though they were christians were bad.
Our God really lives. I have felt His presence and He listens every real prayer to Him. So just tell Him.

He calls you Asian when you are and believes in a different religion?
Clearly you can't have such a person as a friend.

i would still be nice and friendly however you dont have to be close to him. i would distant myself with him. pray for him as well. if he cont. to bother you first if he is your friend then talk to him. i have many friends who dont believe. they know i dont drink and respect that. some would ask constantly tell i asked them not to. they dont anymore. just like if you are not mormon or jehovah witness. you dont have to be rude to them and at the same time you dont have to invite them in. nothing against your friend but if you talk to him and he does not care then he is obvious not a good friend. and i would find new friends like from church rather they go to yours or not. the Bible says as christians we are in this world but to not be of this world. it says love your enemies. does not say you have to love the things they do. just the person. but also to not put yourself in situations that tempt you to sin.
and as i said if you think about it you dont hate him just the stuff he does. as is most cases when you think about it. also the Bible tells us that those who dont believe will call us names for his names sake. so when people call me names i am thankfull as should you. for they have proven the Bible to me. just like those who are not christians and say they are your friend will turn you in. even our own family will. anyways as i said just pray for him and distant yourself. but if you have not told him how you felt then you cant complain tell you have. some people do things and not mean it in a bad way. if he cont. after you talk to him or say i dont care how you feel then you know he is not really a friend and then just not hang out. and be thankfull he calls you names he probally does because you are christian and then you can be cool he just proved the Bible. thanks. and move on.
