Do most of your closest friends have the same belief on GOD as you? or different?

Question

As a Christian most friends of mine are Christian I also have close friends in the Jewish faith and 1 Buddhist friend..

I never had had a friend who was an Atheist , Muslim or Hindu
or Pagan.. If I did I would tell them about Jesus and that he is the SON of GOD and they proably would not opt to be friends
but maybe they would and see the light which would be awesome

What about you?

Answer 1

a true friend would accept you how you are doesn't matter what your religion is.. and you would do the same.. Being in a different religion doesn't make you evil.. I have friend that have different religion.. As long as they respect my religion, i will do the same..

Answer 2

No. I am Pagan and the majority of my friends and family members worship different Gods than I do. Some are Christian, most are also Pagan, many are Atheist.
There have been alot of Sons of Gods in our history. But if people give me a hassle about my religion, I just nod and smile and leave at the first opportunity. Bad manners on their part do not justify bad manners on my part. I don't choose hang out with people who can't grasp the basics of etiquette. If my friends insisted on preaching, well, they wouldn't be my friends. Pagans don't recruit, and we expect the same courtesy.

Answer 3

Different. VERY different! And we get along great because while our religions are different, our way of viewing the world and how people should treat each other are very much the same. We also respect each other's beliefs, so the question of "Well, I'm Pagan and you're Christian so one of us has to be wrong and has to change or else we can't be friends anymore" never comes up.

Answer 4

I am a Christian, and I do have many friends who are Christian as well, although a lot of our individual beliefs about the little things tend to vary depending on which denomination we grew up in. I also have a best friend who Buddhist, have a few Jewish friends, and have several agnostic friends.

Answer 5

i'm a Christian (even with the actual undeniable actuality that i'm no longer one hundred% classic and have a tendency to lean in route of Wiccan beliefs, and belive in technology) My husband is Atheist. we've diffrent belifes yet we've a similar values. also i do no longer belive in each thing the Bible says. My mom is a Buddhist. My dad is an Agnostic Jew. My brother is Catholic. My sister replaced into Wiccan. maximum of my friends are both Christian, Athiest, or Wiccan now that i imagine about it. We get alongside fairly nicely. We not in any respect strive against or bicker about faith because all of us have understand for eachother beliefs. (except for my mom, yet she is yet another tale) :)

Answer 6

I'm friends with all sorts of folk, even if their belief is opposite of mine as long as they are friendly and respectful I have no problems.

Yes, I am a Asatruar and I do have a Christian friend. *surprise surprise.* I'm also friends with a lot of Atheists, friends with a few Muslims, a Hindu, two Buddhists, Wiccans, various assorted Pagans, etc...

Answer 7

No, most have quite different beliefs than I do. They're all over the place, really - A to Z.

I do have a few friends who are evangelical about their Christianity, but they're cool with the fact that I'm not interested in hearing a conversion routine.

Answer 8

All of my close friends are Christian... I am Pagan. We discuss Religion, but they do not try to convert me. Personally, I don't base my friendships/relationships on what religion a person is. And I don't quit a friendship just because they don't agree with my views. I wouldn't, however, put up with someone constantly trying to convert me... that is not what friendship is about.

Answer 9

I have friends who are;
Rastafarian (1)
Buddhist (1)
Christian (a number)
and 2 who lean towards Islam
and a number of Muslim friends.

Answer 10

Most of my close friends are Pagan. I cannot imagine having friendship with someone who would think my gods were false, or disrespect my beliefs so much to wish me to change them.

No atheist, Buddhist, Satanist or Jew that I know would do this.

Answer 11

Almost all of my friends share the same beliefs as me. Because they all belief everything the Bible says just like I do. I totally know what your saying about the athiest not wanting to be friends. I do have some friends that believe other things than me, but I am trying to get them saved!!!!
