Other than on-line, how often do you discuss matters of Religion or Spirituality with other people?

Answer 1

i do it all the time. of course i go to alcoholics anonymous. which is the only place you will here Jesus referred to as one bad MFer. but my discussion are more spiritual than religious.

Answer 2

Hardly a day goes by without spiritual discussion with others. My boss is a Christian and when he is in the office in the morning, the first thing we do is have coffee and spiritual discussion! Ten minutes later we knuckle in to work, much the better for that. And when managers come for a meeting, it is started with devotions and prayer. There's also a prayer request email that does the rounds. Not everyone employed is a Christian, but they all respect the Christian ethos of the charity.

Many of my girlfriends are Christians and although we can't get together often, whenever we do, out talk is centred on the things of God - NOT shopping! And, of course, most of the folks in church are up for good spiritual exchanges. By the way, this all takes place in Scotland, in case you think I'm from another planet.

Answer 3

Sadly not that often. There are 3 things that we are taught at a very young age that are off limits in public (this meaning to everyone but your close friends and family) ... these things are :

1) Sex

2) Religion

3) Finances

..........................

but how often do I discuss religion with my family and friends, very often. I would say at twice a week I have a conversation about religion in some aspect. But of course since I am such a "disappointment" in the eyes of other Jews my opinions and knowledge are considered ZIP.

Answer 4

I have a little gaggle of friends. Some are protestant (Quaker), some are Catholic, one is atheist, and the others are "spiritual." We talk about spiritual crap all the time and really get into some good stuff: heaven is union, and hell is separation, which is one reason why sex is a blessed thing: it is union with another person, etc.

Other than these friends, I do not talk to people about religion or spirituality. If they ask me, I tell. But outside of this, I like to let my actions do my "talking."

Answer 5

If you are referring to the members of my organization, then 3-7 day/week. If you are talking about outside of that such as work, social gatherings, etc. Then almost never. I do not believe in proselytizing. Although trying to convert people to 'our' religion is encouraged by our organization (as would any) I believe people have to discover it for themselves. We should always respect and understand what people are saying. Not force some 'dogma' down their throats.

Thank you for asking.

Answer 6

My cousin and I often discuss religion. I am agnostic and she is catholic. We get into debates that sometime get a little to personal and we don't talk for a couple days. Then we are right back on it.

Answer 7

Usually while we drink a nice Cab-Sav (chilled to 69......we are tonight going to finish off a beautiful Dutch Henry Argos 87'...aged in a beautiful sterling oak cask that you can taste in the wine....), with Gouda cheese, bread, olive oil, garlic, pepper, while we play our D&D WaterDeep and Undermountain campaign.

Once a week.

Answer 8

Rather frequently. My Dad is a retired minister who enjoys discussing various religions with his friends. When I am there, I love to join in.

Answer 9

2-3 times a week face to face.

I do wonder of those who say "everyday" or "all the time" are they actually talking about religious and spiritual matters or just church related gossip or workings?

Answer 10

It is a delicate subject, and most are so closed minded and judgemental of others it is a waste of time. But to those that will listen I say no matter what name you call your faith the only path back to father is the love /fellowship path, if you are judging others ,even in the name of god you are not on heavens path.
