do christian really want to be friend with atheist?

Answer 1

If they are descent people with values and standards (Such as not stealing, clean language, aren't going to pressure me into doing things I don't want to do, etc. You don't have to have religion to have values and standards) then I don't see why I shouldn't be friends with an atheist or any other religion. It doesn't matter what religion you are or even if you don't have a religion, if you don't have some standards, I probably won't be friends with you.

We don't even have to talk about religion if we don't want to.

Answer 2

I do not hand out a questionnaire before I make friends with some one. So I do have atheists as friends, as well as other religions, races and people of different cultures. Atheists are people too. And we have had some friendly debates, as friends, about faith. But we don't call names, or say the other is wrong, or even that they are delusional. We respect each others rights. And that is what keeps us friends.

Answer 3

Absolutely. Believe it or not, I have many, many atheist friends at the university I go to particularly. We don't judge each other's ideas, we just try to find the common ground and discuss those issues. But when it comes to religious choices, we don't really try to "convert" each other; we really just give examples of what we've learned or heard that gives credibility to our beliefs. Atheists are people, too. But some of the ones I've had the pleasure of engaging conversation with through this forum are pretty... well... obnoxiously mean.

Answer 4

Truthfully, I have never prayed for God to bring me an atheist friend, a wiccan friend, a Japanese friend, a fat friend, a rich friend, a biker friend, a married or single friend.

How you define yourself is secondary. First is, do we have anything to build a friendship on?

In truth, my older brother is an atheist, a real die hard. This same brother is the one who taught me to drive, back a trailer, tie a sailors knot, ride a motorcycle, and of course, about other men. He disowned me, when I became a Christian...........I miss him. I could still be his sister, his friend, an aunt to his children,.........we simply do not share a faith in God and in Jesus......

In short, it is not that I seek an atheist to befriend, it is that the fact you are an atheist, would not prevent me from being your friend. I would agree not to "preach" to you, but you, at times would need to know that the highlight of my day was a "religious encounter" and allow me to share something that is important to me...............

Answer 5

Of course it is not a sin for a Christian to be a friend to a atheist.

Answer 6

Depending on how your raised. Christian God says to love all. Most people do not really get along with people of different religions though.

If the Christian is religious tolerant enough, and is kind enough, they should get to know them so they can learn different ways people live life.

Answer 7

My best friend is an atheist. We have a lot in common, just not about God.

Answer 8

I'm an atheist and my best friend is a devout Pentacostal.

We have far more in common than that one difference.

It has never affected our friendship or respect for one another. Heck, he lets me babysit his girls.

Answer 9

yes of course! if they are telling you about there beliefs, dont worry! they just do it because it is something that is important to them and makes them happy and they want you to experiance that happiness too!
