Having religious friends when you're atheist
#16
RE: Having religious friends when you're atheist
Just the one.

Became friends with an old fart at the mens group I attend. We got on real well. Then he started saying some weird things. The penny dropped when he spoke of "not eating blood'

A sad old man with a Catholic background, the JW's have go their hooks into him. Hasn't ruined the friendship for me as he hasn't tried to convert me..I'm just a bit careful about what I say to him, and change the subject if he comes over a bit JW. He's still the same decent bloke I like.

I have never had a problem with with religious people, as long as they keep their beliefs to themselves. If not, then there was a problem,. At work the problem took the form of the harassment officer.
