religious friends

[puglover]

I used to love going around asking people what their religion is and generally most people told me. I would continually question them of their beliefs.
Until, one day I met someone that wouldn't tell me.
They thought that their beliefs were a private and personal matter.
I didn't know how to respond to this. In fact I was eager to know and ended up very rude in pestering her to find out. lol.
Can you not share interests with someone without the conversation of religion?
Or if it comes to a spot of non-agreeance to simply disagree and move on?
(EVF: Could you not just say - okay we don't have the same views and continue to play your game? Because otherwise you are going to loose out if you keep sitting there licking your wounds. If you are going to have a conversation with somebody about religion .. you are need an awareness of the impact it may have on their emotions.)
I think if you are to approach somebody on their views there needs to be an element of respect in your choice of words. Are you there to prove them wrong? It sounds to me as though some atheists need to work on their listening skills. If you want to argue - fine but make sure it is the right place.
And yes I still think that some religious views are crazy. lol. And yes I am still agnostic with some atheist views.

I have been trying to think of what I might do for my 21st birthday and mind you - this is no easy task. My friends are all of different views. I get along with all of them. All respect my views and I respect theirs. The only thing is I can't help but feel nervous.. because I sense putting them all in a room together will set off a bomb. All my friends have never come all together as of such.
