Non-christian

[izus]

being a Christian i think we are all children of one God.

my best friend is not a believer in anything, he believes in himself, do i condemn him absolutely not... he's a great guy he'll will do anything for anyone. we sometimes get into the conversation of whether there is a God or not. he always says "ohh thats such a nice story" he says that just to get me bent. do i think less of him?? no way, he's a great person. i do wish that one day he might have the same thinkng that i enjoy. all i can do is pray for him. he says "i dont need your prayer" DONT PRAY FOR ME!!

oh well i still do

My interaction with you, or anyone else, would be conditioned by things such as your personality, you attitude toward me, the conditions framing our interaction, etc. Unless you wore your non-Christianity on your sleeve it wouldn't even be a factor in typical interactions.

 

At present I work mostly with Muslims in the Middle East. I react to them as people ... individuals with their own personality and attitudes. Occasionally we even discuss religion. I've never had a problem with them in this area.

 

To use a typical Chinese expression, a "good heart" is what is important.

Very Well articulated. I couldn't have said it better. I don't care if someone doesn't beleive, I can respect them..... As long as they respect the fact that I deserve to be respected. I don't generally start conversations about religion. Many people may not know i'm a Christain at work, but i do not hide the fact. I do frown on people who just cuss all the time. I think that is a respect issue and a lack of inteligence.

 

Heck, I will lose it sometimes and forget myself, but 99.9% I try to be a calm rspectful person...I don't like me when I'm angry. My ex has had the ability to get me to stray away friom that at times and I blame that on my weaknesses. I don't respond as much anymore, but it has upset me sometimes when in the past. I pray that I'm better now.
