How to Deal?
Me and two of my girlfriends were inseparable until one day one of them stopped speaking to another. She, who is Jewish, confided in me and said that because my other friends’ religion believes in Jesus Christ, she can no longer tolerate her. Finally, she got up the nerve and emailed my “Jesus” believer friend stating that she will no longer be friends with her. My “Jesus” friend was devastated; she couldn’t understand what is going on. I couldn’t either because my “Jewish” friend had stopped calling me also. She could go for days, sometimes weeks without calling me. I couldn’t believe that they just ended their friendship like that. Finally, I saw my “Jewish” friend at a birthday party, after not seeing her for 3 months and she was acting like nothing happened. I don’t know how to act around her when I will see her next. We both socialize with the same people, so it’s no doubt I will see her somewhere again soon! I don’t know if by hanging with my “Jewish” friend I am hurting my “Jesus” friends’ feelings. My “Jesus” friend has married into a “Jesus” family and now doesn’t hang with any of her old girlfriends besides me. What should I do?

I can certainly see why your "Jesus" friend would be upset. It isn't like she did anything wrong. She is being wrote off for something she has probably believed in her entire life.
I am not a really religious person in the belonging to a church sense. This type of thing is part of the reason why. I think people should be judged by the way they live their lives. I doubt either friend is any worse than the other personality wise. I feel sad that your "Jewish" friend feels she has to write off anyone who doesn't believe the same as she does. But, whatever gets her through life...
I think you should remain friends with both. Try not to let it bother you. Maybe they will reach an agreement not to let it matter one day. If not then I doubt you can change the thinking so, best not try. So hang out with whichever one suits what your doing, or feel free to say you are both invited and go with the one who cares enough for your friendship to show up. :)

I think your jewish friend is overreacting. I am Christian, and have many jewish friends. Religions shouldn't end a friendship just like that.
Tell your Jewish friend that you want to know why she will not talk to you and your Christian friend anymore. Try to get the group back together. But avoid talking about religion, if it is a touch subject.
Hope I helped. Good luck!

You should try talking to your Jesus friend about this , you shouldn't hide this becuase eventually she'll fin out,things will go worse so tell her that diffrence in religion should not matter when you just want to be friends with someone,that god said himself that all us of should get along like brothers , sisters, and that it doesn't matter how different we are.As far as your friend who believes in Jesus you should keep the friendship,try convincing your"Jewish" friend that why should it matter what religion you are just to be friends with someone if you don't convince her then you would have to choose one of them.Good luck!

well there is not much you could do if you "Jewish" friend does not want to be friends with your "Jesus" friend it is her decision to make
since your “Jewish” friend was acting like nothing happened try doing the same just put this thing in the past and hang out with both of them
you could also try getting both of them in the same room so you could say what you have to tell them because honestly if they two have been friends for a while and all of a sudden one of them decides to just throw away a friendship just because of religous beliefs thats not right
friends are supposed to except their friends for who they are
hope this helps if you need anything else drop one in my inbox ♥
