i have a situation that deals with religion that is pesterin
Question Posted Tuesday May 1 2007, 8:53 pm
ok
so me and my best friend are pretty darn good friends
we live 4 houses down from each other so we're together most of the time
the thing that's been bugging me soooo much lately is:
she's religious.
i'm not
it may not seem like anything to worry about since we're best friend
but honestly, i feel like that is creating a wall between us. everytime we someone manage to bring anything up about religion or we're around someone who brings it up, it's always just awkward between us
i feel like it's my fault sometimes because there's no reason why i couldn't be religious
but then again, it's a choice i made to be atheist a long time ago and i've really spoken up about it in the past year or so
i don't think this should be a problem since we're such good friends but the weird thing is is that we've never talked about it. it's been pestering me SO much lately but i don't know what to say or how to say anything without making her feel all awkward and not wanting to talk to me about it
we're not really the kinds of people that can just sit there and talk to each other about such deep deep issues considering we're so different
what can i do?
any help is appreciated :D!
