how do you deal with problems abouy your faith? (if you have
hey :]
all my life i've been born and raised in a christian household. My family have always been that way. I'm pretty open about it, but lately, alot of my "so called" friends have ditched me because of what i believe in. It got to the point where it would really bothered me but i figured that they aren't really my friends. But not to the point where i would harm myself. You sound like a bunch of smart people and i was wondering how you deal with problems like mine or hpw you think i should handle the issue.

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
It depends why they've stopped being your friend, in my opinion.
Have you been saying that your religion should be the only religion? That your beliefs are better, that everyone should cherish & idolize GOD for what he/she can do?
If so, you've obviously been pushing your beliefs on them & that can cause people to walk away from your life. No one wants something shoved down their throat, so if that's what you're doing, try to refrain from that. No one religion is right, and all religions have some type of flaw. Not everyone can follow the same religion, and some people tend to make their own version of a religion with views gathered from many different religions.
If you weren't doing any of that & they were walking away on their own & blaming it on your religion, that's a different story. That just shows that they're shallow & not someone you should associate yourself with anyways. Just make sure you're not pushing anything on anyone because that always make a huge difference when it comes to religion.

I have had this same problem.
My only advice is to pray for them to find their way and to have a happy life. If you forgive people for hating you, life becomes so much easier and enjoyable.
The people who don't like your faith are probably not worth having as friends, since it's such an important part of your life.
