( mainly for religious people). Some social questions between you and certain groups of people?
Ello everyone, well at college two days ago a guy i know( not as a friend, just, i know him, lol) was talking about racism in one lesson and it turned into a conversation between a few people about problems between certain groups of kids in our school and their religions as a whole. Anyway i assumed just about everyone knew i was an Atheist but he didn't. He was kind of shocked and said that's really sad. ( I didn't want to get into an argument about how i am not depressed that i don;t believe in God).
But it made me think about a few things:
1. If you are religious/Atheist and your friend is not, how often do you tactfully mention the fact they are wrong( in your opinion) and really they should join your religion/lack of one, if you do at all?
2. This one applies more to religious people: ( assuming you would befriend someone who was a homosexual) Would you treat them like everyone else in terms of respect and such. Also would you ever comment about the fact you believed what they were doing was wrong and how they should try and change themselves( this kind of assumes you think homosexuality is a choice,which many seem to)?
3. If you are religious/Atheist and your friend is of a different religion/ has one. Say Islam and Christianity, Christianity and Hindu etc. How often, if at all, would you discuss the fact you thought they were on the wrong path/ were deluded?
