I'm not even going to start the debate.. is their a god or isn't their, but god or not, that's what I'm stuck with.
that's what she couldn't accept. she thought god would completely heal me

Yah sadly when some people find a method that works for them then they resort to shoving it down everyone throat thinking they are doing what's best. I'll usually listen and let them know I'll consider it. If they continue to push I'll be polite and say "if we cant be friends with different views then we need to go our separate ways". It's natural to feel and push others to follow what they are into, but if brought up and they can't respect your choice then that's it for me. Once we have too many differences then that's when the friendship comes to an end. Having things in common is a big factor to friendships to work.
