I kinda get the vibe that there's been some issues here.

I just wanted to kinda give an example of how different people can do more then just coexist but love and respect one another too.

My family have a sort of Christian based belief, my father is a minister, my mother and sister and devote believers. Even my husband has sort of a Christian based belief as well.

I believe differently then they do. I won't go into detail about my beliefs, but there was a dark period for me. I sort of resented faith, like it had back stabbed me. It's all come clearer to me though this last year. Still, my beliefs are much different then those who are close to me in my life.

How we get along and respect one another is to listen. Not necessarily understand. My sister is very religious (hard to believe I know), but she is a God fearing individual, she loves God. She'll talk about her relationship with God. Instead of telling her she's wrong or I disagree, I just listen.

My close friends range from Christian to Catholics too, yet we remain very close friends....and can even discuss religion and spirituality. It is possible for differences to get along!

We've all made the mistake of being hard headed at one time or another, I had once been very cold towards religions. In a sense I was angry towards people and their beliefs and as soon as a person mentioned anything about God or belief I'd go on a atheist rampage. I can say, it's a huge mistake to demean others beliefs. Every person uniquely accepts their high power differently. I regret ever telling somebody they were wrong, just as much as I regret others telling me I'm damned. It's equal in it's essence.

One thing most faiths do agree upon, is consideration for all human kind, despite their differences I'm sure.


I just wanted to say that there's no right or wrong here and it's not even about that. There are ways of communicating spirituality without getting into religious debates, and that is by LISTENING.
