A friend mocked God in my home

I see a lot of folks believe that a friend is only a friend if they believe as you do! and if not throw them away, I am sure glad Jesus didnt feel this way,he would have thrown me away a very long time ago.
Instead he waited for me and stuck with me,till i finally came around.
a “friend” is someone whom is there when you need them, when you dont, when they need YOU, and when they dont, they pick you up and brush you off when you fall and you should also resond the same way,they offer a shoulder to shed your tears on.
are NON JUDGEMENTAL. Yet a lot of you seem to think of a friend as someone for yourselves,to hell with them when they are not on the right path. Breaking up a friendship over religious beliefs is rediculous,if you cant agree on specifics you agree to not bring them up,

I admit it was wrong of this person to mock your faith in YOUR home, but none of us are blessed with “PERFECTION”
what happened to your “Catholic belief of FORGIVENESS”
or does this not apply in this case because its against what we believe?
ASK YOURSELF THIS, What would Jesus do? would he dismiss us? NO he wouldnt,
would he still be waiting there for us as a friend whenever we messed up (as we all do constantly)? YES.
I believe Jesus was nailed to that cross esspecially because he befriended People whom were not faithful.
so by dismissing a friend whom dont share the same faith as we do, WE ARE MOCKING JESUS.

next time this person wants to “push” thier faith just tell them you really dont want to discuss religion as if offends your beliefs,
on the other hand you cannot “push” your faith on her.
Or better yet meet on a picnic for such conversations in a Nuetral
place so noone is offended…

My normal 2 cents

WHOA!

Don’t be so quick to judge a person’s actions when you have no idea the spiritual guidance they have gotten or discernment process they have gone through.

A friend doesn’t mock your beliefs, or come to your house under false pretenses. This is called a “wolf in sheep’s clothing”. Christ was a friend, this person isn’t.

I agree with this. This person is no friend, otherwise she would respect you.

In her view, because I am a devout Catholic, I am “less evolved” foolish and something to be mocked for, as she put it, following Christianity the perfect religion for slaves.

I have a sister-in-law who is crass like that, too. We have a very large crucifix in our front room (about 48"), and she said she was “afraid” to bring her little daughter here because it would “scare” her. I was incredulous - scare her?!?!

She also continuously makes fun of my head covering, calling it my “burka” and asking when I’m going to enter the 21st century. Oh yes, she is Catholic, too.

I think some people fear those with deep faith, because they don’t have it themselves. Maybe she’s envious of the relationship you have with God. She doesn’t seem to even be able to find Him.

Sometimes friends get “lost”
I am living proof and my friends stuck by me.
and trust me when i say i was lost…
I will admit i never did trash them or thier religion.

Thats why i try to get peeps to stick it out a bit with a friend
sometimes you can help them find a way back…
