For sure!  Those are the people who need our love and friendship most of all!\n\nIt's important to always respect one another's opinions and beliefs.

Definately.  God is a very personal thing, different for everyone.

Not necessarily.  I've seen alot with belief who step outside of what is considered moral, even by their own religions standards and then hypocritically justify it with that same religion.  I wouldn't consider that person better for their belief.  Though, on rare occaisions, I do find people with belief who have become better people for it... those are usually the one's who don't pressure others about belief.  Sad thing is, they're greatly outnumbered by those that step outside of the moral boundaries believing they are Better than others.

No, I have a strong relationship. There is a difference. Religion dictates belief while a relationship is nutured over time. I read the Bible and ask God to give me the details to understand. I have pastors that I mentor under, but I will challenge them if I think they are in error. It is not often, cause I got some great teachers.

Yes. Some people believe that when someone openly says they are a Christian, it means you are judgemental of those who aren't.

I think the key word in your question is respect.  It is entirely possible to disagree with someone and still respect them.  The other thing that we need to remember when dealing with people from other religions, is that we are representing our own faith to them.  As a Christian, my faith teaches me to love my neighbors, and it even teaches me to love my enemies.  So, I am certainly called to love people of other faiths.

Not at all. Remember, no matter what religion you believe, it was at one time the minority view and considered "alternative."  As long as the person is not following a cult, they should be allowed to worship as they choose. Some signs of a cult: members must sever all ties to friends and family who are not following the same religion (you can't even call your mom if she's not a believer), and members turn over all their worldly possessions to their religious leader.

No. Just because someone was raised with the moral teachings of Christianity doesn't mean they are Christian. Being a Christian means being born again, a choice one has to make to be.

I thought you said you are both Christian. Only pagans celebrate birthdays.

Compromise your attitude, yes. Compromise your beliefs, no. It depends on the situation. If you are talking about acting differently to make friends, no - a friend will accept you for who you are genuinely. If you are talking about adjusting your attitude to be more sensitive or "nice" then that's o.k. If you are talking about going along with situations that make you feel uncomfortable, no - you shouldn't have to participate in situations that make you feel uncomfortable. If they are true friends then they will accept that. Hope this helps.

People are people. I wouldn't advise basing your opinion of someone, as a person, on their religion. It depends. And that can be said of any group of people.

I'm Catholic and my good friend is a Christian (protestant), and my other good friend is a Muslim, we all talk about our religions, and differences among them, but we still respect each others beliefs. I think the key is to learn how to listen, understand, and respect each other.

Well, I'm an extreme left-wing liberal Atheist, and some of my BEST friends are extreme right-wing conservative Christians/Catholics.\n\nIt's pretty simple, we don't talk about it.\n\nAnd if we do, we listen to each other's opinions and move on.  We don't try to change each other's minds or disrespect our beliefs/non-beliefs.

Sometimes, but you have to make sure that its not just church you have in common. And sometimes- one can act like a spiritual person and be far from it, so as with people outside church- you have to really get to know the person. Church sometimes helps you meet good moral people- but then sometimes they are FAR from moral- so sometimes yes sometimes no. Depends on the person and the church I guess.
