She took the words out of my mouth. <BR/><BR/>I know we don't share the same beliefs, nut that doesn't make me think any less of you or not think of you as a friend. i respect and admire you on so many levels, lisa! you don't even know!<BR/><BR/>and had she not wanted to treat you the same knowing what you believe...well, IMO, that would go against her beliefs :)Leigh Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594622474522642702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2557928558578780512.post-35917658106088681022009-01-25T12:21:00.000-08:002009-01-25T12:21:00.000-08:00Just from the viewpoint of one who holds fervently...Just from the viewpoint of one who holds fervently to my own faith and Christian beliefs, and one who prays and believes in prayer--<BR/><BR/>I'd still buy you the coffee and I'd still talk to you like an old friend--in fact, I do think of you as a friend.<BR/><BR/>I don't require that people believe the same as me in order to be able to like them or appreciate them. I just require that they let me be me and appreciate my motives. They don't even have to believe that my prayers or beliefs have any affect at all as long as they know the motive by which I offer them. <BR/><BR/>There are those religious types, though, who kind of ruin it for the rest of us by adopting a holier-than-thou attitude. You know, Gandhi even said that he might have followed Christ if it hadn't been for all of the Christians. Sigh.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, those are just some of my disjointed thoughts on the subject. I thought you might like to hear the perspective from my side of the fence. <BR/><BR/>:)Nicole O'Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08502962603831947123noreply@blogger.com
