WWJD = What Would Jesus Do?

The saying is usually put on a bracelet, or something, to reminded the bearer to only do what Jesus would do.

Depends on the person.

It can be very difficult to have a conversation with religious people.
But I'm sure they feel the same way about non-religious people.

I have some "friends" that are religious, but it is difficult to really talk to them about anything. We tend to stick to neutral topics such as Cars, Computers, Sports, etc.

But I can't really talk about anything meaningful with them because our views are so fundamentally different.

Try convincing a law student that the legal system is wrong.
Or try convincing a conventinal doctor that he shouldn't practice medicine, but should just sprinkle herbs on his patient.
etc etc etc.

Everyone has their own beliefs and any time you meet someone who's beliefs are fundamentally different it's going to be hard to talk to that person.
I personally enjoy the debates when I can find a reasonable person to discuss with. But it's certainly difficult to have friends among the opposing groups.

As for extremists...well you get extremists in everything...and by and large they aren't really good for much.

CorporateRecreation - I take it you are not truley a believer?

And I hope people don't use it just as an excuse. I'm sure they base what they say on the Bible and everything. Just from my own experience, there is a big difference between the convos with a religious person as apposed to someone who doesn't believe

My advice is to just let the thing go by, and not attack the person. As you know, religion is a sensitive subject, especially if religion has played a role in their lives since the day they were born...

PM me if you wanna talk more about this. I'd be happy to discuss it with you
