I'm a Atheist non-religious type..
I support most other forms of religion..
Ok I've been talking to someone who lives in Morocco and who Muslim.. that's all fine and dandy..
But now he's been trying to force his view onto me and trying to get me to change..
that's where I draw the line.. I'll support you and everything but don't try to change my view on religion, it's not going to work.. I've been telling him in so many words he won't change my view and not change my religion..
Now I liked talking to this person, but now I'm thinking of deleting him from my friends list..

Well for a religious matter was that RM and I broke up...
Very delicate point, but since that happened, i swear I will only be next to people who sahre my religion and beliefs, otherwise its a reason to fight!

If I was in your shoes, I would tell him as gently as possible you enjoy being where you are as an athiest and if he has a hard time with that then it's probably time to remove his name from your friends list.

I have found over the years that sometimes you have to agree to disagree.

Well I am a Christian but I agree with Denise sometimes we agree to disagree.

People shouldn't try to change others. Surely you're the way you are because you want to be that way.

I think some people see atheism as a lack, that perhaps he is trying to fill. Perhaps if you make it clear that nothing is missing from your life, he would get the hint.

Its one thing to share what you believe in but to push it on others is drawing the line.
If he offered to share things and you accepted thats one thing. But to force it is wrong.
He may just be doing his religious duty and trying to convert others into his religion.
But do tell him honestly how you feel and if he doesnt change then you will have to end the friendship.

Proselytizing is wrong. It's what I find wrong with most kinds of organized religions and political beliefs.
