you know its really not right to make fun of other people's religions. It's really no different in asking for friends who are 20, from Europe or single. I am not offended at all if people who are of a different belief then me ask for friends. I just don't go to their forum. everyone has a right to be friends with whoever they choose.

:flowerforyou: Please, I didn't meant to be offensive I thought it was funny. Apologies if you didn't feel that way.

I don't make fun of any particular religion. Personally, I was brought up as a Catholic, due to the country and family I was raised, but my family is very liberal when it comes to it - and to most things.

What I meant by my comment was to call attention to the fact that, exactly as you say, it's the same as calling for friends who belong to a certain age group, country or status: it limits you. The moment you choose to be surrounded by people like yourself, you're delimitating boundaries and categorising yourself and others. You close yourself to novelty, you stop being curious. It's you and your own and you distance yourself from the outside even more. Personally, I think this is a waste of energy, resources, and heart.

This is a great community where people should, in my opinion, forget their 'personal' preferences and embrace others' experiences. It's not about religion, it's about fitness, and whatever god you believe in, calories and exercise will hit you the same. Enjoy that and take the opportunity to accept others entirely and surround yourself by freshness. But this is just my thought.

Peace.

Absolutely beautifully written. Very nice!!

I'm not a Christian. I'm not a mum. Does that make me un-friend-able?

I guess so. Some people are okay with excluding those who are not "like them"......

add me!

Looking for Christian friends on here to help keep me motivated
