The Right Attitude

When a person tells another that they are not of the same religion the recipient then makes a decision as to whether they will enter into a discussion or not. However, by keeping an open mind, we can have a really good discussion and maybe learn something. This of course doesn't mean that you will accept the other persons religion or even consider attending their church. You are a person with total free will and you are to maintain total control over your thoughts and actions and not allow another person to persuade you to accept their religion if you really don't want to.

If we reject another persons religion 'out right' we are expressing our personal prejudice and are unwillingness to listen to them. We may feel justified in our action or reaction, but is it really the correct one?

We may have been given an opportunity to learn a lesson and be able to help yourself and the other person become more than what you/they seem to be. It is through verbal communication that we are able to express ourselves and learn from each other.

Not everyone believes what we believe and may even have a different opinion on a particular subject.  It is up to us to be a good listener and express our opinion in a way that doesn't up set the other person.  Up-setting others happens way too often through us expressing our selves too forcibly and this should be avoided. The right attitude at the beginning can keep a friend or other wise loose one.
