my best friend in the whole world is atheist.

Omg im in complete shock. Me and my best friend ever are brothers (might as well be). And i moved away and we both have had hard times since then. And we are depressed. I was just told by his gf that he is aitheist. I dont know what do to really. I can't believe it. I mean we are really close, as close as you can get. We have talked about jesus and god and stuff. I never thought this would happen. I think its his gf because she and her friends are the reason he is depressed and she is aitheist to. i just dont know what to do can someone help me?

I would suggest talking with your best friend. Let him know your worries. All that you can really do is talk with him & pray for him. You might could invite him to go to church with you, too. I'll keep you and your friend in my prayers.

Accept them who they are and what they believe. They do that for you, right?

Honestly, So what!

You have a friend that became an athiest according to somebody else. Even if it came directly from you friend. You should be accepting of his choice. This friend knows that you believe, you need to continue being this persons friends and just show your friend your love, your caring and he will see how God leads your life and he will see your example and may eventually come to it on their own. Never push, never bang anything on the head. Be understanding and caring and non judgemental. That is all you need to do. God in heaven will reward you for this.

I agree with Northwind and with Jesushelper.. my anwser would be the same... SO WHAT IF HE IS AN ANTHEIST!!!! Whats the big deal.
Im catholic and my husband is athiest ( agnostic )

You accept people for who they are not for what the believe in in what they dont

Why is this so shocking to you?
Why would it change how you feel about your bestfriend?!

I guess I will agree, so what, perhaps if you are living a good Christian life he will see the love of Christ in you (if you are a close follower) if you are not a close follower, he will only see that christianity is just a sunday thing and has little value, You are an example for others, and that is how christianity is suppose to be spread by others seeing our examples.

But don't be surprised there are preachers in the puplit sunday morning that are antheist, and many in the pews every sunday that are antheist also. This happens because of people gonig to church for social issues.

And I have friends who are buddist, and many who are pretend Christians who play church, ( since they don't live any level of Christian faith)

I'm with everyone else. What are you getting all upset about? I can't understand why you, especially as a non practicing Christian, should be even remotely concerned about your friend's religious beliefs.

I have to suspect that something more is going on here that you aren't telling us. Your reaction is way disproportionate to the situation.

It should not matter whether he is an athiest or a sign painter he is your brother (in spirit) so accept and love him for who he is, not what you want him to be.
