Respect?

0

Long story shot i have been bestfrineds with my best frined for 4 years year 8- year 11 but one thing has always annoyed me. I am religious, I believe in God and i dont ever try to force my views onto her and i respect that she isnt religious, i dont talk about my religion that much, unless i think it is a cool fact or its interesting information, i know what is interesting to me may not be interesting to her and the conversation dosent last long ever, its probably less then a minute, but everytime i bring a small thing up like the meaning of something that is religious, she just utterly disrespects me and my views and tells me the complete oppisite, telling me i am wrong and then chnages the subject . should i just stop talking about it completely? am i at fault? do i not deserve the same respect that i give her? i dont like to bring my religion up much, but its apart of me, its apart of who i am, its not like i talk about it all the time, but when i do she is just rude about it.

You should definitely explain to her that you will respect her views if she respects yours. Ask her if it bothers her when you talk about religion. If she says yes, try to be respectful of her and not bring it up. If she begins to insult you when you ask her, then I think that you need to distance yourself. However, if you can, please try and compromise with her. I personally have a lot of very religious friends even though I myself am not religious. I know that you and your friend can work this out.
