[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha, I've sometimes wondered about "interfaith" relationships as an atheist.

I have some friends who are religious and incredibly lovely people, but as a lifelong atheist (both parents were atheists) I can't help viewing religion as irrational. If something very bad happened to me or to my spouse or child and a religious friend said something like "this is all part of God's plan," that would certainly be the end of that friendship.

Either you're a troll, or as bad as OP. [/quote]

I don't know, I'm a Christian and think "this is all part of God's plan" is a horrible and not even slightly comforting thing to say.  I would definitely consider it offensive to say to an atheist or to someone whose religious doesn't have a single omnipotent god and given the diversity of interpretations of God even in monotheistic religions I don't think it's a good thing to say to anyone unless you belong to the same church and know their personality well enough to be absolutely sure they will find it comforting.[/quote]
