Different beliefs are not barriers to be friends
Today is Sunday and a day for worship especially for Catholic like me. Actually, I'm not religious person, but I know how to respect every belief of different religions. In fact, I have friend who have different beliefs, but that didn't stop us from being friends.
They said that you should put Him first above other things and give the day of Sunday for Him. I'm not a churchgoer but then I'm not against those who go to church every Sunday.
I know someone who is a choir member in our church and he is the one insisting me to attend the mass too but told him that no matter where you are He will still hears you. Last night he chatted that they were going to sing today at a Chapel in our barangay and asked if I could attend but I refused. I know that attending mass is a good activity because it clears our mind in every sermon given by the priest. It becomes a way for us to look at things in a deeper sense. Though I didn't go to church today but I never forget Him every single day.
My friend from another religion
I have a friend from another religion, specifically INC(Iglesia ni Cristo). She is my best friend and has been a friend for over 10 years. The difference in our beliefs has never been an issue with us. She invited me several times to attend their Chapel to worship and I saw how disciplined each member is. Even in their worship clothes, they look too formal.
She does not believes and celebrates Christmas and fiesta is also forbidden to them. There are many taboos for them such as attending other churches and having relationships from other religion and many more.
Even though she is not allowed to have a boyfriend with a Catholic member like me, but she had a lovers from our church, in the end she still chose to marry someone of the same religion as her. They broke up but never lost respect for each other.
By the way, I was the bridesmaid for her wedding. That was my very first one I attended as bridesmaid and from other religion. I feel very welcome in their family. She chose me among her friends who are members of their church.
I am glad that she is happy now with her choice. I can say that she is right with her decision. It became easier for them to be together as husband and wife because they happened to have the same beliefs and there was no conflict.

Bakit nga kaya may ibang religion na nang iinvite? Kasi sa pagkaka alam ko tayo catholic hindi naman nang iinvite na para networking.
