...had a very close friend or relative flip a 180 and you lost them because of their newfound religious beliefs?
I can't go into a great deal of detail, so here are the basics:
A friend of mine had a spiritual crisis in her household this past week, and now she is full-on into God and church and the Catholic religion. Now, she's questioning if I might be evil and has 180-degree changed several other things that made her who she was.
In all seriousness, I'm bugged out.
I understand that people have those life-defining moments or paradigm shifts that occur, and I'm not going to judge her for hers, but it's like she's a totally different person. I have counted on her for years to be a certain way, and out of nowhere, that person has vanished. I think I'm losing a friend because of religion.
Any advice as to how to handle this, because I'm honestly a little freaked out about it. I don't knock anyone's religion or choices, but something about the God thing and how quickly people change and write others off over it--it just seems eerie.
