How do I become tolerant of religion?

I'm a Satanist in religion, and I have several Christian friends that I just can't help arguing with because I think they are wrong in their faith. They are good people and good friends but I still can't help arguing with them all the time.

Should I argue with them about their religion, or should I just say nothing about it?
Should I be more tolerant even if I can't stand their religion?
I dunno, it just fustrates me

mallic, Don't give in. Don't give up your beliefs or non-beliefs. I understand what you're saying and I feel the same way. When I answer their questions, I end up typing my fingers off, wasting a lot of time, and being real negative.
Maybe we should just let it go. They're probably not going to change, so it's really a big waste of time and you're just talking to a wall.
For me, I think I'm just going to try staying out of the religion questions. The Christians seem to want you to get angry or else why do they ask?.

ignorance is bliss. you do want your friends to be happy right? all you can do is work on your tolerance and patience. there are no right or wrong answers in spiritual matters, only what works best for one's self. try to remember that what they believe works well in their lives. and do the (hahahahaha) christian thing- treat them as you wish to be treated.

Christianity is a great religion satanism is gay

say nothing. why is it your business?
are they trying to push their religion down your throat? if so, then defend your beliefs. if they respect you enough to let you believe as you feel best, they deserve the same consideration.
growing up jewish I hated, and I can't stress hated enough, the arrogance, lack of respect for me and my religion and lack of sensitivity when christians felt the need to try to 'convert' me. when I wouldn't agree with them, they would argue and get angry.
I no longer attend temple or belong to any religion but I still get a sick feeling and the alarm bells go off when I hear someone say, 'let me tell you about jesus'.
be comfortable in your beliefs and allow them to be comfortable with theirs.

Ask yourself whether it is their religion or the friends you can't stand. If it's their religion and they aren't in your face about it, just agree with them that area will be off limits for discussion.

As a note, you will NEVER change any one's mind concerning religion by talking or arguing about it.

LaVeyan Satanism places great emphasis on free will. If that is your path, then you should accept other's people's freedom to believe as they choose so long as they do not impose it upon you. This type of Satanism also says that most people will be sheep so, again, why try to make wolves of sheep?

This is my perspective based on Satanism as I understand it. It does not necessarily reflect my own personal views.

Well, if they're willing to argue with you and still be friends, then why not do it? After all, they're probably the one starting the argument half the time.

If it's jeopardizing your friendship, you have to decide what's more important to you; self expression or their friendship.

If it helps, here's what I do - detente. I don't bring it up, but if they bring it up, may dog help them.

One of my friends is a diehard christian, another is a stubborn athiest and I follow my own set of beliefs, so every single time the topic of religion comes up in conversation, there's an argument. Christian-friend tries to convert me and says I'm going to hell, athiest-friend goes off at christian-friend for believing in a farytale, I have to recite my beliefs all over again, causing us all to stop speaking for at least 24 hours. So we've all decided to change the subject whenever religion or faith comes up, and then we don't argue.

Thats easy you are not at peace with yourself or you wouldn't be arguing with them

Satanists believe that Satan is God? How does a satanist worship?

'Satanism has been referred to as an 'unreligion' in the sense that it does not subscribe to the notion of an anthropomorphic deity and, by extension, some being who must be worshiped, its most common misconception.'

There is no worship is Satanism, if only the worshipping of yourself. Most Satanists are egotistical and selfish, however we believe that is someone cannot treat themselves right, they have no hope of treating others right.

Satanism is a non-religion. Fact!!! You believe or you don't. Satanism is a 'belief' in Satan...? If you believe in satan,Then you have to believe in Christ..No? One doesn't exist without the other...Surely??

dude, Satan doesn't begin and end with Christianity.
For example, Lucifer was a greek god of enlightenment. Christianity twisted it for their own uses. Same with Satan. Satan means: Opposer, or oppisite.

So we a basically Oppisite-ism, opposing the staus quo tradional moral beliefs.
please, read up on a religion before you denounce it.

in that case,my friend ,you have answered your own question.you have no religion. To believe in an opposite,is still to believe in that opposite. You surely don't believe in Satan the myth,but Satan the meaning. So... Your question again?

Please Mallic, Accept my apology. After thinking about it...You're right and I should think more. Sorry
