Sadly, yes. But it's okay. If that's how they feel, it's their loss more so than mine.. I don't like it, but not much I can do about it.

Over the years most of my friends have become very religious. When I would come to visit they seemed to want to drive the point home to me that I need god in my life. Praying at the drop of a hat. Telling me "See, wasn't that easy, god is aways ready to listen." or "He's always with us." needless to say it became harder and harder to do things with them. Eventually we just stopped talking. It's been a fews years and their concern for me obviously wasn't that great. I haven't moved or changed my phone number, they have not tried to contact me at all. ----- Sorry my reply is so long, I obviously need to get that off my chest. Thanks.

If I had, I didn’t notice … as I likely avoided them..

Nope.

Many close childhood friends drifted away since they found out I did't believe in God, not anyone in the family.

. . . how did you get to level 3 by joining today and one referral, one post -- no comments ?

Yes I had to refer a friend of mine

Referral is one hundred points alone...

@Cutiebeauty is that a wrong thing to do ?

@MelissaAshley . . no, I didn't intend to imply that. I just seemed (been a while since I was level 3) that even with the 100, level 3 was quick -- on one day.

@MelissaAshley no, it's not wrong at all ☺
