If you really respected someones religion you wouldn't bash it or judge it. I'm catholic and only God can judge. (If your atheist this doesn't have to apply to you) So what if she wants God to show her sister the way its her way of thinking if your atheist it doesn't mean you need to talk about it like you understand everything about someone elses religion its what she believes and was taught just like if you said you wanted someone to be atheist it was your way of thinking how you were taught. It doesn't mean you need to tell her she was wrong it was her way she was taught and her faith and what she believes is what she believes. Deal with it! shut up all of you stop fighting over religion and get out of other peoples buisness. If you really respected someones religion you wouldn’t bash it or judge it.

What she actually said was, "God will show her the way and that gives me peace with her belief." Fia believes in a God (I'm assuming) who loves His children and wants to one day welcome them into His eternal kingdom. She's praying for her sister. I pray for non-believers all the time. Do I force them to listen to me preach or drag them to my church. No, of course not. I know that that would just turn them off even farther. But, because I do believe in God, I believe that those who accept the Lord will spend forever in heaven. I know you don't believe in heaven. But if you did believe in heaven, wouldn't you want your friends and family to be in heaven? Would you want them to suffer for eternity. I just want the best for everyone I know. I personally don't think this is "selfish" or "disrespectful." Again, I know that you don't believe that. But, just for a moment, try to imagine that you do. What would YOU want for those closest to you? Ooompahpah, I don’t think she’s “telling” her sister that God will show her the way.

Just because they're not on your road, doesn't mean they've gotten lost. -Dalai Lama Or that you have gotten lost because you are not on the same path as others. Remember this quote:

I'm ashamed to be an atheist because my brothers are hard core religious and ridicule me for my dis-belief. I always keep to myself, but they are the ones who bring the subject to the table.

"I don't want you to go to hell, and would like it better if you stayed with me in heaven where we can be happy together." Yes, you don't believe our way, but I wouldn't want my family members dying and never knowing what I know. :D Happy Christmas!

It's terrifyingly overconfident and aggressive. You accept and respect her belief, sounds great. You just happen to think its fundamentally wrong (still not that bad), and hope that God shows her the true path. What would your response be if you learned that she was hoping for you to lose your faith, to deny God? Unless you can truly accept someone wanting that for you, you're a rather dangerous breed of hypocrite... It’s not selfish, exactly. It’s terrifyingly overconfident and aggressive.

Also, I think that your comment seems rather mean towards your sister.. hoping that God will show her the way?? That's completely disrespectful to her beliefs. I think that if you're her sister and you really love her you should respect her choice in life and not try to change what she is. That's very inconsiderate.
