How can I tell if my freind has turned to Atheism? [Spirituality & Religion]

I'm seeing my friend who has went off to uni and there seems to be subtle changes about her that make me wonder if she still respects Jesus. She still seems like a decent person but there are subtle differences. For one thing she has put on weight and now has purple colouring in her hair.

Also I think she may have got into drugs because she is so much paler than I remember (but I can't exactly come straight out and ask her that). Most worryingly of all tho is that she has got into Yoga which is from the Buddhists and that's a slippery slope into Atheism.

I haven't witnessed her kicking a cat or sneering or being anti social or anything obvious but I was wondering if all the little changes mean she's now an Atheist or at least becoming one? If that's the case how can I reach her before it's too late?

Also she's had a dolphin tattoo on her ankle

Shouldn't that be her decision?

@ozgirl512 would you be happy if a childhood friend was becoming a heroin junkie?
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@IndigoSavage there's a vast difference between the two

@ozgirl512 Yes there is a vast difference between them.. Becoming an atheist is far worse then becoming a heroin junkie..

@mad205039 if it's true...
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Adstar in your opinion, which doesn't make it fact
Adstar · 56-60, M
@ozgirl512 I firmly believe it is a fact..

And your opinion does not make it false..
ozgirl512 · 26-30, F
@Adstar both statements are true...I guess we have to wait till the credits roll to see who is correct

@ozgirl512 I don't have to wait.. I know i am correct..

@Adstar see, there you go.... Someone told you something and you believe it sight unseen...I don't wish to challenge your religion oo your beliefs, but it does sound cult like in the original question that this friend is not allowed to find her own path through life

@ozgirl512 Nope.. God caused me to know.. And nothing you can say can challenge my assurence in God..

The original question simply asked ""How can I tell if my friend has turned to Atheism?"" The questioner never asserted that her friend did not have the right to be an atheist.. That's something you have projected upon her.. Best to respond to what people actually say rather then build a straw man over them so you can then burn them..

@Adstar oh?
If that's the case how can I reach her before it's too late?
Adstar · 56-60, M
@ozgirl512 Him... Talk with Him with a genuine desire to know Him asking Him to reveal himself to you and read the Gospels to learn the message of Jesus..

You are very arrogant if you think you have the right to dictate how she lives her life. Maybe university has opened her eyes to reality so she has been able to break free from christianity.
