When you hear that someone has converted from Christianity to another religion

[Lucian]

Whether it's a celebrity or an acquaintance from everyday life, when you hear that someone has converted from Christianity to another religion, how does it make you feel? What do you do? Do you pray for them? Do you periodically check to see if they returned back to Christianity?

I feel sad that they turned away from God's love, mercy and salvation. I also pray that it's temporary and that Satan didn't win the soul, but as for keeping in touch, I have found that some of my friends who turn away get a little hostile in their replies. It's as if their personalities suddenly change as well.

If it's someone I know I'd just keep talking to them. No need to specifically ask the question, "So, did you come back to Jesus yet?" because that sort of question just gets annoying. I wouldn't see a need to stop associating with them and, if the relationship is appropriate, I'll get an ongoing idea what they are thinking simply because friends talk about stuff.

If it's someone I don't know then I won't follow it at all. It's the sort of thing that might show up in the media but in general I have little interest in what celebrities are doing. I don't particularly follow any aspect of their lives because it makes no difference to my life.
