Aren't you now disqualifying all our FRiends who are Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, etc, etc, from religious discussion?

Not at all. They are free to discuss anything they like, as are we. If we as Christians believe in what is called the 'Great Commission', we should be witnessing to our non-Christian FRiends, and stressing the importance of what Jesus said: "In my Father's House are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."

This is not really directed at you but a general statement, but if we expect to do this, we should expect our FRiends from other faiths to be able to do this as well. I can't remember who, but someone posted earlier about how Mormons are always trying to 'sell' their faith, but isn't that is what we expect to be able to do with our faith? We may not like their approach at times.
