Thanks, Barb. :)
This is actually a comment to the "95 theses" post which did not have a place for people to leave comments for some reason. What if the person who does not want to be friends with you anymore since your stance about their faith has become antagonistic is just protecting themself from hurt. Protecting themself from pain and emotional havoc. Protecting themself from psychological trauma. I know of children who have cut off all communication with their own parents for that reason. To the parent it feels un-nice and hurtful. To the child who cut off communication (un-friended)they are protecting themselves. There is such a thing as being nice to oneself is there not? Please be willing to look at it that way as opposed to thinking the worst of your friend. Being intolerant of other people's intolerance. What is that called?
Your friend seems more intolerant of your intolerance of her religion than of you. Sounds like your friend just does not want to be around someone who feels and voices such a strong negative opinion about something she holds dear. I have friends who may or may not like my religion, but they don't go badmouthing it on public blogs for all the world to hear. Also, your 95 theses post seems a little far from humble and a little close to self-righteousness. To me anyway.
