A lot of stuff lead up to it. Him making fun of me, and belittling me because I was an atheist, and bringing my atheism into an argument that had nothing to do with it was simply the final straw. You aren't in my position, and don't know him like I do. He never conceded my points, or respected my views when I was opposed to his, so I knew that him going that low and picking on my atheism something I told him because I trusted him - I knew that it wouldn't just end there. From the outside you might not think it such a big deal, but me trusting him enough to tell him something like that(considering I go to a christian school), that meant something to me. I didn't know he would cut ties with me but that's what enticed me to tell him off.
" My friend that i've known for 2 years just cut all communication with me after finding out i'm an atheist "
REALITY :
" I got sick of him ignoring my logical arguments that I spent time on and saying "You're fucking stupid" never giving any reason to his logic. I didn't hate him, but I just didn't like how he argued. So many times, and i mean so many times I typed these long things to him explaining why he was wrong IN DETAIL so he could understand it, but he just insisted on not trying to understand anything else but what he said. "
" he was arguing that "Marijuana isn't bad for you, and scientists proved it". I said very specifically "Yes they proved there aren't any long term effects, but that doesn't mean it's not bad for you, obviously it worsens your memory and focus, along with motivation". Instead of conceding my obviously right point(this is what he does basically every time, trust me there have been a lot of times, like almost every day for two years we have argued about something), he can't stand to admit he's wrong "
" I wrote almost an essay response to him. I told him how incredibly intolerant, ignorant, and arrogant he was. I listed out everything that he was wrong, how he would cry and crawl up in a corner any time someone brought logic in to the equation, and how he would instantly start cussing me out any time I said he was wrong. "
..... yep that must be the reason he doesnt want to be friends with you just because your an atheist ( eyeroll )
I'll admit, the title is a bit misleading, sorry for that, understand that this was made by me furiously typing and not thinking. The title reflects how elevated the situation was in my mind when I wrote it, i'm sure you can understand when you are mad you tend to exaggerate your situation. I told him before hand how much i cared about telling him about my atheism, and made it clear it was a big deal, it's not like he didn't know. He purposely went as low as possible. It may have not been the only reason, but it was the deciding factor. In my response as well even, I didn't say anything derogatory about him believing in god. I'm proud I didn't go as low as him. I basically just told him everything he can't handle hearing, as a result he deleted me. After waking up with a clearer mind this morning, I am not adding him back ever again.
" He never conceded my points, or respected my views when I was opposed to his, so I knew that him going that low and picking on my atheism something I told him because I trusted him "
...... and how does not conceding to your philosophy equal not respecting you? he just disagrees with you whats wrong with that ? do you respect him and his views ? i dont see any indication of that whatsoever
maybe you can find new friends that enjoy being told how wrong they are how absolutely right you are ,what they are wrong about in detail and are wanting you to agressively convert them to your way of thinking

im sure there are a bunch of people who want to sign up for such a "friendship"
