What about socializing with those who are not like-minded?
I'm all for calling a spade a spade. In fact, I encourage it. I don't think it is necessary to lie to be kind to someone you don't care about. However, denying said spade anything that the law doesn't deny others is horrible. Sometimes, we just have to deal with the fact that we share the planet with people who have silly beliefs (some atheists included). I often embrace this, though sometimes I wonder how humanity has got this far with such pudding brains at the wheel.
