Perhaps you should really look into why that is.......I could hazard a guess, but you won't like it.
Quote:If you have a dear friend who is falling into some pretty messed up, harmful ways of thinking, you can still sit down and have a serious conversation with him and be honest with him. But there is a respectful and disrespectful way of doing it. And how you approach it will show ow well you care.I have a friend like that, apparently, making fun of her religious beliefs hurts her feelings. Tried to be serious, but she went full retard and never turned around. : shrugs :
Have you considered my comment, the one you quoted..hard to tell, judging by the response?
Personally, I find that trying to let people down gently rarely works as intended...and you run the very real risk of them realizing that you're treating them as though they were a child. I respect you enough, for example..to tell you exactly what I think about your religion (and you)...and I trust that you won't shatter like fine china when I do so. Am I wrong? Care to lecture me some more about respect and caring from up there in Mt. Unassailable?
