Have you considered my comment, the one you quoted..hard to tell, judging by the response?
If making fun of your friend's beliefs to her face hurts her feelings, then just don't do it. There's no reason to be a jerk to someone you supposedly care about.
I made a responded to it, so I don't know what you mean about whether I considered it.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
