I knew two muslims online for years. We basically just gamed online on the RTS game AoC (age of empires II, the age of kings, the conquerors expansion. Age of conquerors for short (AoC)) (and that is the only reason I met them in the first place) and talked about games and got on very well.
Then we talked about music and tv shows...and we have different tastes and that was cool, that was fine....
When we got into beliefs like religion (or lack of religion)...our entire friendship just fell apart, deflated. That was that.
They didn't even believe in evolution! I was only in my early teens...and I had just ASSUMED all along that they believed in evolution! Its not like they were even stupid or anything! And they didn't believe in evolution! They were polite guys....they were good at RTS games. One in particular (I'm not gonna name names here) was brilliant at the custom scenarios in the game. Absolutely brilliant. I don't think I ever met a better player at CS overall, out of the hundreds of CS players I met. And I wasn't even a CS player most of the time. Most of the years I played AoC it was random map (anyone else ever played AoC?)
In the end we just couldn't get on. We were TOO different. It just didn't work.
Despite the fact we could game together and have a laugh together....once it got into the subject of religion (or lack of religion)......everything just fell apart.
And that was that. It didn't work.
