Dumping friends over politics or religion

[ignoramus]

Chevy drivers are my mortal enemies!

I also cannot tolerate superficial people...

Oscar Schindler was a member of the Nazi party and he was ok.
At the end of the day it depends on how strong the friendship is to begin with.

Nope never I wouldn't.

I have been dumped for being atheist, and I don't give a shit, because ultimately I don't really like those Christians anyway.

My wife married an atheist. He became a Christian. This year we celebrate our 26th anniversary. YMMV

Given how badly you mischaracterise atheism, you've been an atheist in the same way the likes of Lee Strobel are, i.e. you're pretending to have been one in order to bolster your credentials.

Given the way you act towards people who have even the slightest disagreement with you, I cannot imagine you spending 26 seconds in close proximity to someone with differing religious views to you, without you forcing them to change (or at least pretend to), never mind 26 years.

Just like with pretty much everything else on thses fora, I'm calling bullshit on you Wooters.

Didn't know if this went here, in politics, or religion, so tadaaaaaa!

Would you dump your friend due to political or religious differences?

I have been dumped for being atheist, and I don't give a shit, because ultimately I don't really like those Christians anyway. I have a few theist acquaintances, but they're not really committed to their faith. I just can't be friends with dedicated Christians. They annoy the hell out of me.

Politics. I simply cannot be friends with someone who voted for Trump. I can't. Someone said that we can't look at people and only see what they voted, labeling them as such. She said people who dump friends over politics are part of the problem in this country. She said politics should be separated from friendship. I disagree. How you vote (especially in these elections) says a lot about you. If you can vote into presidency a fool who mimics someone with cerebral palsy, you are a douche bag. End.

What do you think?

I think a lot of people think like that, and that it's unfortunate. I've lost friends because of politics this election, and it wasn't by my doing. I think it's really unfortunate that certain people are so angry and full of hatred about me exercising my right to vote who I want to vote for.

So nice you quoted it twice?

No, neither politics nor religion is grounds to be axed, in my book.

BTW, love the new avatar, 'Cita.

My favorite person to chat to in work is a Hilary supporting lesbian who voted to stay in Europe but who curiously is against Polish people in the country. I voted for Brexit, not a big fan of Hillary and I'm part Polish.
But the biggest debate we've had is about our favorite TV programs and superheros. She likes batman more than superman.

Bro, Batman is better than Superman!

No, I wouldn't stop being friends with somebody over religion or political views.

[brewer]

OP: Do you also move away from those who did not vote for Clinton?

I'd consider myself and my friendships shallow if that's all it took.

I'm not even going to get started on that.
