Why would being an atheist have anything to do with friendship?

Nope. Atheists don't believe in friendship, dragonfruit, or the color orange.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Friendship is not subject to a partial order, so the question is meaningless.
Also, realize the difference between a 'maximal' element (which exists for any partial order on a finite set) and a 'largest' element (which may not, if there are multiple maxima).

I know where this pile is going. It would be nice if the 'arguments' weren't so damned predictable.

I only pretend to be friendly.... hoomans souls taste so much better after a heaping portion of betrayal.
When I am not "being" friendly, I'm kicking puppies, kittens, and small children.
