I agreed not to swear around a Christian friend as a favor...
November 23, 2024 at 3:27 am
...know what she said during an argument? 'Fuck you I don't want to be friends with you.'
Needless to say I will not be interacting with her any more. She apologized and offered to reconcile but I'd honestly rather drink piss.

Did she promise not to swear around you as well?

A Christian with double-standards? I'm shocked.

That's how Christians are: they get more upset if you swear in front of them than if you fart in their face.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Christians are inscrutable. Ask her for a 'special'
reconciliation then kick her to the curb.

Many a friendship has been ended by far less that the use of the word ‘fuck’.

I wonder if the issue was swearing or was "using the lord's name in vain"...there is a difference.

I'm curious as to exactly what you said, just before she swore at you, to be honest the curiosity is killing me.
Alas no I didn't. I calmly told her I was tired of apologizing and changing myself.
The argument was over bullet chess. She disapproves of the fact that I mostly play bullet and blitz and she resents giving me advice and teaching me skills because she thinks I wasted her time playing in crazy fast time controls that are mostly about speed and reaction time. She felt I should have 'let her know' that I 'didn't care about chess' so that she didn't have to waste her time...
I pointed out that I do also play long form chess as well as bullet and blitz and she lost it and swore at me.
She has known since our FIRST EVER CONVERSATION that I was into speed chess. I don't know how she came to feel that I deceived her.
A christian with control/manipulation issues, how novel.
