I’m 66. Over my lifetime I’ve lost a lot of “friends” over various issues. I used to hang around quite a few musicians. Most of them are gone from my life now. Some left with expletive laced posts in FaceBook. It’s kinda comical to me, really, I’ve experienced, personally, the projection of the left. They are a touchy group. They’re pretty easy to intentionally set off, as Trump demonstrates daily.
They are cowards. They are afraid that you might explain your ideas so well that they might have to actually think.
Think that your ideas are better and that they have to figure how to live with all of their leftist comrades knowing that they know they are wrong.
If a friend cannot carry out a rational debate about Trump and threaten to break up the friendship when they cannot defend their opinions with logic and facts, then they are being ruled by their emotions and it is unlikely that you will be able to convince them that they are wrong.
Jesus himself that we would lose friends and alienate family by choosing to follow Him.
It’s something Christians should not fear for being in the right.
That’s not a loss.
Exactly! It is how I respond to it when it happens.
RE: If a friend cannot carry out a rational debate about Trump and threaten to break up the friendship when they cannot defend their opinions with logic and facts,
If this is the case, are they still worthy of being your friend?
Ya know, Ive had friends that were Obama supporters and I didnt disown them. I think its just the left that acts so childish.
If a friend can’t respect your opinion, they’re not really a friend.
One of my best friends was a liberal in college. I ignored it. He has gotten much more radical. A Bernie supporter now. But for the most part we just DONT talk politics anymore. Occasional digs, but thats about it.
Over 50 of Hilary’s friends and colleagues have ‘committed suicide’ in suspicious circumstances. And the Clinton Foundation is a thin veneer for child trafficking and extortion.
Ask these liberal ‘friends’ why they think Jesus would have voted for her.
Also, Trump walks the walk on Pro-Life. Ask these pharisees why their version of Jesus is ok with infanticide.
I am in a similar situation with an old friend from HS. He has accepted the Liberal dogma, drunk the cool-aid, and we have had heated email exchanges with us not talking with each other for months. When we see each other, we avoid politics which means the conversations are high-level and superficial... which means the friendship is “superficial” too.
She was not invited back and it doesn't matter, because my estimation of her diminished by about 5000%
Not because of her views, but because she forgot how to conduct herself
Has anyone here who uses Fakebook NOT been unfriended by a “tolerant” Liberal so called Friend?
My experience.
I respond to ridiculous statements by using Facts.
The responses contain personal attacks against me.
I call them out.
They unfriend me.
Rinse, repeat.
Stop talking to the Left. They want you dead and they refuse to learn.
I would never have a “friend” that wanted the government to kill me.
Why would someone who doesn’t see Jesus in the same way as a Christian care if Jesus approves of one thing or another? That’s just a technique to manipulate the narrative, no matter how nicely it’s done. Push just a little and usually that person will reveal just how much they respect what Jesus approves of when they want to say homosexuality is just love or a woman deserves the right to kill her baby.
