I'm with you on this.
Worked with God botherers and most of them were ok but I couldn't be mates with them.

Acquaintance yes, mates no.

Really? Don't you find that a bit pathetic, if they're not forcing the issue you on you, why are you on them?

For me it would be like being friends with someone
who was a racist.
Their mind believes that not white people are lower beings, godists believe in a magic man in the sky.

Not all racists are white.

This is true.
My mate Havider utterly hates negros. Except the ones that are good at sport and who represent the UK in the Olympics.

Or boxing.

I employ a Sri Lankan who hates 'pakis'.
I haven't the heart to tell him that most of the British population could not tell him apart from a Pakistani.

What's wrong with being racist?
(you'll see where I'm going here when you answer that)

I didn't say that there was anything wrong with it.
Its that they are views so opposed to mine that I could not be their friend.

You ovbously do think there is something wrong with being racist, because you say it dramaticly opposes your view, thus implying you have an opinon on the subject
But I'll help you out, the reason you find racism abhorent is because in moderns society, no 'race' should be used to belittle someone, because everyone is different.

OK
I don't want to be friends with someone who has a view so different to mine.
My choice.
If you have a problem with this then I guess we just won't be friends. Easy.

We would have very little common ground to be good friends.
Just like I couldn't be very good friends with an ultra right conservative or a racist.

Or someone who doesn't believe griddle pans are ace.

Could you be friends with someone who you think is scary?

Nope, you have _one_ thing that you're not on common ground on, and dismissing everything else because of that.

I like to do a lot of things that a believer would find sinful.
I can't see a friendship lasting because of that.
