I talked to her about believing in ‘God’ and ‘Jesus’ as a serious psychiatric condition. And I directed us to the point were we were to decide wether we would continue our friendship. She called a friend of hers to discuss the matter and she came back to me with the proposal to respect each other so I explained to her what is respect: thaty I cannot be her friend when I respect her, meaning that I wouldn’t care when I see that she’s addicted to a illusion.
Lateron I said, well your religion isn’t such a big thing in your life, you do speak up in friendships when there is something the matter and you direct it. We were kind of cool with that.
The next day I explained how her argument that nobody knows for sure that God doesn’t exist isn’t valid. I used the example of a person believing that the government is spying on him. And you say to such person: there is no evidence for this, how he would say: but no one knows for sure. She had to laugh.
She had said the day before that she wasn’t going to give up her religion, even when it would mean losing me as a friend.
I was working on my laptop, and she was watching tv. I said: to change the world we have to work on it, not incidentally, but continuously.
I made a remark on a subject on the news, she said o, I don’t really hear what’s being said.
She said we must leave the subject of religion so we can still be friends. I said as a friend I want to speak to you directly, or I wouldn’t call it friendship.
I really don’t see how we can continue, she said she’d think about it and she would let me know.
