Please understand I care about you

Liz, please don’t do this. I love you – you know I do. We’ve met.

But I disagree violently with everything you’ve said here. And other equally intelligent people do as well.

It’s not fun for them to come onto their friends list and be called idiots for believing what they believe. They have that right. Just like you do, to believe what you believe.

I’m not going over it point by point. I understand there are a lot of people who agree with you. I know there are some who agree with me, as well. That doesn’t make either of us inherently right.

I understand your politics are an important part of your life, as my Christianity is mine, and [livejournal.com profile] howardtayler’s Mormonism is of his. I talk about my religion on my LJ; Howard talks of his on his; and you certainly should talk about your politics on yours. But please don’t do it in such a way that those of us who feel differently feel like someone they liked and trusted just spat on them.
