Whats a time you ended a friendship near instantly?

I had a friend (she was Christian) who I told I was going to revert to Islam. Now I was never religious before but respected her religion and always appreciated when she would be open in some way or another about her religion. But anyway back to it. I told her I was reverting and had found Islam.

During this conversation over message she didn’t really comment on it. But we did however have a FaceTime call the next day. It went like this.

Her- “Why that religion?”
Me- “because it’s what I believe to be the truth, in the same way you feel about Christianity”
Her- “but Christianity is the truth, it’s the one true religion”
Me- “I understand how you feel, as I do with Islam”
Her- “well I hope you change religion so you can get into heaven with me”
(I let that slide and changed the conversation topic, tho I felt disrespected. Later in the conversation)
Her- “well since you’re a Muslim now you’re going to be following all that allahu akbar shit”

I ended the call and blocked her immediately.

I’ve ended friendships pretty much instantly a couple of times when people hurt me (talking behind my back) and I’ve had people end friendships with me (I wasn’t the greatest person in school and I ended up bullying some people.) I think you are justified in what you did, but I’d be open to giving her another chance. People can say horrid things but not really think them through.
