Blocking people I REALLY like.

😢😢😢😢😢😢 It makes me sad beyond telling. I simply can't remain friendly with someone who would disrespect God.

AND I blocked a friend of mine who has been a friend since before I joined this website. THAT makes me REALLY sad...so I unblocked him. It was over politics...and he HAS the right to disagree with me.

Someone can still be your friend, be a heathen and despise Trump. There’s a lot to life beyond these two classifications.

Post tariffs, you’ll find most disapprove of Trump. He’s just added an extremely large regressive tax. That’s what tariffs are, though most don’t realize that. Your (you specifically) ability to afford things moving forward will unequivocally decline and proportionately more than someone that’s affluent. You should worry.

As for your relationship with God, that’d be personal. Hopefully you’re cognizant of the fact that there are many different religions in the world. Religion is one of the largest causes of war known to man. That means your belief, albeit sometimes indirect, IS a contributing factor in the death of others and has always been historically. Religion hides that simply because it’s distasteful. The Catholic faith also hides the homosexuality of many of its priests because it can’t promote the contradiction of its primary teachers being sinners. Go figure.

Though I don’t care which religion someone follows because I’m technically a heathen, you should at least be aware of the giant glass house in which you live.

Friends are meant to expand your horizons. If friendships are based solely on similarities, you’ve got a clique, not real friends.

@Adogslife @Adogslife I am extremely cognizant of the many different religions in the world. In fact, when I was a teenager, I joined the Unitarian Universalist church, briefly, and joined it again even MORE briefly as an adult.

The Unitarians recognize and RESPECT all religions. The key word here is RESPECT.

If a friend MOCKS God...they DISGUST me. It's a hard and fast fact of MY life. Please feel free to live yours in whatever way you choose.

Regarding Trump, because I have the ability to THINK about his tariffs and what he is in the process of doing for my country, I am not going to be myopic about what he is trying to do.

Someone telling me that I should worry will not cause me to worry. I KNOW that things will be tough for about nine months while we go through a period of adjustment. I am perfectly willing to go without for nine months.

Someone who is NOT willing to sacrifice in the short term to improve our lives in the long term is, IMO, an idiot. But feel free to spread your doom and gloom.
