OK, so you unfriended me on Facebook. The message you sent describing why baffles me. “I can no longer in good conscience remain your friend, knowing that you do not hold in your heart our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s important that I and my children are not exposed to non-believers and their sinful ways.” Seriously? Even though I am atheist, I was fine with your choice in religious beliefs, as they had no impact on our friendship. Sure, I ignored all of your posts claiming “one like=one prayer” for children starving in Africa. I prefer engaging in right actions in real life over random clicks on meaningless FB posts, but clearly this was not what you wanted from me. I’m not sure what “sinful” acts I am accused of; surely having a different belief system is not so threatening? I admit that I don’t get the kinds of religions in which what you believe in is more important than your actions in your daily life. Wielding Jesus as a shield to justify hateful comments seems contradictory to me. So you unfriended me. That’s okay. I’ll find some open minded, tolerant, right-acting instead of right-believing friends to fill your place. —One like=nothing in the grand scheme of things

Well OB, I am alive and well so you had better reform your ways!
Stay clear OB, fanaticism is dangerous, just move on.
Aren’t Jesus people supposed to love everyone (except jews, communists, and the gays?) no matter what?
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
Inshalla! May peace be upon you!
Ah, a true friend.
Shielding you from the crazies.

Your life will be much better without some Jesus-crazed fool in it. All religions have been ordered to stay 500 yards from me at all times.
What about the Gingers?
Seriously, OP. If you are going to get your piss hot over someone unfriending you on FB, please turn off your computer, take a deep breath, step outside and go for a jolly-good old fashion walk. And FFS get a life.
someone unfriended me in the name of Stephen Harper.
Ok…I logged in using my Fb account. Having said that; do you really consider Fb to be a place where real friendships are formed. Some yes…the internet is bullshit…wait,what?
