I have already lost three of my closest friends. One told me I was obsessed about this. One said she would rather spend time in the sun than worry about this and the other one and most insulting told me I was trying to gaslight her into talking about religion and politics and she was sorry but needed to end our friendship. I am new to religion so I am no expert but I know God does not want me to be mean or angry at people. I could not let the third one go and I fired back. She ended up apologizing to me. Not that she necessarily believes what I am saying as she is a nurse and believes how she was trained and those fancy medical books she gets her information from. What am I suppose to do with this?
Maybe just a lil distance and patience will work. And if it doesn't you will be more distant from the sting of the pain by having false friends. It is so very hard and more perplexing cause like you I thought I knew several people pretty well. I assumed they loved their country and considered it an honor to be an American.
But maybe just maybe it was me I did not know. Stamina for breadth of intellect, natural curiosity, discernment and love of country are minimums for me. This I know now. The Great Awakening....
