As I grow older I've noticed all to often how our beliefs can destroy and create relationships. For example brexit had a near equal split and I noticed it had the same effect on many relationships around me. Friends were now labeling others as racist behind other friends backs, but still kept up a front. Others would simply not talk to one another.
Even celebrities, corporations and politicians have to be careful what they say as they to can risk the results of above.
I'm bicurious how you forum dwellers handle knowing someone that may hold a different belief to your own. How severe does that belief have to be before you no longer wish to associate with a person? Do you think there are times where its irrational to disassociate from someone for holding a different belief to you own?
For me I'm usually more relaxed most of the time. I like to keep people around even if their belief may be against my own values, reasons being I'm often interested in if there is more to their reasoning than what they dish out on the surface.
