It certainly doesn’t bother me. As a matter of fact it’s kind of a relief.
As to whether or not we can be friends regardless of our differing perspectives on the issue, I don’t see a problem there either.
In real life I have a significant number of long term friends on both ends of the spectrum. This includes atheists, agnostics as well as some with religious views far more extreme than my own. In fact one of them is a lifelong Hare Krishna and aside from the occasional reminder to stop trying to turn me into a vegetarian, we are basically cool with each other.
It’s interesting; she’s not ever trying to turn me into a Krishna but the pressure towards vegetarianism exerts itself from time to time. Kind of funny.
I happen to think that the whole Krishna network is pretty corrupt and manipulative. But I can see why there are certain aspects of the religion itself which meets certain needs of hers and she basically ignores the politics and power manipulation. So it works for her.
But our basic agreement from the beginning has been to respect each other’s choices and to refrain from preaching at each other so our friendship works because there are plenty of other things in life upon which to build a friendship other than religion.
