As long as it's under control, debating can actually be a fun thing to do with your friends. The key is to know when to agree to disagree.

No, although I have to admit that I'd have trouble relating to someone who is extremely conservative on social issues.

Times are changing. Even social conservatives like Jake and Josh22 keep up with normal things, like college basketball and other things. Fundamentalists aren't amish.

I know that, but I like to share more with friends than college basketball.

I would have trouble relating to them because I see the world much differently. I do not find it right to enforce religious moral standpoints onto others. That's all.

I was only using college basketball because I have had conversations with both on the topic. I guess college basketball means less to those in your neck of the woods than in ACC country Smiley

I see your point, and it does effect who I'm friends with, though I'm not really around too many fundamentalist Christians, there might be 3 out of over 200 kids in my grade.
