Afshi, what if we replace 2 friends with a couple who is family friends of our. In fact this is exactly what is happening with a couple that we know. They are on the verge of divorce. Should we remain good friend and dont play a referee even in that case? (I am not being sarcastic or trying to make a point, I am asking fro a serious advice)
sorry, I ate it. It was cauliflower, just so you know. Stop dating sabzi walas will you
you don't have to take a religious stance to prove to the liberal one that he is at fault.
even atheists believe in some code of conduct when it comes to interpersonal relationships.....
can you not appeal to his sense of courtesy and suggest that no decent individual will insult those beliefs that another holds dear?
one should remain out of matters that do not concern him/her but this is a situation where at least one party has involved you by letting you know of the argument........you are obligated to help.
Sorry for the confusion STA. I brought in a separate incident, but in case of the couple, they are just on different page. It has nothing to do with religion.
If the liberal one doesn't like religion, he doesn't have to voice his opinion. If he's so western, he should represent what America says it is... accepting of peoples' faiths. Tell the religious one to stop arguing about religion with the atheist because he's pushing him away from it more.
Lastly, tell 'em to grow up. Arguing on fb? Argue on the phone or in person instead. It's amazing how many years of friendship ended on a website.

Ok. I got you . If I were you, i will keep maintain my ties with both of them. However, I will not tolerate any attack on my freedom of practice of my religion.
A lot of good advices herE. I can understand what your atheist friend must feel like being an outcast in his own circle of friends. I will definitely recommend staying out of it and delete both of them from your facebook account. Your atheist friend will Grow out of his phase soon and begin to respect those that don't share his beliefs. I was there once and I certainly fought and argued a lot with people but now I have learned to look past their faith and accept them as they are. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of people that will agree with your atheist friend and he has to learn to accept that. Stay out of it and he will surely return with an apology. I don't apologiZe for not having reverting and I do not regret it for a sec. Things are more logical when you take religion out of the picture. That's just me and h probably feels that way too. Give it some time
