Is It Possible To Like Someone Whose Views You Despise?

[Revoltingest]

Depends on the views and how strongly they feel about them. It's just too broad of a topic to give a definite yes or no, though in general it tends not to be an issue, though in the back of my mind at times I wish certain friends would shut up about some of the nonsense they believe.

Based upon your behavior & associations here, I'll answer <yes> for you.
Remember that you're still allowed to utterly loathe people you disagree with.

For me, admittedly, it's pretty hard sometimes. Sometimes people come into your life that shake the stereotypes of people with certain belief systems and really make you re-evaluate your prejudices against them (prejudices I hold onto waaaay too often). One of my best friends is a conservative Presbyterian and the most compassionate and listening person I know. One of my other best friends is a flamboyant atheist but loves people so passionately. And there's also one of my Dad's friends who I can actually talk about feminism with and he'll give me a friendly "Make America Great Again! Lol..." and be on his way. I think respect is the most important thing.

Things honestly get a lot harder when people think I deserve hell or death for being gay or religiously unaffiliated....like if people are determined to change me or dislike me, I usually would rather avoid them anyway for my own sanity.

I need an <Ew!> rating.
But lacking that, you get the <optimistic> one.

I shall treasure that rating, clutch it to my breast, frame it, mount it, look lovingly upon it.

My God, Revolting, but you know how to make a member's whole month a time of ecstatic joy.

Your breast?
You have tits?
I don't know whether I'm attracted or repelled.
