I have recently been unfriended by 3 people on Facebook. I can guess who and I can guess why. I am not surprised. I have accepted posts from very many people who have political and "Christian" view points that are very conservative and small minded, even very hateful, very different from mine. I did not want to unfriend these people, because my hope was that by exposure to more open-minded, openly loving posts, they would learn to see that their conservatism was hateful, demeaning and despicable. I am sorry that these same people have not learned that love is open, enveloping, encompassing, and unconditional. My love for these people is unconditional, as I accept them even though I detest their politics and their conservative, hateful, narrow-minded "Christianity." They are not Christians. They are imposters wrapped up in Biblical quotes and "holier than thou" postings. They do not mean to be imposters, they just have not learned love, acceptance, or unconditional love.
I have mixed feelings. I am so grateful that these people have unfriended me, since our outlooks are so disparate. I am so sad that these people have unfriended me, because maybe they could have learned something about love and acceptance that they do not yet know.
