There are those with whom one can have an interesting conversation even if there are different views. However, most people do not have a view t all. Of those that do, most have an emotional investment such that revealing differences risks offense. It makes those with whom one can actually have a conversation, even with differences, a special treasure.

One can float a test statement with someone to gauge how receptive they would be to discussion. There are many people who are so easily triggered and so hate filled that one has to tiptoe around them.

I have a friend that we both respect each others beliefs
I think just by being a light to him he'll see that

That's good to hear. It's easier to witness when both parties are respectful. It's not like that many times.

I actually lost a friend a long time ago because he did not want to respect my beliefs. He thought that I should change and go along with his sexually immoral lifestyle. We haven't spoken since.
