Well, this was no way to start the day...

29. Someone I refer to as a former friend is a woman I have known...

…since we were 8. I am now 72. We were good friends thru high school, and lost touch after I finished nursing school and began the first of several moves. She stayed in our hometown.

On Facebook, she regularly posts statements from assorted sources about the importance of tolerance, which sound very enlightened. Then, sometimes on the same day, she will post the most hostile comments about progressives, filled with hate and judgement. Some years ago, she used the term “libtards” in one of her posts. I remember thinking, “Gee, I wonder if Peg knows she’s talking about me.”

She’s heavy duty into the Bible and fundie Christianity, and has no tolerance for other belief frameworks, despite posting things about tolerance. Hr religious beliefs are the only true ones.

I don’t know how she reconciles these very disparate outlooks.

We no longer have anything in common, and are not in touch.
