I have had a couple people un-friend me for the same reasons, it is sad that some people are so narrow minded. I posted " Storm" on there, after you posted it on here, and was surprised at a few of the remarks. I am sure that my retorts are what caused a few un- friendings to occur.
I no longer remark on any but my closest friends posts,and try hard to avoid anything but the lightest of topics to comment on, FB is a weird place anyhow, I don't go on there too much anymore because I feel I cant be myself, its more like FAKEBOOK.
Also being a plumber in this economy is tough enough, I don't need to alienate any potential customers, lol, some people automatically think atheist are akin to devil worship. When it comes to making a dollar I don't care what you believe, but I am sure some people would call someone else as opposed to having an atheist working in their home.
