I know, for me, I just accept people they way they are. Everyone has quirks or idiosynchroncies (sp?) that will drive other people nuts. I know I have 'em (I talk too much and repeat stories... over and over and over and ...) but these are what make people unique, not cookie cutter. I treasure my friends and their uniqueness, even if I don't understand or agree with them.

I was had two friends who were satanists, and being Roman Catholic, you'd think I'd be at odds. We never discussed religion. They just believed in a higher power that was different from the one I believed in. I didn't agree with their religion, but I did agree that they had the right to believe what they wanted. They were good people (bf & gf). They used to volunteer on a regular basis at various shelters. As someone once said, "Good done in the name of Evil is still Good, just as Evil done in the name of Good, is still Evil." Just our definition of Good & Evil were reversed. heh.
