Asking for suggestions on how to deal this friend.

[Duppers]

What would you think of a "friend" who wrote the following to you?

Friend: "But if we you don't believe in God, and if there is no supreme being, then aren't we the supreme beings on this planet?"

Me: "Please stop using that phrase 'supreme being' as a synonym for most intelligent. 'Supreme being' means deity / god."

Friend: "Sorry but I did not mean it to be a synonym for most intelligent."
>>

To extrapolate from that statement in a logical, linear fashion, she had to mean that people are deities "on this planet"! People are deities?? With powers of gods? WTF? If that's not fruitcaky enough, she topped that with this clincher:

"I was just speculating that our creator could be on another planet or another universe."

I could write a five page diatribe about the number of things wrong with that statement.

She had formerly told me that she's an agnostic and that she believes in evolution, so I'm extremely puzzled.

And what would you do if you had a "friend" who made such statements? Can anyone here defend what she said in any way?

I'd like to find some way to excuse this; but as it stands now, our friendship is on very shaky ground from my perspective. Yet, I don't want to hurt her. I have high standards for my friendships and therein lies the problem. She usually emails or calls every day, so I cannot just avoid her.

Opinions? Suggestions?


Thanks,
