Sometimes I find myself in a conflict of liking or despising somebody. This was brought to my mind after I had a 15 minute conversation with my old pastor and head of my high school. Now, I know this guy has an ideology that is so contrary to mine, and I know he's attempted to brainwash myself and everyone else who walks into that private indoctrination center. I know he runs a church that is a few steps short of screaming "God hates fags" and "Thank God for 9/11". I know all this, but I also really like the guy. We talked politics and I updated him on how my life was going, and he just seems like such a good, inviting guy who, despite his conservative streak, still has a good sense of humor. I normally don't get along with anyone in that age bracket, especially if they hold strong Religious beliefs, but the guy seems like a genuinely nice dude. Still, I'm conflicted when I know what he's totally dedicated his life to.
my boss is along those lines. Raised catholic wants to become a priest or some crap when he retires. BUt he has a pretty good sense of humor for his age. I hear futurama quotes every so often and he loves 90's SNL. He's a uber conservative and dedicated republican. As soon as I think I like him he says something stupid like "as a former fetus, I'm against abortion." And as soon as I think I hate him he goes over last nights ep of futurama.

People who do things proactive to advance their beliefs are harder to come to terms with. If I wasn't friends with people simply because we didn't agree on things, I'd have even less friends than I already do.
