The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics in religion in philosophy as cause for withdrawing from a friend.
Indians mock their corrupt politicians relentlessly but they regard their honest politicians with silent suspicion. The first thing they do when they hear of a supposedly 'clean' politician is to grin. It is a cliche that honest politicians in India tend to have dishonest sons who collect money from people seeking an audience with Dad.
