there are no disagreements too big to get over, there are only people too small to get over them.

Yes, as long as there are other things that bind us together. I have a dear friend that is a male chauvinist, but we agree on Religion and Politics. I have a couple of friends that are Fundamentalist Christians and I am very anti-Fundamentalism. I have a lot of friends who are Republicans and I am a yellow dog Democrat. I have a friend who is an Atheist too. There are other things that bind us that are more important than the things that separate us.

i dislike those who agree with anything
thus yes i enjoy a civil disagreement
i dont strongly disagreec nor strongly agree
we are all right and all wrong in parts of all we think we know,
we are all human
parts of what i write i believe ,others are parts i think to belief ,but being flesh that i believe depends on how wrong the others belief being put forward really is
some times im more wrong others more right , i supose thats only the part of my belief thats being debated with that makes it so.

Sure, just because you strongly disagree with them on one or many subjects, doesn't mean they must be your mortal enemies. Friendship shouldn't require absolute agreement on everything or you'd be so bored. You can respectfully agree to disagree and still be friends.

It is really hard, but we must learn to make concessions. The One True God even requires us to love and to make friends with our enemies. If we really seek to know the Will of God, we will realize that separation and enmity are wrong. All men have been created to carry out an ever-advancing civilization, and not for gaining anything less than that.

As long as you can respect them and their beliefs.
This capability you speak of depends on each party's tolerance level, and their value of the other party's friendship.
I have many friends that strongly disagree with me, and I stongly disagree with them as well. However, we are still friends, and we love each other. I don't tell them they are deluded for believing in god, and they don't tell me that I will burn in hell for not believing in god.

Most of my friends and most of my family is agnostic or atheist. So that makes things interesting to say the least during some discussions! But they are all great, and I enjoy the chance to have open conversations.
It makes things interesting.

It depends on whether or not that person talks about his/her views (I avoid discussing politics & religion, because I prefer peace to war). I had this friend who has completely different views with regard to politics & religion, and our friendship probably would have lasted had she not insisted on bringing up these subjects every five minutes. (She is a nice person though.)

Of course. One of my good friends called me from London and we just debated abortion the whole time. We have totally different world views, but enjoy each other very much.

Yes for the most part as long as the person is friendly towards me and doesn't insult my opinions all the time.
