If someone you know feels safe enough and trusted enough to share some ideas... and if you find these ideas horrible and offensive and hard to believe... what do you do. After saying, NO, I do not think that's true. NO, that's not the way life is. NO people aren't like that.
Then what do you do? You don't want to lose the friendship... heck, she trusted you with her inner thoughts. Usually you enjoy her company, but every time you think about what she said, you're horrified again, and a little disgusted.
When you're older, friends are harder to come by... AND she lives close by. Do you bring it up again to discuss more fully? Do you hope it NEVER comes up again in conversation so you do NOT have to address it ever again? You know she wasn't joking, but these are her beliefs... YIKES.
This is someone I (until I learned this about her) enjoyed spending time with. Now, I am not all that sure I want to see her, associate with someone who feels this way.

it's hard to maintain a friendship when something they've said goes against everything you believe. maybe you can maybe you can't. only you can decide if you still want to be friends. take care,

It's hard to say what i would do. I guess every situation like that is unique.
If it starts to get in the way of your usual time/activities together then maybe you have to deal with it. But if it doesn't then maybe you can put it out of your mind.

Maybe cut back a bit on the friendship but don't give it up entirely. Friends are hard to come by.

I agree. But I will cut back for sure.
