I'd suggest an alternate title to your piece: "Get off of Facebook, it's not worth arguing on social media". A point to which I completely agree.<p>So get off Facebook already!<p>Politics are not, however, a system designed to create divisions in society. It debases the idea of critical thinking when you admonish people who stand up for their beliefs. Stating an opinion on Facebook is a completely different beast however, but it feels low to give your chosen headline to what your article argues.<p>And on your point about religion being a topic where amicable disagreement is possible, I've found much the opposite to be the case. Though many deeply-held political opinions are formulated these days from fiction, religious beliefs are contingent upon faith, a system which prizes, above all else, the continued adherence to what one has been told even in the face of the harshest scrutiny. People may be more willing to let bigons be bigons in a religious debate, but their willingness to drop the subject says more about their faith than it does about your argument.
