Help.

So I decided to ask my friend Jerod* why he wasn't a Christian. I felt I was prepared for this since we went over it at youth group. It's a lot harder talking to someone about why they should be a Christian than you think.

He didn't want to fight me about it. He's been my friend for a while and I've never forced my beliefs upon him, so we've always kinda openly talked about it, but not deeply.

I asked why he wasn't a Christian anymore and he told me that the bible contradicted itself more than it made sense, and that it was all bs. He also said he didn't like how someone could be perfectly nice and not believe and go to Hell and then an awful person could do whatever they want and go to heaven because he said he believes.

I didn't really know what to say to that.

Then I said that's what faith is. You're skeptical, and know he's up there and that Jesus died for us. Jesus died for us so we wouldn't have to go to Hell.

I also asked him which world religion he thought might be most true (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, etc.) and he said Greek Mythology. I told him that was ridiculous and that there wasn't several gods governing over separate things, there's one God.

So there wasn't really anything to say after that. We went back to casually talking after a couple minutes, so it was fine. But he's a dear friend and I'd like to see him back in church and believing and leading a better life.

Also, I don't wanna see him go to Hell.
