But you mention having atheist friends in real life. I don't have a problem either way and I don't care if you keep your religious beliefs if they make sense to you. You're the judge of that. Is that true for you and your atheist friends? Do you and they accept each other on your own terms, or do you hold out hope of conversion?
I do not believe I have ever tried to convert anyone. It's not my job. They accept that I can't eat blood and I don't judge them for eating it.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
