Both Christians and muslims are instructed not to have non-believers as friends. The fact that he is one of your friends indicates that he is not as indoctrinated as he appears.

Are Christians and Muslims allowed to have imaginary friends!
Or do they say that's just stupid.

How come you in your ignorance want other people to be as ignorant as you?!

Personally I don't waste my time trying to convince anyone. Feels too much like proselytizing. Don't get me wrong, if a discussion comes up I make my position known, combat fallacies, and present evidence for theories if they are discussed. If someone wants to believe in erroneous bullshit then more power to 'em, I only have a problem when they try and introduce said bullshit into law or hurt/oppress others with it.

One of your best friends, has his beliefs. As you deemed, he is your friend, so you should sugar coat a bit about his beliefs or keep that bullshit away from your friendship.

That's what I would do anyway

Why do you want him to stop believing?

instead of worry about what he believes try investigating why. And try and help him. If of course you want to help that is. It sounds like your just getting your rocks off being right at all cost.

Since you apparently have all the answers, what caused the big bang? Also what contradictions of the Bible have you discussed?

Some creationists don't accept anyone who accepts evolution to be "true Christians™".

Creation and evolution are two entirely different subjects.

Evolution does not explain how life was created, therefore one can believe in both creation and evolution.
