If it comes up in conversation, just tell them straight out why you don't like Jesus, and take it from there..
(PS- you can tell us too if you like)
That is really shitty of you to even joke like that. I bet you would not give that advice to someone youth living under a deeply Muslim society knowing they don't believe. We've seen that too.
Some kids do not have the luck of being born into accepting families. Some kids if they tell their parents they are not the same as their parents risk even physical abuse or getting kicked out on the street. LGBT can tell you that too.
And I do take this personally because my younger sister, while she came out as an adult still got lots of shit from our biological family and it took them a long time to accept it. It was hell for her even as an adult. Kids don't have the luxury of just leaving.
