Religion is a poison.
Believe me, I agree it is a poison. I just see no way out of this impasse my friend and I have come to. He's been so manipulated by his friends. It was peer pressure, in my opinion. I really don't know how our friendship can survive this. He keeps driving the wedge between us even though I plead for him not to.
I can see only one good course of action - don't avoid the debate. Fundies aren't exactly known for new and groundbreaking arguments. Pretty soon either your friendship would be over or he'd be the one saying that he doesn't care to discuss it. Remember that you are not fighting save your friend here - that's a battle only he can choose. You are fighting to save your friendship and for that, it must be worth saving.
