Me thinks thou ist in way too much teenage angst. Relax, give him you views because IF he goes ahead and becomes a pastor he will meet far worse than anything you can throw at him.

I don't want to carry the burden of what could potentially be the most negative thing to happen in his life. I've mentioned this before, but I have another friend that in passing said that non-believers should be having as much sex as possible because they believe in nothing else. It's things like this that I fear for. If these sorts of believers are let loose and they realise there's nothing holding them back they will cause so much harm to themselves.

Everyone's different, but the realisation that there's no greater truth will start the same sort of chain reaction in their minds...
