Hello fellow atheists :)
Im new here, so forgive my ignorance if I'm not posting this into the correct category.
Anyways, here is the situation: I have a friend whom I have known for 12 or 13 years, and we never had any significant conflicts. We are in different countries right now, so we talk only through Facebook. He has always identified himself as an agnostic, but somewhere in the last 1 or 2 months he has turned to religion. Normally I would'nt mind it too much, it's his life after all, but the problem is that he is now constantly pressuring me into doing the same thing, and for the last couple of days it was pretty much all he wrote about. I tried to avoid the subject as much as possible, acted dumb, didn't reply to his messages, but he just kept going further and further. And the thing is, when I tell him I do not want to hear about it, without even bashing religion in any way, he becomes very rude and aggressive, I have litteraly never seen him act this way before! It has been only 2 days, and this whole thing is ruining our friendship already! :(
So, any advice on what I can do to get him out of it, or at the very least, get him to stop pushing his views on me?
A response would be very much appreciated.
