He agreed with much of the things I said to him actually to the point where he questioned his religion. I thought for sure we had another free thinker but instead he ended up becoming christian again . I would ask him why he was christian despite the obvious logic conflict, he says he doesnt know why nothing make sense and he isnt sure why Christianity is full of illogical fallacies but he say he knows god exists because he has his visions of the future. (BTW the visions he has he is unable to remember until after the event has happened and he can ever recall a vision at will) His vision are alot like Deju Vu phenomenons. But he is convinced it is visions so this gives merit to the idea that the christian god must be the way
. Now that he has found his religion again, he is increasing his reading of the bible and starting to do and say illogical things. I love him to death and he is a smart man(hes an engineer for goodness sakes) I am worried he will put Christianity so high in his priories that ill be outcasted. He says he is fine with practicing his religion alone, but I dont know if this can actually work
I guess you have to trust that it will work. If it does then no harm no foul if not - and you seem considerate and smart to me - then it's his loss.
