And like I said in another post, if you truly think one of your friend's beliefs is harmful, I would advice you to sit down with them, and in a respectful conversation, tell them your concerns... and do so just one time. Bugging someone about it over and over again is not your place. And making fun of them to your friend's face, is just rude.
It really is that simple.
Oh, gee, I was dying to know what my place is. Thanks.
What exactly constitutes 'making fun' to you?
Let me ask you this.
How would you feel about it if a religious friend of yours was constantly on your butt about your atheism? Wouldn't you feel it's none of their business and not their place to keep bugging you about it?
What I'm saying is that it's the same thing the other way around. You would be doing the exact same thing if you kept bugging someone about their theism.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
