Not sure how to deal w it. He was a fun guy to work with. He's a good person, but pretty crazy. This is the second time he decided he reeeeallly had to make a hard sell. I'm agnostic. I feel like it's gonna really offend him bc he sent me paragraphs about the religious text and I simply don't care. But I don't wanna hurt his feelings. This time... Science proves it.
Can I have it both ways? I'm not gonna be an Islamic but I still wanna be his friend. but he's being so weird about it and I'm bad about confrontation. I'm cool with his choices but damn
Just be very clear about it. When I was atheist I had Protestants (and one Muslim, who was frankly the least annoying since at least the arguments were new sometimes) do the same thing and frankly their arguments were so so shit it set back their cause by a decade.
As others have mentioned, be clear you won't convert and aren't interested in apologetics, because you won't be convinced by the same things he is, because you're a different person
But you would like to learn. You probably won't get him to stop entirely but he might adopt a more organic approach where you can actually talk to them about what they believe.
