Person A: Are you religious?
Me: yea
Person: which...
Me: Christian
etc...
("Person B" comes and sits with us)
Person A: [to "person B"] Are you religious?
Person B: **** no, i don't have time for that ****, so busy with stuff
Me: Like what?
Person B: like science
Me: oh, what are you taking? (was nervous, so tried to change the topic)
Person B: Nuclear Science
Me: Oh, i also take science...Life science
Person B: If someone believes in science, and says they're religious also, must have their facts messed up.
Me: Well...a lot of people think that...but actually...uh u no what, im not really one to discuss that (not cuse i didn't have the knowledge exactly to discuss it, but i doubted myself, wasn't confident).
Person B: ...
Conan: ...
(the dots are just to represent i don't really remember what we talked about after)
But i do remember the thought, that "wow, this person really HATES religion, maybe i shouldn't talk about it or bring it up too much, so that it doesn't kill our friendship"). It was almost like hesitating to spread the message just so a newly made friendship wouldn't be in jeopardy.

Haha in my opinion the easiest way to get into an argument with someone is when you are talking about religion so I tend to stay away from that. Don't worry about Person A and B Conan! Come back to Markham!
lols i WILL be! soon...
I agree to what you think - about how you may avoid spreading the message because it may ruin a friendship. That being said (Hucaluk's fav words), I was talking to a friend the other day about my struggle to that, and the thing is, we shouldn't be held back. Something I think would help is to think of it this way - is your friendship more important or is their soul? Are you willing to risk that friendship to allow the seed (Gospel) to be planted into them?
