Like you it seems really stupid when one thinks logically about it and perhaps that is what they can't or don't want to do.
Tolerance can be a good thing . IN this case, it allows those we know and hold dear, to go down the wrong path. Better to pray AND try to enlighten, than to permit friends to go to the " evil " side.
I'll happily jin your prayers, for your friends. May GOD open their eyes ot the truth .
May HE always walk with you, FREEPER FRiend.
