You can only bend the words so far. Your friends sound like they are in denial of what their religion teaches. They like the comfort of the ritual but they are unwilling to embrace it all... when the religion itself allows for no halfhearted following. And when it plainly teaches that if you leave the religion you should be executed.

So why won't you just let them believe as they want?
