my friend carson is fun to be with, but it bugs me how she pictures life. she thinks that god believes we're all idiots, and we waste life and then go to hell. she seems sorta dissapointed because of these thoughts she has. i've been trying lately to make her believe what i believe, that we will go to heaven and life is great to enjoy. she never believes me, no matter how much i try to persuade her. my parents, my other friends, my teachers, my preist, and a few others think my theories could really be possible, but why doesn't carson think the same? i sound like a know it all, but these are just thoughts, and i'm trying to get carson happier about the experience of life and look forward to the afterlife with god. i feel guilty about it, though. and sometimes, when i try to make her think i agree with her now, i say "your right. my ideas are stupid" and she just says, "yep. i think logical, and you...dont." other times, i actually start beliving her becuz it could happen her way. idk.

She sounds very pessimistic and that she is pulling you away from your relationship w/God. Those people are toxic. You have to be careful because if you aren't getting through it is threatening your walk. If you can't get through I would invite her to church. It isn't your job, pray for her and see if you can introduce her into a small bible study group so you have support.

Tell her you are more logical because she can't prove it either way and neither can you. The best thing to do is to look at what's in front of you... your friends, your family, and goals/life. Cherish that because it is real for sure. Whatever you want to believe after that should be healthy and contribute to your life..not destroy it. She believes what she does because her emotions are down and depressed. It affects what her conscious mind thinks. It's not real.
If you can't prove something either way 50/50, why take the worse road?

Don't believe her. Just keep at her, eventually the thought of hell will scare the hell out of her. It did for me. My friends never gave up and I've been saved now for 7 years. I thank my friends every time I see them. If they had given up, who knows...
