... beliefs.. I was with my dumb friend last night who start praying for the food before we eat and I was holding the piece of bread when they start doing it. I got shocked and wait holiding the bread untill they finish their prayers because I never saw it comming. Then they start preaching me abt the end of the world will come very soon and I must find happiness in their chirch and other all the christians are dumb including Catholics,Protestent , Evangelical, Eglashies, Penthakostha ect .also they have a shuttle service to carry me to their chirch every sunday free of charge and they are planing to build born again schools in every country..and my friend believe the world is only 6000 years old and evolution is a man written myth. ( god help those school children )They have two kids who are around 10 or 12 ..I feel sorry for those kids.. what should I do?

Not much you can do, really :( I had a friend when I was young who was born again. The whole family was a bunch of wack jobs. I HATED to visit at her house because her father was always preaching. He was creepy. Maybe just distance yourself from that friend if it bothers you that much. If they ask why you don't come around anymore, just tell them you aren't comfortable with how they preach about their religion and you don't care to hear about it.

Been there with similar friends. It IS Awkward.
One day at my house, the wife brought up an abortion topic (complete with pictures). I was furious and I threw her out of my house, as my wife had, a week before, miscarried and was in tears..
There was no getting through to them until they finally tired of being without friends and giving most of their time and money to their new found church.
Today they are avid gamblers about to lose their condo. Of course they still won't listen or take advice.
Some people are leaders, some are followers and then there are those that believe any sales pitch in town and follow like sheep.
Leave them be--live your own life.
Good luck

I understand that you feel sorry for those kids, but there's really nothing you can do and if you think carefully about it - you don't have the right to, as cruel and unfair as it may seem to you.
By the way, I have noticed this fanatism with Muslim converts and all converts in general. It's like they're putting extra efforts to make up for the years they've missed being on ''the right path.''
Oh well ... their lives.

~Faith~The evidence of God and Jesus~is in the answering of prayers, prayed in FAITH or OUT of a last ditch effort of a non believer. Miracles THAT no hands of humans have caused, except the hands folded together in prayer to Jesus and OUR Father. Proof~ in that non believers calling miracles and "signs" from God A coincidence, but wishing God was real, so that they too may experience coincidence of good things coming together for THEMSELVES~ and for their OWN peace of mind. Faith is proved TRUE when you are so negative you can NOT stand your own selves...
so we try FAITH... and ask for help...THEN "coincidences" take on A WHOLE new meaning when they become OUR VERY OWNanswer to prayer for relief from our pain. Proof In a prepared heart that hears Loudly for the first time, what they once hated and CURSED as LIES. Moving forward to the exuberance of a new child of wonderment , seeing for the VERY first TIME all the Blessings we were bestowed with all along ~that we NEVER once gave thanks for.Witnessing the NEW BLESSINGS that we are rewarded with~ Once we ASK Christ INTO our HEARTS sincerely!Becoming a Harvester for God, NOT only because this IS what is required~BUT because we can NOT IMAGINE KEEPING this information and TRUTHS to OURSELVES.You may NOT believe in God yet, but HE still BELIEVES in YOU. He Loves you and has much patience. YOU are WORTHY of His LOVE!Just by being "YOU".Happy Harvest Time~

If it wasn't for your obvious and blatant bias, your "question" might have some merit.
But, biased as it is...it is without merit.
What should you do? Learn to click on "Check Spelling" might be a good place to start.
As far as your attitude goes, can't really suggest much.
But, you asked. I answered.

wake up to the delusion you have walked and realize what they told you is true.
Just get on YouTube and start looking at the following items:
illuminati, freemasons, NWO (new world order, not WWE), hitler, nazi, concentration camps, FEMA camps, 9/11 ritual, Alex Jones, Nephilim, dictatorship, north american union, amero.
The fact you call them dumb over n over... yet call them "friends", should make you realize who the dumb one is here.

Avoid them when you can and pray for them every day, that the Holy Spirit enlighten their dark minds and open their narrow hearts.

Are you saying that Muslims or other religions don't do this as effectively?

I think you should learn to respect other peoples' beliefs, even if they seem delusional to you.
