dealing with close friend constantly trying to change my views to be more conservative?
A close friend of mine has become increasingly Christian over the years. They are non-affirming, deny evolution, believe in young earth creation, etc. They honestly probably think I’m going to hell.
We’ve been friends for years and we still get along great. They’ve talked about doing bible study, but every time we discuss things like that they start trying to debate everything they disagree with me about. (I’m affirming, believe in evolution, universalism, etc.)
It really stresses me out and it makes me really spiral. They’ve told me that they think their opinions are the objective truth and that I would agree if I read the bible without bias and actually did research. Idk. I feel like they’re so confident that they must be right. I don’t want to go to hell, I don’t want all my dear friends to go to hell.
Ugh. I think I have undiagnosed OCD or something, because after those conversations I spend days obsessively googling for reassurance and rereading the same things over and over again.
