Default Help Convert Someone.

I have a Christian friend in school that I have been having religious debates with very Often. Everytime I have proven my point and he has proven None. Now, he tells me that instead of becoming Atheist, he is becoming Jewish. I was so close. How can I bring him over to our Side?

Just keep being you. Don't try to "bring him" to our side. Just be here to welcome him when he arrives on his own.

Think about your other post about the Fundies harassing you. And don't harass him. Let him become a Jew. It's his choice not yours.

But keep being reasonable, good & rational, that's a great argument.

Here's a great testimonial from a guy who went from Christianity to Judaism to agnosticism to atheism and details the entire process. It think you'll find it interesting and encouraging.
