Hi There,

I have a friend who attends The Lighthouse Church in Santa Monica. Any suggestions on how I can go about talking to him would be greatly appreciated. Reading the posts on this forum regarding this pastor has worried me some to say the least. I don't know if he will listen to me considering I'm a "non-believer", but please know that I am not trying to take his beliefs away from him; I know how much his faith means to him. I am just concerned because I think he is easily manipulated and I know how much he believes in what this pastor is telling him. I have no idea if he has talked about me with his pastor or any of his fellow parishioners, and if he has, I don't know if they've basically said to stay away from me, but I do know that he is calling me less and less.

Thank you for your time.
