Hello, I have a question that I would like answered soon if possible. I have just started college and it seems I am the only catholic, those in my class speak of some of the worst sins as if they were the most natural things in the world, their lives revolve around sins of overindulgence and lust.
At the moment I am biding my time and trying to think of some way to tackle this problem, I pray for them and for me that I will be immune to their influence and that I can help them. Should I speak openly of God, though they most probably complete athesists, or should I be more subtle about mentioning God, and how?
In most of their talk they openly speak of sins of the flesh, and planning to get drunk, drugs and a host of things that make me doubt they have consciences, I want to find a good way to seperate the sin from the sinner but with each day its getting worse I think, please give me good suggestions for this. Should I stay with them and try to introduce good into their lives and, hopefully, ultimately God, or leave them to their own devices? or perhaps leave college altogether?
Please reply quickly, sometimes in their ‘talks’ I feel like shouting at them and their horrible ways, to tell them that their doing wrong are where thats going to lead them, but I try to be patient and wait for a good time maybe with each one alone and give them some advice so that once apart from each other they will not laugh or hopefully listen without distractions from one another, but I myself will wait for some console from you and other good sources before I take action and that with Gods help will not cause a greater drift between them and Him, that unplanned guidance may cause. So pray for me, my fellow students especially those in my class, and students everywhere as they will be the next people to control the world and they way it looks is not great.
So with your prayers and advice, how will I go about this mass conversion, hopefully starting with my class? and some of the topics advice that would be of benefit (also any links appreciated): contraception, abortion, lust, self- defilement, excessive alcohol, slothfulness, the theory of evolution, existance of God, bad language, mockery and how to redirect bad conversations.
Not only all this but in a way that they would most likely listen and not joke about, and because of no religion these will most have to be from social - political - athesist philiosophy/morality standpoints. Not going to be too easy, I know that example is hugely important so I will ask your prayers for this. I can adequately defend the faith so I need more advice from the unbelievers view but any good advice will be taken, and fresh looks on the faith is always good. So once again pray for us and just incase you might forget, please pray a little for us right now. Thanks and God bless.
