A friend of mine posted this on facebook. Of course this kid was the biggest, shady drug addict and thief when he was a teenager. Then he "found god". I try really hard to ignore shit like this the best I can. What would you guys do? Not specifically for this actual posting, just in general. When people you know post crap like this online, or you overhear friends making snarky comments what do you do? I didn't comment on this. It's kind of funny. If it was malicious, then I would have.

I ignore it. I see soooo much crap I hate seeing posted to my friends' Facebook pages, and sometimes it makes me really angry to see it. But I just click on the "hide status" option and get rid of it and move on. I see no reason to confront my friends on their views when they show no intention to change them. I live and let live, I guess you'd say.

Only time I ever say anything is when they ASK for a friendly debate. And then I keep it very civil.

Yea, this I would respond to. Its not enough that uneducated people push their beliefs in schools to indoctrinate school children with this nonsense but they laugh at science. If there is one thing that deserves respect in this world it is science. It offers the only real source of truth that can be proven undeniable. And people still choose to ignore it and claim they are right because they take pride in their ignorance.

If anyone here has ever had to explain String theory or the beginnings of the Jurassic or Cretaceous periods then you understand.
