My friend is a religous Christian, and most of my friends hate him when he goes to into "prophet" mode. Lately they've been extra mean. They threw him out of the group, and swore if any of us talked to him we'd get out of the group. I'm still friends with him, and I talk to him. They havent found out but I'm planning on telling them cause they control my every choice.
But there's one draw back...How can I be friends with him, and like my best friend...(whos a guy)....how can I like a guy who trys to control me?? how can I still be friends with the christian even though I like my best friend?

We just want to help people, and we're really trying not to preach and go into "prophet mode" as you say. Sometimes it's really hard not to though, because like I said we just want to help, especially our friends. You have to choose between your controlling friend and the Christian... Do you really want a friend who is controlling everything you do? It sounds like you need to either just lose your best friend, or tell him that you ARE going to be firends with the Christian but that doesn't mean he has to be. Tell him you're going to be friends with the Christian, but you wanna be firends with him too. If he can't accept that then he's a loser. Do what you know is right. Hope I helped!! xoxo*jesuschick [ jesuschick's advice column | Ask jesuschick A Question ]

If you don't want to choose, then you can tell your best friend and if he won't let you be friends with the Christian then tell him that we might not have to be friends if your going to control me all the time. If that doesn't work, tell your parents, a councelor or your teacher. I hope it works out for you!!! [ lipsRHoT2kissU2's's advice column | Ask lipsRHoT2kissU2's A Question ]

Think about it this way say you were that friend and he was you, and you got kicked out of the group for that, and then he was you and he decided not to be your friend, how would you feel if it was you? Like they say put yourself in their shoes and see how you would feel.
