Also, I want to add..

Telling them to F off or being rude with them won't work. It will, but then you are just being a jerk. Christians are really nice people (as are people from other religious sectors), however, after attending their church a few times, I can see why your friend is openly trying to convert you. A big part of doing 'Gods' work, or 'fishing', as they call it, is basically the idea of them trying to 'save' other people.

They are fed this idea that you need to spread Gods word in order to be a good Christian. And by fed, I mean brainwashed. It's best just to be honest with the guy. Tell him nicely, you appreciate the materials, but you are finding it somewhat offensive lately because you believe in _____ instead.

I wouldn't mind attending church once in a blue moon, but one of the things that stop me is hearing a Christian sermon. They have a mentality of 'we are good, everything else is bad' and as a catholic, I felt a bit offended myself. Lol, I guess I got a bit carried away and this is a whole new topic in itself.
