I hate cigarettes, but I have many friends who smoke 'em. Right in front of me even. I don't hate or even dis-like them for it, but I don't condone it, like it or support it.

Is that similar?

Yes.

You believe they're engaging in activity harmful to them (sin), and that they will eventually suffer for it. Do you discourage them from the act? Do you hope they will eventually follow your non-smoking example by virtue of being in your presence long enough? Or perhaps it's something you ignore without an ulterior motive.

If you'll allow me to be critical for the sake of discussion, some angles sound unfriendly. You're letting them die without even trying to divert them.

Friendship between a homosexual and a conservative religious-type is interesting. I'm just curious as to the dynamic.
