Just ignore it. In my experience if you respond back you will get into a lose-lose biased argument. I'd just turn the other cheek because this person is obviously intolerant of the Bible and methods Christians use of defining their faith.

Just ignore it. First of all...what's with 'Mexico' not even being on the planet? I think it's originator intended it to be a racial slur ...so why give it any credence by responding. Just act like you didn't get it. He can't one-up you if you didn't get it. Get it?

It's saying Mexico is hell. Thus, the arrow pointing up is heaven. Arrow pointing down, Mexico (hell).

my first thought when i looked at it was your friend is prejudice against Mexicans because the opposite direction of heaven should have been hell but it says Mexican.. but i guess he is trying to say Christians view Mexicans like hell? secondary i guess the pic is to suggest Christians use circular reasoning by reading the bible for answers..that argument could hold water if the bible was a single book but its not its a collection of books written by different authors in different times places and situations..

use it as a witnessing opportunity..pin down exactly what they are saying or stateing then go from there...
