Related: a coworker invited me to a Bible study he's running on our lunch breaks on Wed.

Applicable facts:

- He's a friend of mine, not some random dude I occasionally send reports to, so it's not ultra-weird that he asked.
- We have about as opposite views of Christianity as can exist (him: very fundamentalist, anti-gay, etc.; me: the opposite).
- We both love to argue. A lot.
- It's a men's only study, which I know is a fairly common thing, but not exactly my cup of tea and extra dicey during the work day, even on break.

I am tempted to not touch this with a 15 foot pole, but I'm not 100% sure the best way to politely decline. "Sorry, I don't want to debate which flavor of Christianity is better for an hour each with you?" Yeah, probably that.
