My first recommendation is to pray for your friends. My second is to offer some small sacrifice for them when they blaspheme (praying in your head, "Blessed be the Name of the Lord" or something like that is good). My third would be to ask them respectfully not to blaspheme, at least not around you. If they are your friends, they should do this. My fourth would be to give them the cold shoulder when they do blaspheme. Since they know it bothers you, they should feel sorry for it when they see houw it affects you and they should not want to disappoint you. Lastly, if you feel that their words are leading you to sin or toward a temptation to hatred, it is better for both of you for you to back away from the relationship for a while or to break it off permanently, but I recommend always being willing to pick it back up again if they are willing to change.

God bless,
