Be careful who you associate yourself with. Just like a near occasion of sin, a person can color your perception about reality in such a way that can blind you to the truth and take you away from the path that God wants you to walk on. This is especially true if this is a close friend, family member, or a person that you're in a relationship with. These people have the most influence on you and sometimes the hardest people to leave or say no to. I suggest trying to change their mind through talking or being a good example for them (ie go to church and confession and not trying to spite them) and praying for them to become better people. The only time that I suggest leaving a person is if they're a threat to the state of your soul and wellbeing and they don't seem to change no matter what you do. Leaving and not being in their life may be what will change them. If not, at least you'll be better off.
