When Jesus was here on earth the first time, He was surrounded by a lot of ignorant/ stupid people just like you and me, which is just what you and me are confronted with every day. Making friends with them would not be a good idea. But every one of these people are "pre-Christian". Jesus died and rose again for their salvation, and He loved them all.
Romans 8:29 (ASV)
29 For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
We are here on this earth now to be conformed to the image of Jesus, to be just like Him. That includes loving ignorant/ stupid people around us. Loving them would include praying for them. Every person has a story, including you. Maybe if a person tried to find out what the story was of another person, maybe they would not really be so stupid, and we would end up being more compassionate and empathetic with them.
In the name of Jesus, I bless you with the life of God, with wisdom and understanding in the knowledge of God.
