Your friend's words are mockery and denigration, and he must repent and adhere to the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good or remain silent." As for your words and imaginations, they are mere whispers () that have no consequence, so disregard them.
