"This is one of the main problems in my life that I struggle with. How do I deal with my roommates? "

I pray tht the Lord gives me the answer that you need.
Your pagan roomates are not your roomates by chance. God arranged for you to be in this situation to help you grow and for you to bring the light of Christ to your rooomates. God knows every hair on your head and every sparrow that falls to the ground. So he certainly knows your situation.
The lesson you are learning is how to be in the midst of the world and not be part of the evil of the world. YOur roomates need the gift of Jesus that is withing your heart. They may not act as if they are tortured by the darkness of their sins but they are. Renmember that each time you witness to them you have a helper within them that is confirming your words even though their mouths are denying it.
When God is ready to bring forth the fruit, he will join the internal voice of conscience and the Holy Spirit and Words that He has given you to witness to them.

"How do I love my roommates without condoning their behavior."
Sit an meditate on your absolutely worst sins and ponder the fact that Christ love you while you were yet a sinner and continues to love you.
Christ loves them while they are yet sinners. When we have the love of Christ in our hearts we love sinners the way Jesus loves sinners. That includes all sinners.
Just this attitude of love towards them while they are yet in their sins can open the door of their hearts. This love must never be confused with participation in their sins. It is when we refuse to participate in their sins, darkness and lies but continue to love them in an uncompromising Christlike manner.
It is all a matter of the condition of our hearts. What is in the heart will come out.
May God show you His will in the matter.

Regards

Emile
