Jehovah's Witnesses at My Door
I have no problem whatsoever with people of faith coming to my door. None.
A Jehovah's witness came to my door a few weeks ago. He didn't mention his affiliation, ask me about mine or try to press upon me any necessity to see things his way. He just asked me questions, listened honestly and made brief replies.
This morning he came back with another guy from his church. He quoted something I had said during our first encounter, saying that it had stayed with him and he gave it some thought.
Anyway, we had a nice conversation, but I felt the need to impress upon him just how ridiculous I thought the Bible is. Respectfully.
So, we went through Adam and Eve. he had some decent counter-arguments, but not sound at all. So, then I just came at him with Noah's Ark, to which he had no clue what to say. Not wanting to admit that the Bible could be only metaphorical, he asked for permission to come by next week with whatever scientific support he could.
Point of the story. A Jehovah's witness is coming by invitation to debate the scientific merits of Noah's Ark.
At first I wanted to look some stuff up to be prepared, but then I realized, "It's Noah's fucking Ark. Nothing he could say or show me would need any extraordinary knowledge to counter."
