My dad supposedly went to Bible school, though my mother claims not to know much about the Bible despite reading it every single morning. So she suggested I speak to their pastor about questions I have because they can't seem to counter my talking points effectively. They claimed he is friendly, and I have no doubt about that, but I wonder how productive a ' discussion will be.
Maybe that's cynical of me, but I don't feel I will learn much I didn't already know. There are plenty of things I could chose to discuss: Similarity of Zarathustrian religion to the Bible, the differences between the Synoptic Gospels (something I need to do more research on) or the ridiculousness of Noah's Flood. I don't want it to turn out into a debate.
