conversation w/ my ultra theist landlord

[darkblight]

you cannot battle ignorance w/ logic. i am not sure what to battle it with.. i mostly try to use hypothetical situations to get the person to see the error in their judgment.. but that does not seem to work either.

Then I'd just ask him if he believes in any other religions, and when he says no, ask "why not?" Then explain to him that the reasons he doesn't believe in those religions are the same reasons you don't believe in his.

been there done that

he goes like this:

my religion is the truth, all the others are not truth, the bible is the absolute word of god, for it is the only book that explains the origins of words

then he goes into this whole 30 minute explanation on the "origin" of words, saying only the bible explains where "words" come from.. he then asks like.. what was the FIRST word man made, and ill say something liike: prob a shriek of pain that other primates knew was a shriek of pain

and he goes.. NO the first word is the first word of the bible and thats why it is true.

ad nasueum.




and to the other person im not trying to make the dude sound dumb, i recalled the conversation from my mind as best as i could... and i feel i was 85% accurate in the wording.
