On the Gladly Suffering of Fools
#5
RE: On the Gladly Suffering of Fools
Ahaha!
Well, since Im new to Athiesim, my longing to get into a debate with a hardcore Christian or someone of reilgious perspectives will probably wear off soon, and I shall get sick of there one-sided, science lacking, mumbo-jumbo arguements, however I have decided to prolong it as long as I can.
This afternoon, after returning home from school, I find myself in the middle of one of these exact debates with the local Jevoah Witnesses who like to patrol the streets looking for 'victims'. Unfortanley, they picked the wrong house to pick on this afternoon.
After handing me a brochure, full of depressing information on how the world will end, I am asked a question by the JW, about what current reilgion I am now, and whether I would like to attend a meeting. I had a blanat answer for them:
No, I do not want to, and I am Athiest.
At this, a blank look of suprise crossed there faces before they replied with the usual nonsense of how I would not be saved, and all this other garbage. I poiletly asked them if they would like to come inside and talk about freedom of religion. They promplty ran away, telling God to save me all the way up the drive.
Well, at least they wont be knocking on my door anytime soon.
“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” - Stephen Roberts
