I won;t go into detail...
What astounded me was what happened next. He tried to convince me he was right by sending me poems. These poems were about the working man written by one of his favourite poets, which he used as his 'evidence' that he was right.
I thought it was only in religion this happened!
From there on in, I realised I would be better off debating with a brick wall.
Were they communist poems?
