My only encounter with a hardcore Christian was at work. He believed all sorts of conspiracy theories and was very vocal about them.
He did actually use the Ray Comfort banana argument on me. It came on a printed card that he gave out (maybe a JW) that he obviously had been handing out to people. When I debunked it he said it wasn't a very good argument to use (so why use it?).
After the usual 911 bollocks, aliens are demons, pope is satan etc etc , he also told me about water powered cars. I explained why they couldn't possibly exist and his response was that the oil companies had distorted my degree course so I wouldn't believe water powered cars could exist.
He was finally sacked recently, mostly due to his crazy beliefs influencing his work. I think it was him that sparked my interest in people with irrational beliefs. I'll probably never come across anyone that crazy every again.
