Do you argue with religious people?

Oh man, I had a JW come to my door. His name was Mike and he was cool as hell (sorta). I would invite him in just to shoot the shit, and besides, my lady just left me so I was kinda lonely. At that point, I would have said I was a Christian, even though I didn't practice, and anybody who did practice scared the shit out of me, so I thought JWs were weird as hell.

So, one day, Mike comes up and asks how I'm doing. I tell him I'm just playing some guitar and watching my daughter dance around (at this point, she was just learning to stand and walk). Mike gets all excited and sits down and starts playing some Black Sabbath and The Wind Cries Mary by Jimi (very fucking cool). At this point, he had been there a while, and my daughter has very obviously filled her diaper, and I'm not about to leave the room and let some stranger sit in my house alone, so I figure he'd leave in a minute. Nope! He sets down the guitar and says, and I quote, "Well, that's enough sinnin' for today. Let's talk about the good news." He talks for another 10 minutes while my daughter is growing more and more agitated. I finally had to ask him to leave so I could take care of business.

Now, the overstaying his welcome I attribute to just some social faux pas, what really got me was calling guitar playing "sinnin", but also that he was willing to do it for a short time, AND had some sort of guage for "enough sinnin". I felt so bad for him, because while he was playing, you could see how much he was enjoying himself. There are very little connections like that between two musicians, and it's just sad to see someone throw it away like that. He and I would have probably been good friends in another life.
