My parents were gone shopping so I was the only one home. I suddenly get a knock on my door so I opened it to find Jehova's witness. They guy started to speak about how amazing Jesus is. The bullsh*t was intensifying. So, I just interrupted him and told him that I don't believe in that crap and that I'm an atheist and I politely asked him to leave. But no, instead he asks me this magnificent question "You! An atheist! That can't be you're too young to be one! Are you sure?". He left me speechless. With no response I just slammed the door.
Any thoughts on this?
Given that you were an atheist (that is, not a believer in anything, much less a believer in a god) when you were born, it seems a very strange attitude on his part.
