Tried to argue with a crazy person...

Tried to argue with a crazy person...
My most recent discussion on the internet with a theist was with someone that was more crazy than anyone i ever met.

A little background: his father apparently left him very early, and at 12 years old his mother suffered from an incurable condition. He had to stay home and look after her and in the end he had almost no human contact for the next 12 years, until his mother finally died of this illness. He got very depressed, attempted suicide at least once, was on at least 2 different prescription drugs, and spent all his time alone.

Then one day Jesus appeared to him in a vision. He cried tears of joy and his tears turned into bread that he ate. He then received numerous visions from God and now preaches about his message. He goes into the desert to pray and God answers all of his every prayers and speaks to him at least once a week. He also, of course, believes every single word of the Bible literally.

I have to say, some people are too far gone to be saved...

This guy sounds really genuinely barking mad. Its rarely worth trying to argue with someone like that. You're not so much talking to another human as talking to a psychiatric condition.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

It wasnt much of an argument. I was trying to tell him that believing literally a book that talks about Noah's Ark is crazy. He replied saying Noah's Ark was found.
I told him that a book written by the followers of someone cannot be considered as objective. He replied by saying jesus told him, in person, that the New Testament is true....

at that point what can i do ?

Never mud wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it.
