I took him out to our picnic table, shook his hand and said "I am an atheist. I have a lot of time and I've been looking for someone to talk to about this."

I kept for about 30 minutes before he ran off. Two hours later I went back outside and he was still sitting behind the wheel of his car, head bent down holding his bible. I assume he was praying for my soul.

Thought about going over to invite him back but thought better of it.
