crisis of rationality.

About two years ago a Jehovah's Witness knocked on my door. I told him I was atheist but that I thought it would be fun to talk to him.
So we sat on the front steps on a beautiful summer day and whatever he said I would say something like "prove it." Wouldn't let him use the bible - told him it was a book of ancient fairy tales.

Went on for an hour. He was really frustrated. I think I was getting to him. Without all the bible passages he had nothing. He finally basically ran away.

Two hours later I went outside and he was still sitting in his car that was parked across the street. His head was down and his lips were moving. I brought Mrs. Lib out to see and we had a good chuckle.
