Not the end of the story I expected. I thought maybe he was just after your body not to convert you

Forgot to ask whether or not he's been back?

Conclusion; I failed to mention that once I finished my argument, citing how the net impact of religions was extremely negative, the pastor reaffirmed my point by saying, "So what you're saying is that Christianity should be done away with, in order to stop people from killing each other." Not only did he agree with the accuracy of this fact, but he actually recapitulated it for me!

Boy sure sounds like he would've jumped your bones in and around the sermon he gave you.
My horns are trying to pop out with all the shenanigans I might have subjected him to if I'd the f's to give to such matters. "May I record this so I can reflect on it later?" ??

A lot of them are all the same. I once knew a man who thought himself a preacher and a prophet. Both of us at that time were in a cult-like group that was THE true religion. When I left he stayed because he wanted to be a preacher and a profit.

Probably not worth the effort. You don't need to think like them, they don't need to think like you. Great for stimulating debate to sharpen the intellect but when it gets to ad hominim name calling best walk away. No intellectual purchase there.

Bloody let him ramble on next time, see where he take it and record him!

Wait, you let a priest into your house? And you were alone?? Me thinks you are far too friendly with the wrong people, Friendlycatlady

Hell is any easy argument. The Jews do not believe in hell. Hell is a catholic creation. In fact it has been admited by catholic priests.

I hope you told him to stay away?

Some people are willfully ignorant. They honestly choose to think in magical terms. This guy sounds like he’s more interested in using his knowledge of religion and his position to get down your pants. He’s probably only mercenarily Christian. It reminds me of the catholic priests that Martin Luther had a problem with.

Why are these smug religious pricks so consumed with religion? It's like they can't go one minute a day without mentioning something pertaining to God or the bible. Do they have that shitty a personality?

Destined to go to a place which we don’t believe exists by a god there is no evidence for. Hmmmm. Show that dude the door. ?

Next time someone says that, come back with, "if hell exists, Satan's afraid I'm gonna take over. He'll just toss me a coal & tell me to start a place of my own."

When a believers last words are you are going to Hell, it is because they have run out of argument. It is their version of, "Well...well.... FUCK YOU."

First off, just randomly having neighbors over as replacements for friends and family is culturally tumorous because it encourages stupid behavior. What is the value of friendship if it is given away cheaply and to any old person. like halloween candy? Have your actual loved ones over your house. Tell your doofy pastor neighbor to get a life and stop pretending like your home is his home.

If your rebuttal of a very easy to disprove idea is to talk about how practitioners of that idea were going off of that idea to be evil people, then I can see why you lost the normative component of the argument.

Your argument was essentially "This idea is bad because people who believed it were bad". This is blatantly fallacious because it is not keeping to the point. Absolutely nobody takes an L for not agreeing with that.

What is wrong with approaching religion with attention, and logical thinking? It's not hard to point out the fallacies of religion. Sorry, but you deserved the less than graceful outcome of that conversation.

For the future, I am going to make it easier for you, so when you have your second discussion with him, you can actually explain to him why his beliefs are ridiculous. It is absurd that we have this whole community of irreligious people who don't even understand why irreligiousness has become the new peak of theosophical knowledge. I blame hormones in the milk and too many superbowl commercials, personally.

1. There are different levels of logical argument. The only necessarily true level consists of strong induction, "thus", "ergo" and "therefore" conclusions. No religious argument is able to use strong induction to prove the existence of God, so thus they don't hold logical beliefs.

2. Ask him to prove that God exists, and everything else about his religion. Reply with the reasons why his arguments are fallacious without being overly formal-your critique should clearly point out the nonsensical thinking in his beliefs.

3. Walk through the fallacies in the Bible with him. I recommend buying a copy, and then just showing him why each passage is ridiculous. Try not to pick silly subject matter like wearing mixed fabrics, because Christians, being the low-IQ version of Jews, either don't know what fabrics are, cannot read, or don't follow that rule.

4. It is likely that your pastor friend cannot read. Please kindly remind him that there are six methods of interpreting the Bible, and that thusly, nobody actually knows what it means, even in the highest Christian clergy.

5. Speak calmly. Don't use forceful speech, don't use forceful or invasive body language, don't talk at him. Just listen completely, speak attentively, and say everything that needs to be said. If you try to get heated and rant at him, then he's not going to listen and you will just register as another crazy irreligious. This is part of the normative reason why religious people don't like the concepts of atheism, agnosticism, etc. They think that you have to be a crazy, feral, immature and dumb person to be in those communities. In actuality, they are just there to make intelligent people laugh.

He's trying to convert you and get some.
He's a hypocrite and a degenerate.
Nothing would make me happier than to have someone like that put themselves in the position of having to listen to me tell them ALL about them.

In the mind of the religious there is no delusion.

Why is he without his wife? Sounds like he wanted more than conversion or conversation. Tell him he can help you find peace by shutting the hell up.
