Next time ask him to "invite" you to lunch in writing and tape the conversation. Then sue the crap outta him and the company he legally represents. You have a right to not be harassed on your lunch break!

yay! you nailed it - without stigmata.

HR is occasionally the very most useful service in the universe.

Well done, Sir. That is awesome.

Good for you!

I never argue with these mor[m]ons.

Sounds like you had a grand time. And he learned not to mess with an educated thinker !

Once got ambushed by a similar 'talk'

What made mine amusing was that the talk was the icing on my 'stupidity cake'

Last year of undergrad I was dating a good friends sister...that lived in the house next door... with her parents... while dating, I ended up working for her dad......who happened to be the backup minister at their church?!?

One night,after work, he invited me out to dinner......turns out it was to discuss my eternal soul and the forging love of jess

Only upside was that the girl was moderately agorophobic.....so, I accepted a graduate assistants hip 5-states away and loaded the moving truck in the dark of night

I got fired for being an Atheist. Or rather, my project was cancelled by my Evangelical boss's boss and I was laid off 2 days after I put up a "Zombie Jesus" poster in my cubicle.

I once had a manager tell me, at my annual performance review, that I should become a Buddhist to seek a path of self-discovery.

You're my hero!

Nice and brave comeback. There used to be an executive at my company (he is no longer there) that was a preacher on the side. I used to be subjected to his long daily ‘god talks’ with the guy a couple of cubicles over. The worst part was that this Exec was head of HR so there was no way anyone would complain.
