So I had Jehovah witness come to door the other day and they started with there usual questions .
So when the we’re done I asked them, Do you drive a car? (Yes) Than I asked,,
Do you believe in evolution? (No)
So than I said,,, The fossil fuels you use to fuel your car take hundreds of thousands and millions of years to evolve.
(They look at me confused.)
Than I said with that in mind,,, How old is religion??
( Still confused look) and hesitate to respond to my question, i said take all the time you need but not hear, I’m busy have a nice day.
Just loved the satisfaction of the confusion on their faces .

Wow really. You really have nothing better to do than correct me for spelling?
Pretty sad
@Dombrowski47 You assume i am did not agree with your bits. Bad emotional response. You need to think more about what is not said before you respond. I was suggesting you will be more understood, and less off-putting, if you spend some of YOUR LIFETIME fixing your ability to communicate than giving shit to those who have actually read your words.
@Jacar
You are correcting my spelling, and the the truth is ,we all make mistakes especially when texting.
You go to far and sad, and emotional? You are a hypocrite .
A new wrinkle is many are now flat earthers too.

I try to be polite tell them I'm an atheist, followed by go in peace and may your god go with you.
And as far as the oil goes I would replace the word evolve with form not trying to be critical.

Well everything in this universe evolves,
Just the most logical word.
What do you suggest ?
Fermented?
@Dombrowski47 from what I understand it was a biomass of Plankton under heat and pressure under millions of tons of rock so I would go with formed not fermented. It really doesn't matter that much to me I try to use as little as possible. You still had a good response to the JW's ?
I’m confused as well. Fossil fuels evolve? Surely not in the biological sense.

Why are you confused?
The world evolves,
We evolve
Everything in the universe evolves
@Dombrowski47 It’s confusing because words have different uses. My use is more restricted to biology. This is not an uncommon usage.Yours is more general.
@indirect76
Well perception of the word:
Anything that changes over time evolves
So I think it’s very fitting and compelling in this case, especially if it’s gets people thinking about the blinders they have on
@Dombrowski47 Do you really not see how people might think you are referring to the theory of evolution if you say evolve?
Also, what point were you making with comparing the ages of fossil fuels and religion? I’m afraid I’m just as confused on that as your doorstep visitors.
What ever, people need to lighten up.
It’s the point and perception that was precived here. Most logical people get it
@Dombrowski47 I’m honestly just trying to help. I think your argument is flawed, but perhaps can be improved so it’s not confusing. It seems like you are making a fallacy of equivocation with your word use. Though I would not say it’s deliberate.
Further, the main core of what you are saying is vague. If they were young earth creationist I could maybe see where you are going. Fuel is older than religion, therefore... what? Evolution is true? Religion is false?
Anyone who goes out of their way to annoy you definitely deserves a little comeuppance.

Did not feel that way at all.
But I do like to share logic, to those who are blinded.
And you can save your insults for 5 year olds , I do not engage with that silly shit sir
I would tell them what my father used to tell them:" Awake and Watchtower? Oh, I don't know about that but don't you have naked girls or sex magazines, I like those!"

I use to force them to think when they came, (almost to the point of smoke coming out their ears . . ) I would engage them in conversation and literally rip their bullshit apart in front of them, and watch them flounder. Never once had any of the same ones come back for a repeat . . . . It was a form of entertainment for me.

I have a Chartres labyrinth mowed in my front yard. I had some JWs stop when I was out trimming it. They started making small talk about my "maze." I told them it was not a maze, but a labyrinth. You lose yourself in a maze. You find yourself in a labyrinth.
They wanted to talk their talk. I said, "you walk my labyrinth, then I will listen to your spiel." They headed to their car. I told them not to come back unless they were willing to walk the labyrinth. That was 7 years ago and I haven't had any stop since.

I answer the door naked and invite them in to watch some TV. Usually works.

"We are all atheists here," I say, waving grandly to include the entire neighborhood.
They leave.
