I have learned it is best to just say I'm atheist and walk away.
You are a better man than I. My reaction to such people is to vigorously trash their claims. Their half-life in my presence is two minutes.
@anglophone Even 2 minutes is too much for me. Nothing I say to them will shake their faith, they on the other hand firmly believe they can change my stance.
and that's the problem, I do not care what they believe or think, live your best life but THEY feel they can try and alter my stance, even when you tell them you're not the least bit interested.
@silverotter11 I have a wicked streak that enjoys making them feel that they haven just encountered the Devil.
@anglophone Well I give you there is THAT!!! hahahaha
I do love the look of panic when they fear that lightening bolt is about to hit!

Too many of them are in positions of power.
