Ruth MottramI had Jehovah's Witnesses round this morning (not a very common occurrence round here).
Them: "Do you ever think about the future?"
Me: "I'm a climate scientist, I think it about the future all the time.."
BrianKrebs@Ruth_Mottram Growing up, my dad (a strong Catholic) used to welcome the Hare Krishnas, Jehovah's Witness, and the young men from the Mormon church who came by from time to time. He would sit out on the lawn and bring chairs out for everyone and offer peach daiquiris for them (they always refused). And then he'd try to convert them to Catholicism.
AlexanderMars@briankrebs that sounds a little like my dad, a minister with advanced degrees in philosophy, theology and education. He LOVED to deconstruct dogma, or explain to his colleagues why their translation/interpretation was wrong.
Funny, he was surprisingly cool about me being an atheist, it became something for us to debate and rib each other over.
