Hey Noah,
Yes, I know it was probably a rhetorical question when you asked what are you supposed to do when someone says you’ll turn to Christ (or become a Christian or similar shit) when you’re senile or on your deathbed. But I never let that stop me from giving my opinion before, so I won’t now.
My response to that is generally, “I predict you’ll accept Mohammed on your death bed.” Then when they vociferously refute me, I act like they usually do. “You can say that now, but you know you’ll stop denying Allah’s true prophet when it counts.” Blah blah blah I won’t. “Well that’s how likely I am to turn to your imaginary friend.”
Yeah, they still throw up their defenses (Captain, full power has been diverted to Cognitive Dissonance…and not the podcast) so ultimately it is pointless for them, but if someone, like a radio audience, is listening, maybe you reach them.
Gloryhole motherfucker. And from one Bible Belt resident to another, thanks for being a voice in the darkness.
