I met a guy in a sauna the other day who started preaching to me and saying that he doesn’t believe in science because it contradicts the bible story of creation.

I just had nothing to say to this man. His perception of reality is so far off base that I cannot comprehend his thought processes.

did you ask him why he thinks that the bible is true?

  “Because it is the word of god”
  
  “Ok, and you know that because…?”
  
  "The Bible says so.’
  
  “And why do you think the Bible is true?”
  
  Rinse and repeat

  This is what lead me to question my own faith: just someone asking honest questions with real curiosity

  I was trying to relax in the sauna, so I didn’t want to get into it. Which is part of the problem with preaching like that!

Maybe the temperature of the sauna was a little to high?

I went to a catholic school in my country. We got teach biology, evolution, genetics and we also got sexual education including abortion (the practice was illegal at the time). One of the first things that i remember from our teology classes was that “we shouldn’t take what is written in the bible in a literal sense and that most of it was written to a particular volk in a particular time by men”… and the example the Father used was specifically the Genesis, meaning “earth was not created in 6 days”.

I read stories of those lunatics, i mean, those who trully are in a crusade against reality. Are those more common over the ecuator or something?

Do you think he understands everyone else’s though processes? Presumably if you were surrounded by guys like him then you would be able to comprehend the way they think.
