This made me happy!

Got this from an e-mail list of an atheist group that meets up in Virginia:

"Speaking of comming out. I tried it Saturday. I was at the Pottery Shop in Williamsburg. Just before I reached the entrance a man approached me with a small book in his hand.
He walked up to me and showed me the book. It was the New Testiment. With a warm smile on my face I took his hand, that had the book in it, with both of my hands and looked looked directly at him saying "Thank you very much but I'm an athiest and I am sure that their are others that would like the book.
His expression froze, he said nothing, and just looked at me. I nodded, gave him another plesant smile, turned and walked away. He was not there when I left the Pottery Factory.

I suspect that it's perdition for me, but some how I had to do it."

Cool. I think this is the most profound argument this theist has ever seen against his faith. I bet he thought about that for the rest of the day, perhaps longer.

The Enlightenment wounded the beast, but the killing blow has yet to land...

Yes, no doubt the xian

Yes, no doubt the xian assumed that all Atheists have horns and tails.  Surely he thinks that they're incapable of being warm people who are able to smile.

 Yup, I'll bet that simple act gave him a lot to think about for a long, long time.
