I couldn't help but giggle at some of these results. I was cornered by a Mormon on the street the other day and while I could accept about half of what he was saying we disagreed fundamentally on lots of things, it was actually rather fun to take apart a person's religious faith and point out where their beliefs made no sense. Of course, the guy would not accept my reasoning so no harm was done but I learnt a lot about their faith.

The only thing I said that might have upset him was that there should be carbon dating tests performed on their religious works (the Mormons base their faith on The Book of Mormon, found by a guy in the early 1800s after he was given a vision of where it had been hidden, buried in central South America). I said that if you're going to base your beliefs on something written in a book that is supposed to be very old why not at least prove that it really is that old? That way you can dismiss claims from people such as myself that the guy just made it up so he could start a religion with himself as a prophet.

The Mormon wasn't very happy with my suggestion... I didn't mean to upset him but if he will give me ammunition like that...
