I've got a situation which has meant that soon I will be in close proximity to someone I really don't want to bump into without being primed and having thought out some sensible responses. I don't want to be in a situation where the only response I have is to blow my stack and punch the guy out.
This guy is an elder, reasonably well switched on and a lifer. He's also an inflexible SOB who is certain of his own righteousness.
What I need is a simple response for when he starts bible punching about the 'hope for the future' and how I have thrown it all away. I don't really want to just turn round and call him a cnut but would rather have a few solid tidbits that I could lay the seed of doubt with. Nothing too heavy or too doctrinal and certainly nothing obscure that would scream of apostacy.
Any ideas?
