In an appropriately sincere way in an American accent. Turns out he is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He had a badge saying he was a minister or lector or some such preachy-esque title. So we had a wee chat and I was rather flattered that he wanted to save me from, well stuff! We both quoted the Bible back and forth and I was impressed by his sincerity. He wanted to carry on talking to me but having just received a cell call from my sister to meet her I had to leave. Here's the thing. I gave him my mobile phone number so he could call and arrange a meeting probably at my home to talk further about God. He gave me some references to reading material I should/could read prior to our next meet. This was after establishing that I think every person has their own idea of what God is, if anything, and I prefer to use the term spirit or Great Spirit. So I asked him to listen to Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" if possible before we meet, and to consider that If God is the light, then humans can be equated to panes of glass. When the light shines through them the light takes on the colour of the glass. I think Mormons believe in Creationism so I will be interested to hear what he has to say. I want to be very forceful will him/them, about the sincerity of my beliefs but I do not want to criticise his beliefs or shatter his dreams. Just thought I'd add that as it seemed to me to be a coincidence.
