You meet a man on the street, at the park, or the jellybean store.
The conversation quickly turns to, let's say, a politically incorrect, moral question.
You immediately pull out your Bible, but he stops you. 'I am an Atheist,' he says.
'We don't believe in the Bible.'
What do you do?
Do you appeal to his reason or just drop the subject? We now present to you
this analogy showing three options.
Excuse me, miss. Hand over your money.
My money? But you can't...Stay away! Don't come any closer.
Oh...on second thought, well... but you can't use that.
I'm from the American Switchblade Association...
We don't believe in guns.
You don't believe in guns?
Well Fine, Here!
But you'll never get away with this.
Hey, Boss.
How are the wife and kids? Yeah?
Well, ah...I went to the bank, and...
Yeah. I forgot the checks.
Well...Yes sir, I know...Well, I didn't mean to forget the checks, and...
Yes sir, I know it's the fourth time but studies show that 68 percent of
employees forget to...
Yes sir,...bye.
Oh... I'm sorry about that.
Hand over your money.
Well... This is some sort of joke, right?
But you don't understand.
I don't have the money. I left the checks... Hold on... I have a gun.
I'm a member of the American Switchblade Association, and we
don't believe in guns. What do you mean?
Well, we don't believe guns are...effective, or...reliable.
You don't? But there are all sorts of documents, statistics, historical accounts even.
Like this one: Here. look. 'On May 30, 1806, First name: Charles, last name:
Dickinson, was shot and killed in a duel, after he himself fired the first shot which
wounded his opponent, who was none other than Andrew Jackson, the future president, who
is also well known for his opposition to the National bank and his
utter contempt for paper currency.' Oh, and see here, '98.9 percent of people who get
a bullet in the heart die...
...guns...reliable...
...they're totally reliable.
I wouldn't try that.
But I don't believe in guns.
[gun shot]
Do you "believe" in guns now?
The Bible is reliable and effective, whether you believe in it or not.
So don't be afraid to pull the trigger.
