So, I currently work as an overnight stockman for Meijer department stores. Tonight I encountered someone who was, shall we say, interesting.

I was working in Housewares (dishes, plates, cooking utensils, etc) and a woman was looking at a set of plastic cups we had emblazoned with the logos of local college sports teams. The area I live in is on the border with another state so we get cups for both their teams and our own. She was complaining about how all the ones for the team on our side of the state line were sold out, though not really complaining as much as just joking around. She looked to be in her thirties, nice enough woman, nothing out of the ordinary.

Well, we got talking about it, then moved onto TV, then moved onto reality TV, and the conversation turned to the recent brouhaha over the star of Duck Dynasty shooting his mouth off about homosexuality on the air.
This is where it got interesting. She started quoting the bible at me, saying that 'Sodomy is a sin' and that 'God will punish sodomites'.

I, myself, am a homosexual agnostic.

I kept mum about the gay part, but I did say, "Well, I'm agnostic myself so I don't really agree with that..."
She gave me a pitying look at that, then started to go into how her father saved her from the world of agnosticism and evolution...

Yes, you see where we're going with this now don't you?

She started in on how her father was set up to be a scientist, how he was allowed access to all the books in his college library, and how he found a book that "put the lie to evolution" and then quit college, got a 'blue collar' job, and eventually became a minister.

I just shrugged it off for the most part, trying to be polite...

... and then the following happened:

Creationist Customer: "I mean, evolution simply isn't true. Cats have always been cats, dogs have always been dogs. Its in the bible."

GamerLEN: "Mm, sorry but I just don't see it..."
# "Well, let me ask you this, and this is the question that all little schoolkids should ask their teachers."

GamerLEN: "Yeah?"

# "They need to ask 'if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes?'."

... aaaaand that was when I lost it. Not in a rage way, nope, I cracked up and busted out laughing.

She just said it so straight faced, so serious, that I couldn't help it. The kind of logic that I'd expect to either come out of a small child or an elderly man having a bout of dementia.

She got really annoyed at that and asked me my name, so I showed her my name badge and she said, "Well I'll pray for you then GamerLEN." before walking away with her nose in the air.

I'm glad it ended there because after that I simply couldn't take her seriously. I mean that argument? Really? Any kid with a basic understanding of science could've explained that one. Its like a youtube comment escaped from the internet and ambushed me, I could only laugh.

Honestly, as irritating as that woman was, I wanted to thank her if I met her again in the store. I couldn't stop grinning after that all night. Hell I haven't laughed that hard since I found  ashleyfableblack 's page on FA and saw a MLP get cannibalized by an insane muppet.

Yeah, I know I normally don't like seeing something I consider 'cute' get eaten alive, but I guess Ashley and I share the same psychotic sense of humor in some respects.

... I do hope I don't get in trouble for it though.
