Jargon, not argument, is your best ally in keeping him from the Church. Don't waste time trying to make him think that materialism is true! Make him think it is strong or stark or courageous—that it is the philosophy of the future. That's the sort of thing he cares about.

If they laugh and smack the ground saying “Bold ground,” then you pick yourself up and get on with it.
