Years ago I van-pooled into Houston with a fellow who asked me what I thought of an oil prospect located in Israel that he was investing thousands in (he was not rich). When I asked to see the data he told me it was based on biblical prophecy. I told him that I thought he was making a mistake and that it sounded like a scam. He went ballistic and told me I was an atheistic SOB ranting on and on. I told him I believed in God and reminded him that people paid me for the advice that he requested and that I was giving to him for free… so knock it off. He sat in a huff the rest of the ways to Houston. About 3 months later I came across an article in the paper about an oil scam involving drilling oil wells in Israel. I asked him about it and all he could do is get huffy again and tell me to mind my own business, which I was glad to do. What a jerk!
The moral is, sometimes you just can’t help people, they just have to learn the hard way.
