California E&S Insurance

A guy started scream-reading bible verses on BART (the Bay Area CA's public train), and then the funniest thing happened I've ever seen. This literally, actually happened years ago, I thought I'd just tell you the story. So a weirdo-looking guy gets on our car on Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART). We're mostly all on our way home from work in SF back to the East Bay. He stands in the middle of the car, pulls out his bible, holds it out in front of him, and starts yelling scripture at all of us. Lots of fire and brimstone-sounding shit. Of course most of us are scared and/or uncomfortable, a few people started grumbling, etc., I assume a lot of us were worried some kind of extremist religious terrorist attack was about to happen (America). After like a full two minutes of him yelling bible verses at us and everyone being scared/pissed off, this nerdy D&D-looking ponytail dude with a wallet chain reaches into his backpack and pulls out a book. Motherfucker stands up, holds out Lord of the Rings in front of him, and begins scream-reading Tolkien at the same volume as the dude reading bible shit. Jesus and Frodo were getting yelled at all of us neck and neck like dueling banjos. The whole car burst out laughing and cheering and the bible guy immediately got embarrassed and got off at the next stop. Fucking nerd chad saved the whole car. Several of us thanked him "that was awesome dude" etc. It was honestly one of the best things I've ever seen. This isn't exactly "r/atheist," but I thought it was on brand and you guys would get a kick out of it. It was so perfectly timed and the nerdy guy saving the car from the weirdo by out-weirding him was majestic (and poignant in its own way).
