Ping.
Years ago, I had a friend of mine, a lieutenant in the Marines, who wanted to get married to his girlfriend. One problem was that she was Catholic and he was Baptist and both argued over which church they should be married in. I know because I was present while they were arguing. It was going back and forth until he finally made the case by stating that it said in the Bible John the BAPTIST.
I thought there was no way she was going to buy that argument but, to my astonishment, she agreed and they ended up getting married in a Baptist church. At the time I was tempted to point out the flaws in my friend's argument but then decided to keep out of it since the issue they had been arguing about had been resolved.
So whenever I see anything about John the Baptist, my mind always floats back to being witness to that argument they had and how it was resolved. Maybe by relating it could serve the purpose of pointing out the general lack of biblical (also historical) knowledge nowadays.
And don't get me started about the time I told a friend that I saw a movie about Martin Luther and she asked if it included his speech at the National Mall in Washington D.C..
