So, how do y'all respond when people knock on your door promoting their religion or church?

(This should be good... ???)

Depends on my mood and who I am talking to. Anymore I just take the flyer and say bye but a good debate with an intelligent person is always fun...

I have never understood why everyone gets so bent out of shape about this. If I decide to answer the door that day then I listen and answer any questions they may have. I have no problem with listening to anyone or their beliefs.

I got a big dog. Turns out they won't come near your house if a dog barks at the door, lol.

I ask them what makes them believe in God in their own words. And ask them what makes them believe in that. It's interesting cause they always use the bible when we all know that's not a great reason when it was written l by men, not by God.

I am very straight forward. I tell them that I am not interested. wish them a good day and close the door.

I can tell you about an 'argument' I had with a former brother-in-law on this subject... He is a redneck Missourian it should be noted, from a tiny town with no stores, and dirt streets. I was of the opinion that there was no polite way to get rid of them. POLITE, being the operative word here. He said sure, it's easy. He just tells them he is a different religion. I said NO! Don't say that, or they are convinced they have one foot in the door already! He says nope, not if ya tell 'em the right religion... What, I ask, what religion could that be? He says, I told some at Maw's just last week, I was a morphadite. WHAT!? I say too loudly. Do you even know what that IS? Sure, he sais, it's like them Amish and them. NOOO!I yell, that's MENNONITE. Yeah, he says, them! Well, morphadite, is that a word? Yes. Yes it is. Means your stoopid!

I tell them I don't need their religion because I talk to God personally. You'd be surprised how effective that is at keeping them away.

I NEVER open my door to ANY stranger! People who do are crazy. And I SURE as Hell don't want to listen to evil their bullshit. My sister is a fundi - I get enough as it is.

Last Thursday I had just gotten out of the shower and the door bell rang. I put a robe on and answered the door to find a pair of Jehangir Witnesses . I might not have worn the robe if I knew ahead . I was polite this time . Our conversation went like this :
JWant this doesn't look like a good time , we can come back later . Me that wouldn't work . I'm getting ready to move . JW are you moving far?
Me just to the city
JW could we read some scripture after you move ? Me I am an atheist . JW how do you feel about that ? Me I love it - makes me feel good . They left

I worked nights and would get to bed about 4 in the morning. These morons from the JW church around the corner would come by about every other week at 7am. I told them repeatedly that I worked nights so please don't bother me. They finally quit when I answered the door naked.
