This morning just before first coffee, two True Believers rang my bell. They had white shirts, ties, one with a scripture book, the other with a notebook. They wanted to share "some good new from the Lord." I was not polite. I said that I didn't have time to listed to their "fucking delusions." I hope the Lord will forgive me. (And of course, you know that I don't give a shit whether any deity forgives me or not.)
I wish I had the balls to do that. I don't like being that straightforward because I know that everybody sees them as the 'good guys' regardless of the fact that they walked onto MY property spitting THEIR bullshit down my throat. It turns into a big deal that I just don't want to deal with so I decline. OR I start debating! Which is always fun until you get tired of running in circles.
I just tell them I'm not interested in their product.
Personally, I think it is better to hit them with kindness while letting them know that we are non-believers. This way they can see that one does not need a god to be good and considerate. And, perhaps they will think twice the next time they hear about how awful non-believers are.
Invite them in to share a coffee and put on some music, maybe Monty Python - Every Sperm is Sacred should be ok
When someone knocks on my door the first thing they see through the glass is a 150# black jumping straight up in the air and barking like he wants to tear someone's head off. But he's a good boy.
