Religious Question

[sabot_round]

Ok so this may offend some but I have to ask it! Why do religious people feel the need to turn up at my door to talk about religion?

Two guys with a baby turn up at my house yesterday Bibles in hand to discuss Jesus’ sacrifice!

Am I interested – no!
Should I tell them why – no!

I find this as irritating as hell and next to all the ‘God Squad’ bumper stickers!

Have these people ever heard of privacy?

I had a whole family stop by my garage one day. As I was reloading, the head of the family proceeded to talk, and I politely asked them to leave, as I was cranking up another round. That jacka$$ had the balls to ask me why.

Why? you are invading my privacy and you're asking me why? In my house? Are you serious?

I felt like singing some explicit lyrics but to respect his wife and kids, I exercised restraint. They left after my rant though.

I don't get bothered by roaming evangelicals anymore once I stopped answering the door. If I'm not expecting someone, I don't bother answering. 99% of the time it's a salesman or a bible thumper anyways. Yeah, I guess you could say I'm a bit anti-social.

Honesty, I don't mind them. They are only doing what they feel they must. So long as they respect my wishes when I politely say 'no thanks', all is well.

I dated a mormon girl for about two months.

Many of their practices are VERY different from Christianity, and many of their beliefs and hidden practices would not be looked on favorably in a public light.

Now, I must qualify, that I do not think all mormon churches are like this, but the one I had experience with definitely had some weird things going on, and, in my eyes, some less than acceptable beliefs.

Yes and that last 1% of the time its someone trying to make the news.


We stopped answering the door and the phone (have a machine that does that for us) ... since we don't have friends that just drop in its never been anything but a positive for us.

Hey.
Oh, thanks... but I'm not interested... but hey, have a great day.

Sunday Mormons can I can tolerate... but when you get really involved and live/believe what Mormonism entails.... scary stuff...

http://www.lifeafter.org/ <--- site that explains some of their beliefs and etc. Interesting reading.


And Stu, sacrificing was done in the Old Testament as a way to ask for forgiveness of sin. There isn't any sacrificing in the New Testament (grr.. been a while, I hope I remember correctly) as JC was the last sacrifice needed to erase our sins. The NT is what Christians are supposed to be living with now. The OT should be treated as a historical reference and to see the Laws that man could not uphold.

heh bigbear says go here to find out about Mormons and posts an anti-Mormon website.

here's the website you should go to if you have questions about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: http://lds.org

I get a chuckle out of people that cry because someone knocked on their door.

LDS says that they do not practice, nor support polygamy.

Answer the door naked and armed, they will quit stopping by

Sure, after the police arrest you and you are on Megan's List and can't ever get a decent job again.

the "I just answer the door naked" or "I answer with a bloody knife" or "I answer with a gun" or "I tell them I'm satan"


all this crap is just internet talk. nobody ever does it.
