Religious Question

[Not_A_Llama]

I don't understand why people have such a disdain for Mormons. I really feel like most people know next to nothing about Mormons and they get a totally unjustified bad rap. I have a Mormon friend who's family moved her to Utah to be even more Mormon, and every time I've asked her about something, she always said something along the lines of "I don't know where you heard that, but I wasn't ever taught that, and never knew anyone who believed anything like that." She also loves the Mormon episode of South Park.

You also don't learn about Xenu and body thetans until you're a couple ten grand into the scientology game, and by that point, you're too invested in it to throw away a major part of your life. See if she knows about the holy underwear.

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.

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.

I live in a gated community, and they have a sign like the one above at all the gates, and they still come knocking 1-2 times a year, I just tell them if they were not able to read the sign at the gate where they came in, the police will be glad to read it to them while they write them a trespassing ticket... and I already called them when I seen you pull up, and they usually get to the exit rather fast.

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.

[Elhuero]

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.

I politely answer the door, but if I say thanks, and I'm not interested, they should say the same and leave. When they start asking or "telling" after that, I get more firm with them leaving the porch.
