Free Ipod? lol

Good point though.

Edit: Just changed the avatar.


Yeah, the avatars are alphabetical & that one seems to be the default?
 
Heehee, that I like. A little trauma like that serves them right for going around trying to guilt trip people into listening to religious dogma simply because they're a pack of kids.

Religion is a very personal and touchy subject, especially when it differes from yours. Better the kids learn that now in a way they're not liable to forget.

Yeah, and it also tends to be the one spammers have since they don't bother to change their's.
 
I remember when they came to my place, my brother inlaw invited them in, cracked open a 2'6er of rye and started to drink it

Yeah, rather than just tell them to leave, you have to scare little kids with a gun. That's being a real man right there.

Those people drag their kids along as a marketing ploy. A little kid says he accepts Jesus because the parents lead him on, and he wants their approval, so he just goes "Yeah, whatever, I'm all down with this Jesus stuff." And he goes along and spouts off about what his parents told him to say, so you'll be all "Aww, look at the little kid. If he believes it, it must be true. I'm converted!!!!"

If atheists or maybe Wiccans went door-to-door like that, there'd probably be legislation put forth pretty damn quickly to make it legal to have them arrested for trespassing and aggravated mental assault. It'd be national news about how the damn atheists are trying to corrupt our children, and eat our babies, and how they must be stopped.

You should keep an open mind about things and people though OP.
Your religion and your beliefs are your business so leave me the fvck alone. As simple as that. (Not directed at you, but door to door religion morons in general.)

😉 kind of funny. You should keep an open mind about things and people though OP. But yeah, if they were being overly persistent...

Plus, they should have been more considerate. If it is dinner time, let a person relax.

I hate them just as much when I'm washing my car on a Saturday morning as I do at dinner time. They should really keep their word to themselves. I don't want to hear it. :thumbsdown:
 
when i lived in the US, two guys once came. we tried to explain to them that we're jewish. you think they cared? they started telling us why we should convert. we just closed the door on them. they kept knocking so we threw water baloons at them from upstairs! it was so funny! why do christians think they can or should convert other ppl? although technically i'm jewish, i'm more aethist.
 
This is the reason why we have a front gate.
If they walk in and knock on the door, we open the window and ask what they want.
If they bring up any religious thing, we shut it on them.

That way we don't have to walk to the front door and have to pretend we're listening.
 
Thats why my wife deals with those crazy fools. She, being a former witness herself. Otherwise, I would go outside and verbally put my foot up thier arse. If you don't have a legitamate reason to knock on my door.... shove the foock up.

Because many think they are better than others and are the "chosen ones". It's really a bunch of BS drilled into them by power hungry morons.

I am a Christian but I don't go to church, I don't put my beliefs on others, and I can't stand any that try.

Let people live their own life, believe in whatever God you want, and be good to others.
 
... at my last house, we had a group of elderly african amercian ladies who used to make the rounds of our neighborhood trying to save everyone. At first it was cute, then it got to be annnoying, because if you didnt answer the door theyd just keep hitting the doorbell for a half hour or more (@9am on Saturdays). I finally went out and bought one of those SATAN INSIDE stickers and started hanging it on my front door on the weekends. The next time they knocked, I congratulated them for converting me... they left us alone after that.
