So some bible-thumpers came to my house...

Old lady: "Sir, excuse me - I would just like to inform you that Jesus loves you."
me: "Sweet I love Jesus."
ol: "Well, that's nice. I can tell from your eyes that you are a very kind person."
me: "Hey, thanks."
ol: "Have a nice day sir."

Not too bad really. If they came to my house though, I might not have as much time to listen to them. I guess I was feeling accomodating that time.

see you there.
 
I usually just talk to them. I'm secure enough in my beliefs and generally well-versed enough in theirs to have a discussion. I'll just keep on talking to them until they realize they have no chance of converting me and decide to leave. I'll usually bring up Jefferson's bible, and talk about how Jesus was a cool guy and all, but I don't believe he was the son of god.
 
I don't answer the door, I just let my dog bark at them until they go away.

If I'm in the garage and I see them coming I will close the garage door, go inside and repeat step one.
 
I politely take their magazine/pamphlet things, let them speak about how the world is fscked up and Jesus will soon return.. smile and nod a lot..

And then I put the pamphlets into the paper bin used to start the woodstove.

How do you know I'm not posting from there.
 
i must've had that "sucker" look in college because the only time people greeted me out of no where while walking around campus were those who, after a line or two of greeting and chit-chat, would say "so, i'm going to this church gathering on [insert day of week] and was wondering if you're interested." :disgust: :roll:

so, you college freshman, get ready for some thumpin'
 
Tell them I am not interested, I do this politely as I can.

This week at NDSU we had a bunch of guys handing out bibles, one of them tried to give me one. Naturally, I declined however if he pestered me I would have told him I don't read fiction.
 
I'd probably tell them I'm not interested, I've got very sadistic thoughts to what I'd do to a telemarketer or bible thumpers but when the occasion comes, I just find it too hard to be mean and just tell them politely that I'm not interested or explain why I'm not interested in 50 issues to the mercurytimes. On the street, if they were to confront me, I'd likely argue with them about how they're wrong for an hour or so...
 
1) If it's a cute chick, let her "convert" me

or

2) Wait for them to pause and say, "Sorry, but I'm not religious and don't want to be. Have a nice day."
 
A guy I know talked to those bible-thumpers for 6 hours straight, then they came back again and this time he talked all day with them. after that, they would walk to the neighbors house, walk past his, and walk to the other neighbors house.
 
The last time they came I told them no thankyou and they got pushy so I very rudely told them I seek out my own salvation and I don't need their path to the Lord.

They haven't come back since. (3+ years!)
