There are mormons...
...at my neighbor's door right now. I think they will be heading this way momentarily. What do you do when these types come to your door?

I'll have to remember that one next time they stop by.
I actually just picked up my God Delusion book and made it look like I was reading that when they rang the bell. It was two acne faced 18 year olds (elder Smith and elder Anderson apparently). Or were they wizards...or was it bards....or paladins...
I asked them if they'd read the book. They said no. I said read it and come back when you have and then I'll consider reading one of your books.
The one with the white shirt and tie said thanks for your time and they left.
I am usually pretty nice though, I wasn't argumentative or a total dick because I feel for these kids in one sense..they've been born into a system and brainwashed from day 1.

Re: There are mormons...
next time a mormon visits, I intend to slowly strip down to my undies, while discussing the finer points of religous belief, etc. I'm half serious about it - i'm very curious to see how they react.tnf wrote:...at my neighbor's door right now.

i think i like the idea of slowly undressing while they're standing there better.
of course if they're 18 year old kids it'd be lost on them anyway. they would freak out, but it wouldn't be due to some kind of religious outrage. and where's the fun in that?
really you'd just be a pervert at that point.

I once had a jesusfreak that brought a little girl, i guess for the cuteness factor. I never open the door for these people, but i had a hangover so i wasn't thinking straight.
He asked me the standard stuff - did i believe in god, could he come in and discuss it - and all the while this six year old was smiling and staring at me, and i was staring back, not sure what to make of it. When he finished speaking, i asked him about the girl. Was it his daughter?
He started smiling one of those religious smiles of joy and said no, it was his little sister. You take your little sister on these things, i asked, don't you think she'd much rather play outside or something?
Instantly his smile of joy turned into an expression of 'i've never been so insulted' and he said 'no no she wants to come along'. Which i didn't believe for a second, so i pressed the issue by going on a vicious little rant... saying i found it completely immoral to bring little girls on conversion excursions, forcing your beliefs on little children is evil, did he do it to open more doors, how the hell had he gained entry to my building in the first place...
But i stopped sort of abruptly when i saw the little girl was looking at me like i was Satan himself. So i told her 'don't worry, you'll grow out of this someday, i hope' and closed the door.
