I can't stand it when they drag the poor kids along. That is just WRONG.
Leave me alone. If I want religion I'll go find it myself. Stop preying on the vulnerable.

I suppose it's because most people have tried to be polite about it and yet they keep coming back. I've told them I'm not interested and no one is listening. I know they don't get their jollies from annoying me, but then they should really make a note of who wants more info and who doesn't and leave the ones who don't alone. But they don't do this, they keep coming back. So I feel as if I can either be really really rude or have a bit of fun (if snarky). Let me note that I would do this to anyone who kept pestering me when I've made it clear I don't want what they're offering - from God to vacuum cleaners.

As much as I hate proselytizing, it should be pointed out that the JW and LDS and others do this because they genuinely believe they have been commanded by God to do so. Not because they get their jollies out of pissing people off. When they come to the door, I simply tell them politely I'm not interested and that's it. I guess I don't understand why some people feel the need to be snarky about it.

These questions from the same folks that don't believe in birthday celebrations or blood transfusions. I like to answer the door and pretend I have Turrets Syndrome. It really freaks them out a bit.

The last time one came to my door I simply told him that I was an agnostic. He said, "Is that some kind of Protestant?" "No. It is a Voodooist." He left in a rather large hurry and I haven't seen one since. I can't find the mark on the door, but if I do I'll send it along.
I have no problem with anyone beliefs, just leave me alone, pretty please.

Someone telling you which religion you should or shouldn't follow is right up there with telemarketers in my book (and it's a very wee book, honest!).

I know what you believe, now leave me alone to believe in what I believe. Let's agree to never bring this up again ok? Good, now step away from the door and take your pamphlets with you!
