Bible bashers knocking on your door

Indeed it was. I particularly liked the ending. When Al was exposed for the fraud that he was (for going on a date and having sex with his wife), he did a very realistic imitation of Jimmy Swaggart.
You almost have to be rude to them as they don't seem to be able to take a hint..except the few times the pushers are attractive ladies:smile:[then I try to chat them up!] I could be converted with the right incentives:lol:
Perhaps atheists don't feel the need to ***** them selves out like the shameless door to door Christians?
I heard that if you put a red cross on your door(signifying you give blood)then the JW's wont come to it.
I usually just tell them sorry,not interested and they leave.

Just politely tell the J.W. to come back tomorrow, 'cuz the Dogs
haven't finished with the Mormon that stopped by yesterday.

I just say I'm not interested, plain and simple.
Oh, except for the last set of Jehova's witnesses who came to my door saying they'd like to discuss environmental stewardship with me, and handed me their pamphlet... they got an earful, but not because of the religion side of things.

LOL! :lol::lol::lol: That would be so funny to say that with a straight look on your face, and then watch their reaction!
Is this rife in your country? Or in the area you live in? In NZ almost every weekend whether invited or not we have Christian bible bashers knocking at our door ...
Their soul purpose is to convert us... Before any Christians get their knickers in a twist I do not have anything against Christians or any other religious folk. I have my own beliefs which is entirely spiritual but that's not the topic here (lol)
Now these bible bashers as we call them here in NZ merely harass us, we tell them over and over that we are not interested in their religion, books or beliefs and that we have our own and don't take kindly to having our weekends interrupted.
We even electrified the gate once, which was freaking funny as you can imagine!
All joking aside, do you find this rude?
Now for something funny and this is a true story!!!told to me by my son... His flatmate's (roomies) got a knock on the door by the bible bashers on a typical bible bashing Saturday visit to the misinformed... Knock knock on the door, the flatmate didn't have the heart to tell the BB's he wasn't interested so let them in with their wee briefcase of goodness knows what! Books n' stuff!
Well my son seeing whom they had let into his pad decided to gap it and so left quickly (lol) ... 1.5 hours later he comes home to see they were still there and he could hear water splashing from his hallway! (bathroom off hallway) He wondered what the heck was going on and to his amazement here are his two flatmate's, BOTH in the bath end for end in their underpants (of course) but nuthin else on and these two religious bible bashers chanting their stuff!
Well my son was p*ssing himself with laughter so hard he was rolling around on the floor holding his tummy as he couldn't stop laughing. Consequently the BB's were not impressed and left with their briefcases and the two flatmate's (roomies) were relieved my son came home to save them and my son only wished he got pix! he said it was the funniest thing on earth he had ever seen!
Anyways, what are your thoughts on having religion pushed on you or brought to your door whether you are religious or not? Gone are the days of vacuum cleaning salesmen in NZ why should we have bible bashers intruding... Especially when they have been told a dozen times "thank you but we're not interested" .. they still keep coming....
In Canada we use the term Bible basher too, or alternatively, Bible thumper.
From the sounds of it, were you dealing with Jehovah's Witnesses?
JW's affirm that Jesus was NOT God. That he was just a man.
Mormon's say that there are MANY Gods.
Nowhere in the bible does it say that. Since evangelicals point to what God's word actually says, the truth is only dangerous to one's false knowledge or misconceptions about God.
knuckleheads are my friends here at CC. Actually, now that I think about it, I kinda call everyone a knucklehead esp. coworkers.
Everyone whos religious thinks their god is the one,as an atheist I can only wonder why.
Wondering why some worship someone they never have seen......ok,right.:roll:

There are clear references in the Bible to other gods, and I don't recall the Bible saying directly that Jesus was god, though I may be wrong about that. I thought that was a later accretion and the source of the original schism. But you haven't really answered the question, what you've answered is, what's dangerous to those two sects? Why is your particular version of the faith any less dangerous than those two? Implicitly your answer appears to be that you know the truth but they don't. They'd make exactly the same claim, the JWs on the basis of the same text you have, the Mormons have an additional one of their own for which they also claim divine inspiration, and it's obvious nonsense. Neither of them can demonstrate they're right any more than you can.
