Vizio must be too busy posting on other threads to be courteous or adult enough, or strong enough in his faith, to respond to my simple, direct, honest question above.

Hopefully he'll grace us with his presence on that soon.

LOL. I have two 100+ pound black large breed dogs that love to check visitors out through the glass sidelights on my front door. They also have very loud low pitched barks they use to alert me that strangers are nearby. Most of the time, the door knockers fall over themselves trying to get off my porch and property never to return. They seem to completely forget about saving my soul once 200+ pounds of dog scares the crap out of them.


A few times, they were persistent and I opened the door and explained they were free to come in and give me their best sales pitch but the dogs would be joining us too. They suddenly had other houses to get to.

I don't have a dog. What do you suppose would happen if I just stood there at the door and barked?

You claim there's 18 pages of them, so it should be easy.

Your job now is to either back up your claim with proof and evidence (two things you clearly reject and fail to understand) or admit you're just full of hype and BS. Again.

Waiting to see what you provide for examples of all these irrational fears people have expressed. Thanks in advance for putting forth the modicum of effort needed to prevent yourself looking like a simpering liar. Not calling you a simpering liar--just saying if you want to avoid looking like one, based on the claims you made, here's your chance.
Okay, more of a request than a strict "question." But still holds.

If anything, I've been quite clear that I am not pushy and I am not advocating anyone being pushy. Yet, on the other hand, some people need to get some intestinal to learn to tell people "no".

I guess it depends on how you define pushy. I consider it pushy and rude to come to my door uninvited presumptuously telling me how to live my life. Is it really so hard just to leave people alone and mind your own business?


You keep accusing people of having an irrational fear of religious zealots. I will tell you that I have no fear of them, just intense anger that some asshat thinks it is appropriate to come to my house and critique the way I live and what I believe.

You must REALLY hate Girl Scout Cookie season. I'm guessing you don't come out of your house for weeks!

Step one: Answer the door naked.
Step two: There is no step two.
