This thread is too funny. When we lived in Hendersonville, TN (for the last 10 years) we were constantly visited by the Jehovah's, esp. during the summer months. I, nice southern girl, always felt sorry for the poor boys, so I usually opened the door, listened, and responded with a polite "no thank you". By the end of the summer, I was tired of answering and being polite. My husband, an atheist at heart, felt a need to come to my rescue. He said, answer the door and talk with them on the porch, I will be out there in a minute and get rid of them. To my surprise, and their's, he came out wearing his yarmulke (from classes he took), the poor boys couldn't get off the the porch fast enough! And they never came back!
I suppose proselytizing is common for the religious. However, I would love to see atheists go door-to-door distributing literature. Alas, it's highly unlikely, as they probably have more respect for others.
We just don't care enough to do that. We don't give a damn what anyone else believes as long as they leave us the hell alone.
I stopped for lunch at the Waffle House yesterday and there was a group of men who all had on the "uniform" of black pants, white shirt and tie and all had their "Latter Day Saints" name tags on.
Anywho, these guys were carrying on at the table next to me, swearing up a storm, talking rather crudely about a girl in their church, etc....
I was sitting there thinking, "Wow, I'm glad these guys go to church cause I'd hate to see them WITHOUT any religious teachings to guide them on the path to goodness and a life without sin!" Guys will be guys, I suppose.
If these guys come my door and I'm feeling up to messing with them, the first thing they see is my drum set (I'm a heavy metal musician -- it's all show folks!). That rug really gets under their skin and they usually leave right away. hehe....

Fullback32, Is that a mix of electronic and acoustic drums? Anyway, if you really want to make the mood complete I would recommend setting up a ritualtistic Haitian Voodoo shrine in a setting that's appropriate for lopping the heads off of chickens and becoming possessed. Like Coos, I also like the skull and the rug is pretty cool too.
Thanks all. Actually it's an all electronic set...Hart Dynamics Pros, Hart ECII and Smartrigger cymbals, and Roland modules. The skull is a dragon skull...very cool I like the idea of the voodoo shrine, but I've been thinking about a Flying Spaghetti Monster Shrine instead.

Do you expect people like this to be sinless? Christians know that sin is inevitable, which is why Jesus dying for the forgiveness of sins is a major part of a Christian's beliefs.
