Last week we had some Polish lads going on about "The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" today it's some random smartly dressed people from fuck knows what church.
Normally I send my other half to get rid of them LOL but she's gone out so I answered the door (without checking who was there, as I thought it might be the postman), next thing I knew I was standing there for about 10 minutes freezing my ass off discussing the rights and wrongs of the world today! 
Bloody Christians. I wish they would stop knocking on people's doors preaching about their shitty religion! [flame suit zipped up just in case]

Simply take a step back and close the door.

Better than having a load of Muslims turn up strapped with C4.

What I usually do is open the door, when they start blabbing on, say "Hold on, let me find someone who gives a shit", Turn around, shut the door and continue what I was doing in the house.
Works every time.

I believe in some Christian values due to my close friends being devoted to this faith....however, do I fuck believe in invading other peoples lives trying to sway them in your direction in terms of religion.
Peoples opinions are their own...should they not want to be part of it...leave them be!

I did tell the woman that I appreciated what she was saying and I respect her beliefs, but I told her on no less than 3 occasions to respect the fact that I was not interested!

Which is exactly what pisses me off about situations like this. People should respect opinions and realise that we're all different. I once delivered an item which I’d sold on eBay to someone who lived in the same city as me.
I was in his house for a full fucking hour as he explained Christianity to me (I stupidly told him that my name was Aaron....which is of course a biblical name).
In the end I said, "sorry mate....gotta go!"

"Aren't you a bit old for imaginary friends?" usually does the trick
God exists? Prove it.
I'm not even joking about this, I had some one time who asked me if I knew where any deaf people lived because they had some special bibles for deaf people I think she meant blind people

@ ChrisBoom!
When we lived in Birmingham we had no-one knocking on our door 'selling' us religion, although we did have a car jacking one night a few feet away from our front door... 
But, I digress.

That'd be the Mormons. They're the ones that don't even drink coffee as caffeine's a drug.

Their 'church' is about a 5 minute walk from here. Gives me the creeps.

I hate religious people. I have yet to meet one who has an open enough mind to realise that thier faith doesn't have all the answers and that other people are netitled to thier own point of view.
