The last time we had mormon visitors, I let our Doberman Pincher answer the door. It's suprising how fast those guys could run :rotfl:

If I have the time I tend to try to convert any evangelists to Atheism, they never convert, but they never come back either...

I love what he tried to accomplish, but I know it won't make any difference.

When I lived in Purdue's dormitories, I frequently had to deal with Evangelical Assholes. I made it a habit to do the most offensive things I possibly could to them - something that usually involved removing my pants. Sometimes I'd also try giving competing organizations other literature, e.g. give a "Watchtower" to the Campus Crusade dickweeds.

My ex- and her partner give pro-gay literature to the door-to-door evangelists when they show up (which happens a lot). They have a stack of pamphlets along with some gender-appropriate glossy pictures for those who come knocking.

wow, he went to Salt Lake City so he could give them a dose of their own medicine. That's admirable.

If I had the cash to buy tickets, and wanted to go to the US and visit my relatives, I'd probably be turned down for a visa.

Now, If I said, I want to go to Salt Lake City and give them a dose of their own medicine would my visa be approved?

probably not. religious types are generally not that smart. govornment employees are not that smart. therefore govornment employees are generally religious types.

My interpretation of your logic: Drag queens are generally not girls. Computer nerds are generally not girls. Therefore computer nerds are generally drag queens.

My conclusion is you need to take a logic class: Quickly, before more such logic errors occur.

I recently had some Mormons come knocking at my door, 2 absolute hot chicks (around 19-20, blonde, size 8 (american size 6), 5"5', well developed womanly curves, and not wearing too much - well it was a nice 29-30C, sun shining, etc). Anyway, it seems that to get new converts they were using the sex-sells angle. Fair enough...

So after chatting for 5 minutes at the front door (hey, I was after a phone number to take one of the chicks out, not converting to Mormon). I asked them both why that if under Mormon law, sex should only be between a husband and wife, why were they sending out 2 absolute stunners to lure guys in going the church (taking the sexy angle), wasn't that a contradiction to their own belief? And in doing so were playing with the devils wirely ways, and should repent.

Well, that went down like a bomb shell... These 2 young girls were so confused about the question that they had no answer, they tried changing the topic, but I kept pushing back to that angle... In the end, I think they got the message and left... (and no I didn't get a phone number).

Religion can be so fun sometimes!

PS. One guy I knew when I was serving the in Army, totally convinced another guy (who was a baptist) that Mary actually had an affair, and hence Jesus was born, not by immaculate conception, but out an act in breaking one of the 10 commandments! Because there no proof to the contrary and with everything we knew about science, how could that be wrong?

I dated a Mormon in High School. Our second date was dinner...at her parent's house...where her mother suggested to me what our first child should be named...that was our last date.

My favourite experience with the HJ:

One day, while waiting at the train station to go home, some Mormons who obviously had not been on mission long come onto the platform. It's a while before the train, so the platform is relatively empty.

While one went to get tickets from the machine, the other comes up to me and introduces himself. I greet him kindly, and his open to conversation is, "Have you heard of the Book of Mormon?" My reply is not only yes, but that I had read it. There is a stunned silence.

The rest of our conversation is the gentleman stumbling around trying to get back to his standard spiel, unsuccessfully.

This is a little OT...

Actually Sechs, that sort of comment reminds me of when I was at McChucks (aka McDonalds) on the weekend...

One of my friends had ordered a burger, but had to be made fresh... You know, sorry sir, that'll be a 2 minute wait. Anyway, the girl brings out the burger to our table (about 6 guys including myself), and she goes "Sorry for the wait", and he replies "Don't worry love, you'll walk it off!". Didn't help that she actually looked a little anorexic. She went bright red and walked away rather quickly...

We were in stitches for about 5 minutes. Sorry you had to be there!

ddrueding: Don't worry that's happened to me as well, but a strict Catholic family (and I'm Ukrainian Orthodox).

At least Mormons don't come with guns, so really they aren't dangerous. At least not to Atheists. Now Christians such as myself believe that a cult like Mormonism is a hindrance to those who may otherwise become Christians. If LDS people come to our door, we just show them how their book of Mormon contradicts the Bible (and they claim to believe both), and usually that silences them. Or we just give them Christian literature in exchange for their Mormon literature. It's kind of fun, although none have come to our neighborhood for years. Try evangelizing Old-Order Mennonites will you.


Chewy, what is Ukrainian Orthodox?

It's been many years since my door has been knocked on, and that is a good thing because my immediate reaction is to torcher those poor souls that which to attempt to convert me.

In the past, I typically start out asking why does the christian god need to lie in the "Word of God" (The bible) and it typically heads south from there. I can produce several good arguements that support the premis quite well, to the point that several very religous individuals that I have debated with have come to the conclusion that I am "True, Pure total EVIL" and the devil incarnate ...

I am the poster child for not speaking on religious topics in polite company because not only may they offend, they are guaerenteed to offend...
