I politely tell them that we are a house full of atheists and we're quite happy being normal people.

If I ever become a billionaire, I'll send private planes to every member of this forum and rent a private island to throw a heathen party.

I hope everyone else will do the same.

Oh, heck yes. And even an airpark home so you can store your HondaJet in your backyard hangar.

It might just happen too, atheists do tend to be a rather intelligent bunch Big Grin. Too bad we're generally too moral to be able to become rich as fuck though.

Certain aspects of life have this amazing ability of reproducing themselves onto others, like multiplied reflections on a set of broken mirrors.

Debate them and show them you know your shit regarding the Bible (don't be intellectually submissive in any way). They'll run away eventually and never return.

Say "No thanks." "Yes I'm sure." "Yes I'm sure." "I said I was sure, thanks." "Okay thanks for the leaflet."

And then throw the leaflet away.

Invite them in(or walk outside and do it there) and use street epistemology on them.

RE: What's on your mind?
If you don't mind lying, the three words "I've been disfellowshipped" should repel them as if you were radioactive.

I put up a "No soliciting sign" right next to my doorbell when I moved in last. That seems to work, I know there's both JW and LDS missionaries working the area but so far they haven't bothered me.

When they bothered me at my prior residence, a firm but polite "No thank you" apparently was taken as an invitation for questions. Repeating it more firmly and less politely did the trick but did seem to annoy them. I don't have a problem with that - they started it. Big Grin
