For a while, I thought Chick tracts were intended as parody. Oops!
Another time, some earnest missionary types, came a knocking on my door. I was a young teen at the time. They proceeded to tell me about the flood, and the "water canopy over the Earth" and so forth. Being a science-y kind of lad, I laughed a bit, and said "good one!", and then later, "OMG you are serious!" Peels of laughter ensued.
Like door to door sales, rejection and dejection is the missionaries' lot unfortunately.
