When I asked them what evidence they had for God's existence, one of them made a sweeping gesture toward the woods in back of my house, saying, "There's your evidence right there!"
"No," I replied, "that's only evidence that I own several acres of wooded property. Evolution is a perfectly adequate explanation of how all those trees and woodland creatures got there."
"What is your religion?" their leader asked.
"I have no religion or god," I replied. "I'm an atheist."
They all shrugged their shoulders and left. Intellectual cowards!
I wish my JWs had written me off as soon as I told them I was an atheist....
I had some come round recently, on separate occasions.
First time was two older gentlemen, politely said there is an evening on and that I was free to attend or not, and here is some information. I gladly took it, looked it over and didn't attend.....as it was some sort of "lets talk about god event". However I appreciated their "come, or don't, it's your choice" approach.
Second time, an older chap, a teenage boy and a young (maybe 5 year old) girl appeared at my door all over dressed for what they were doing. I was asked if I'd read the bible, and I politely informed them "yes I have, and its not for me". This started the older guy off "..but....why?" as if it's not easy to understand, despite all the bullshit (ranging from actual lies to various atrocities the go on), where I just repeated myself and closed the door. The thing that bothered me most was that, while this old guy is too far gone to probably get him to understand that theism is total garbage, but that he had a young lad and an even younger girl with them, I presume for training purposes. These are young fragile minds, and should be out learning about the world/playing with other kids, and not trying to sell me some stupid religion on my door step. It's insane.
