I tried to get you one but mine wasn't interested. (At least, she didn't respond when I mentioned it to her.) Sorry...

Then you haven't gotten some of the pamphlets I have. It's never explicitly stated, but it's everywhere implied. Though perhaps this is also inherent to the difference between and atheist and a theist. Maybe you would more readily see the issue if it weren't just variations of Christians going door to door. (Or are you the kind of Christian that doesn't consider Mormonism "Christian"?)
Quote:Likewise, I've had Obama supporters come knocking on my door trying to "convert" me to vote for him lol. I disagree with them as well, but I just say "thank you but I'm not interested," because I understand the vulnerable position they are in and can only imagine how much they get chewed out by other people.
To be clear, I don't like ANYONE knocking on my door that isn't there because they were invited, they're bringing me a package I am getting delivered, or are there to tell me the building is on fire and to run for my life.
I have a very nosy neighbor who drops by to "chat" about inane things I don't care about nor do I need to know, and it drives me nuts.
Oh my gosh, I am the same way. I HATE it when people knock on my door unexpectedly. I'm one of those people who walks around the house in just a t shirt and panties and no makeup and my hair a mess lol. When people knock on my door, it's the same to me as if you were knocking on the bathroom door while I was taking a dump.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
