I need that for both my doors, on a t-shirt, a bumper-sticker, and on my business card.
And maybe as a sort of high-powered Bat-Signal-esque beam, too.

Darwinfish will work with you, I'm sure.

I have a sign on my gate, it reads: don't mind the dog, but the dog's owner bites.
They simply go by the house.

Last time a preacher type came to my door, I said that we were a Satanic household and they haven't been back since. I've probably been placed on some kind of Christian blacklist.
Wow, lucky you! I threatened one with a loaded shotgun and haven't been blacklisted! Satanic. Check. I'll try that next time.

Never had the displeasure.
Maybe a few weeks ago, someone tried, but I kicked them out before they even got a chance to say what they were all about. Some middle aged woman opening my flat door without knocking. When I took issue with that kind of behavior, she said, she had something to show me. I simply told her, I wasn't the least bit interested and coming in uninvited isn't what I call good behavior, and slammed the door in her face.
Could have been some religious type, could have been a simple thief or fraudulent saleswoman. Guess, I never know, but I don't lose any sleep over it.

In the past have usually just informed the unwanteds that stop by the farm they are free to leave.
Since being on here, gotta admit I might parlay with the Jehovah Witlessess or the Morons the next time they stop by.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I just simply don't answer the door for them anymore. My dad told me once that he did for two men, one older and the other younger, and after he told them he wasn't interested the older man said he'd go to hell. On a slightly related note, I was at a bus stop with an older man once and a female JW came over and asked if we'd be interested in some reading material on the Bible and the man started quoting from it. This made her face light up and so she held out what was in her hand, which was a copy of The Watchtower. He looked at it, then looked at her and said, "Oh, you're one of those Jehovah's nitwits."

My brother has a friend who's an atheist like both of us, but is also so ultra-polite that when confronted with some weird theists with strange beliefs at the door (he had no idea what they believed), he just didn't want to say "no" to them so much because he felt that it was rude, that he not only let them preach at him about their weird beliefs, but he actually invited them in to chat to him about those beliefs for like an hour and not only that but he let them perform some weird ritual on him and baptize him, all because he didn't want to say "no" because it made him feel rude LOL
I'm not always very assertive but I've never been that bad...
lol
