Subject: RE: BS: Religious Canvassers
Does it truly make me worse for ASKING you? If you say no I shouldn't keep pressing, that's a given.

My religion is something that gives me immense joy and I know it can do so for others. If they don't want it, then that's their choice.


I have a sign on my door. It can be seen from the curb. So if you come into my yard anyway when I have telegraphed to you that I don't want to hear about your religion, then there is something wrong. It is the arrogance of some of these christian religions to assume that they are above the general courtesy on trespassing, and the "no" you first receive really means "maybe." It doesn't.

One woman dismissed my protest that she rang my bell by saying "Well, I wasn't selling anything."

My quick retort as she turned down the path was "give me a break. You're trying to sell immortal souls." She kind of flinched.
