(hi Bill)

Kat, I hate to tell you, but I really think that the attitudes coming to your door are going to be seriously encouraged in their "mission," not discouraged, by a sign as you describe. If anything, they will call in reinforcements.

Well, hockey I can get religious about.

Kat, about that sign.... I think I have it-- if you believe in reincarnation, that would mean that you can honestly put a big ole sign on your door saying just these two words:

"Born Again!"

... and that ought to do it. If you make it big enough, they people won't even come up your walk but just pass by. Whew-- I thought for a minute I was going to have to start some new denomination to declare you saved for this sign-thing. Glad I slept on THAT one!

Actually, I think a "BORN AGAIN" sign would attract multitudes and multitudes of non-thinking people. After all, it worked for George W. Bush.

If you are 'born again' do you have two belly buttons?

Speaking of belly buttons: I got into a discussion with a fundamentalist on that subject. I volunteered the thought that Adam and Eve did not have navels. He wanted to know why on earth I would think that.

I said, Look at the function of the belly button. It is simply the visible sign of the baby's womb existence- and Adam and Eve were not 'born'.

He said, I think God could see to it...

He is my brother. *G*

LMAO, Bill! Those are excellent. I may have to print them out and put THEM on my door!

I agree with Riginslinger, I think it would just attract them if I put "Born Again" on the door, even though I do believe in reincarnation, they would take it the wrong way.:-)

I don't think I will get too many more when they see the Beware of Dog sign next to the new one. My daughter put those up on her gate and fence and has not been bothered since. Of course the four dogs at her house make more of a commotion than my one, but my one has a really menacing growl and bark.

Cyclone fence with razor wire on top surrounding a moat full of crododiles and piranhas with an inner ring of tank traps and land mines supplemented by a Romulan cloaking device works fairly for us. . . .

I have found that the vast majority of folks who knock on doors to talk with occupants about religion are understanding when I say I don't wish to discuss it. On a few occasions I have had to be brusque. They have understood that also.

Maybe if the sign said:Born Again... and Again.... and Again...

They couldn't say they were not warned.

Poor goats. Do they get a 'Most Sacrificed Animal in World History' spot in the Guiness Book of World Records?
