There is no better beginning to a comment than that, thanks BillE. That is my underlying point though, that it seems unproductive to show up on someone's door to share the good news of, well, any deity, really. Whatever the home owners world view is, it seems astonishingly unlikely that a pamphlet and a scripted lecture are going to alter it. You would get better odds in Vegas is my suspicion, so it makes me wonder if my redemption is the goal. I don't say that to be an ass. I am really wondering. Are they there to save me? Has that ever worked? That last sentence seems a tad mean spirited BillE, which I understand, I probably had it coming, but it is also misleading. The people that have come to my door have been very nice. I have not been harassed by anyone pesky. I, in turn, have expressed interest in their views, and been a model of courteous behavior, which, if you will pardon the jab, I've heard exemplifies a Good Christian. I am right.

It is unproductive for a Christian to come to someone's door unannounced to attempt to share the good news of Jesus Christ. The poster is free to head to judgement in his current state of unredemption of course, without being harrassed by us pesky Christians. The poster is right.

I hope, one day, to hear something inspiring, thought provoking, or insightful, said in that earnest manner. If I keep asking questions, somebody is bound to knock my socks off. That's my theory.

I laughed out loud several times. I just love the fact that these guys have no idea who they are trying to save/convert/whatever. Talk about long shots! Brains and atheism - these guys were WAY out of their league. The best part is picturing you nodding and listening attentively. I love it. Thank you for the entertainment. This was FANTASTIC.
