Peddling religion to children - not at our house you don't!

[Feck]

Well done Charlou(for keeping your cool) very well done to your son I wish i could have seen the look on your face ,And I love the sign.

This is now posted at our front door:

I'm thinking of getting a signwriter to make a more permanent one just like it, including the angry looking lettering. *fucking fume*

I am seriously considering to have a second sign made and affixing it underneath, with the following words:

^ What she said!

Charlou:

There had been twice-a-week fundie visits pretty much since I moved here. I put this on my door about 4 months ago:



It reads: Buddhist's home./House of a Buddhist. Not a single knock since.

That's what I was going to say ...

Anyway, well done Charlou!

I agree with taking this seriously. As a teenager my experience (having been brainwashed into conversion) was the development of so called 'apocalypse anxiety'. It haunted me for a few years back then and I never forgave the people who did that to me. The bastards and their fear ridden religion.

You don't think a man would feel similarly about peddling religion to children, Ani?


I've just sent the following modified version of the op to our local paper's Letters to the Editor section. I'd be very surprised if they include it, but worth a try.

(Comment to editor: If you plan to edit this letter I would prefer you did not even put it into the paper. Please insert as is or not at all. Thank you and regards, *name here*.)

A pair of door to door religion merchants encountered my ten year old son at our door this morning and proceeded to tell him the 'good news' about [paraphrase]the coming end of the world and how he must repent his sins in order to avoid awful consequences for his sinfulness in hell, and spend eternity in paradise with the saviour and all the other repenters[/paraphrase].

My son is a smart lad and he told me that he made light of it with them before accepting their tract and bringing it to me. I took the tract, went out into the street after them and handed it back and told them not to peddle their religious nonsense to my children. One of them actually argued with me that because my son answered the door she was entitled to do so. The look on my face and tone of my voice when I told her why they are not was enough to impress upon her that this was not up for debate. She took the tract and left.

If they or others return they'll now be met with the following message posted at our front door: Religion peddlers are not welcome. It's bad enough that you indoctrinate your children with nonsense. DO NOT try to peddle it to the children here.

I'm thinking of getting a signwriter to make a more permanent one just like it, including the angry looking lettering. *fume*

Nice work Charlou.

If we had door to doors I expect Felix would try to convert them to Pastafarianism.

We opened ours with a simple 'no, thank you'

That was so subtle I had to look back and forth between that and the original post about 8 times.
