There are mormons...

i hurl abuse at them until they go away, and if i think i can get away with it and they don't move fast enough then i'll kick them up the arse as well.

tbh, i'm not a big fan of religious people.

i got into a conversation with a couple jehovees once. exchanged emails and invited one of them over for a discussion on the balcony one summer afternoon.

dude was surprisingly open minded - we chatted for about 2 hours about religion.

Bollax to undressing, just answer the door naked with a 'red' pentagram painted on your chest drolling from the mouth... they will likely *never* bother you again! Mind you that could always backfire on you and have them try to save your soul

answer the door dressed as satan, with massive fake rubber dong, and tell them you can't speak long or your child casserole will burn

Should have asked them if polygamy was still part of the package deal...

A couple mormons came to my house a few months ago, I told them that I didn't really believe in god, and this one guy almost shit his pants. You should have seen the expression on his face. He asked if something horrible had happened in my life to drive me away for the Lord, I casually said 'no.' They walked off dumbfounded.

At least you dont have Jehovas Wittnesses, they will tell you your going to hell. Mormons are polite, and will piss off if you politely tell them you are not interested.

Answer the door by saying "Did you come to try to take my daughter into your harem?"

Never get mormons round here. I'd like to talk to them about the supposed bit of mormonism where they stockpile large quantities of food and water in their homes.

"Of course I believe in God, I am Him" I believe is the proper answer.

Or "I just think he's a bit of a dick, like Frank. Now Frank, there's a complete asshole right there. Come in, let me tell you all about Frank...."

I try and be nice to them, they take enough shit everyday, I don't feel the need to pile it on.
if you treat them as sales people, i.e. YOU control the conversation, they are really easy to deal with.

That's exactly what I do. Just like all the other sales people I say "No thanks" and quickly shut the door. Although the naked and Satan ideas have entered my head before.

That was great. For the lazy, he goes door to door preaching atheism Mormon-style at around 3 minutes.

I would talk to them, even if at the door for 5 min. One thing im good at is playing the devils advocate. Even if i do believe in god, i could sit there and just shoot down everything they say or leave it at least in a grey area of logic. Its easy with religion. Its almost all grey area.

Fuckers showed up today when we were all napping. I looked through the glass on the side of the door, saw his "Church of Latter Day Saints" name tag, looked one them in the eye, shook my head and walked away. I went back upstairs to go back to sleep. My wife asked, "Who was it?" "Fucking Mormons."
At least my kid didn't wake up when they rang the doorbell.

I'm thinking next time I see a mormon I'm going to approach the situation one of two ways. Either...

Or take immediate control of the conversation by saying "Are you aware that every human being is born an atheist?
What if some sort of major catastrophe killed everyone in the world except babies who haven't learned to speak yet? Would they all go to hell?"
