It's not "wrong;" it's just a bit petty IMO. I suspect it's symptomatic of some deeper issue(s.)

If you really feel that strongly about it, put a sign on your door. Seriously. :shrug:

Noble or not, it is human nature.

"Be the beauty that you see." - Rumi

I think that's a great philosophy and great words to live by. As a Christian, I sometimes fail at this, but I think this is the witness - not to judge or force, but to just be what is beautiful and full of grace, because that is who God is.

I recently had somebody ring my doorbell at 9:30 a.m. ON A SUNDAY asking if they could do yardwork for us. I was absolutely dumbfounded. All I could say was "no" with an incredulous look on my face.

I can't imagine what frazod or jspchief would've done.

Heck, if I wasn't a believer I'd go have myself a merry time eatin', drinkin', and sleepin' around with the girls for "tomorrow we die"--but that's just me and my own depravity...

And I'm sure if your Calvinist Bapsits friends think like this Calvinist Baptist then they probably say something along the lines of: "Aside from that crap about God telling you to do that, that's really expected. But you need to repent and we'll be praying and hoping that you are of the elect..."

:)

Like I said, an entire nation disliked solicitation calls so much that the government implemented a "do not call" registry.

If I'm petty, I have a lot of company.

IOW, sinners. Wow, immagine that, a bunch of sinners going to a place where they are trying to be healed. Kind of like the sick going to a Hospital.

Calling was more of an issue, I think. But maybe not. Calling tends to be at more inopportune times, for the most part too. Earlier than, later than, and during dinner time kinds of issues arise.

You must live in a wierd neighborhood or community, compared to mine anyway. I can count on one hand the number of times someone's knocked at my door about religion. Ever. Seriously. I say, "no thanks" basically....and they, in each instance, have said, "Okay. Thanks. Have a nice day" or whatever and went on their way.

Politicians and business solicitations on the other hands, I get 3 or 4 a month, I suppose.

Yeah...pretty cheap.

Nothing will make Logical happier than seeing the religous folks and the non-religious folks sniping at each other in this thread.

As I mentioned earlier, I live in a town with a bible college. Apparently they encourage this, because on any given day, within 15 minutes, I'd wager I can find two young men walking door to door in suits trying to talk to people or give them some stupid pamphlet.

I'm sure that plays more than a small part in my attitude on the subject.

Well... he is the self-proclaimed "Evil Mastermind"...

:Pinky:

Eh. There you go. I missed that nugget earlier, sorry. It makes more sense now.

You don't mess with JSP, he's hardcore man. The only guy I know who will tell a little girl scout to suck his dick when she's knocks on his door selling candy.

I wonder how all his fans at Warpaint would feel about that?

Maybe you should invite them in to watch some of that hardcore porn your into. That would teach them.
