our believers are the pushy type. I work second shift- rarely to bed before 2 AM. At 8 I had babble thumpers knocking at my door, even though I have a "no soliciting" sign up, want to tell me the "good news". I told the the good news is that if they got of my doorstep post haste there wouldn't be blood. Shit- if I want to hear your crap, I will go to church.

On edit: I should add some history. When I first moved in 14 years ago, the Mormons paid me a visit. I politely asked them to remove my house from their list, because I wasn't interested. They complied, and I haven't seen them since. I have told the baptists time and time again, even visiting their pastor, and they can't catch a fucking hint. Once a year, prior to zombie Jeebus day, they are knocking on my door.
