I live in the country but still occasionally get religious folks at the door. I don't mind at all as long as they are courteous and understand I have my own religious beliefs. To tell the truth, at my present location for 18 years and have never had anyone persist after I tell them I have a church and thank them for their concern. I understand most are doing this as a volunteer activity because they want to bring the unchurched to their religion. That is fine, but if any tried to convert or kept coming back after I told them I was already connected.....I would be upset and would probably not be nearly as friendly in turn.
Those who don't heed signs asking for no solicitation, no trespassing, etc... don't deserve courteous treatment. |
