No. I don't go to their doors telling them about the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I do have a friend who invites them inside for dinner and lets them go on about whatever brand of Christianity they are. Then, when they're having desert, she politely says she's happy in her faith: she's Wiccan! They never come back!

NO.
If you are talking about Jehovas Witnesses, I don't like it at all.
They come to spread their religion to the masses.
It is also a gospel other than that I have received.
What does the Bible say about that?
Gal 1:8 But even though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to that which you received, let him be accursed.
WoWser! Big problem..

People should keep there religion to themeslves. Who are they to tell you you are going to hell. For all we know they might be going to hell. THere are alot of religions out there and the odds of these missionaries to be a part of the right religion is extreamly small. I honestly think that there should be a law against going door to door to tell people that they are sinners and their religion is wrong, when in ltruth these missionaries cant honestly say 100% that they belong to the right religion. ,"but the bible" but the bible nothing I too can write a book and many will worship its words in the future, but it doesnt mean its the truth.

NO! They are quite possibly the most irritating thing that can come to my door. Even worse than the telemarketers, because I can hang up the phone, but I can't, in good conscience, slam the door in their faces. I may not believe what they want me to believe, but that doesn't mean I am going to be rude about telling them to go away. I know many people that will go out of their way to get rid of the missionaries, but I sincerely don't like them. I hate that they waste my time and theirs. Jehovah's Whitnesses are the worst.

NO! I do not appreciate it one bit. I do not need a "door-to-door salesman" coming to my hosue to tell me what my religious belief system should be. They can be so persistent when you try to tell them that you are not interested. It is almost impossible NOT to be rude to them. They just don't want to take "no" for an answer. I HATE that!!
I don't like to be rude to them, but I already have a belief system that works just fine for me...thank you very much...and I don't need to be pestered at home when I am busy cooking dinner for my family! If I want to be preached to I know where to get that. I don't need it to come to my doorstep looking for me!!!

Yes. They are so much fun. I enjoy showing them my BOOK OF THE DEAD and inviting them over for my next ritual sacrifice. JK Seriously though, I don't appreciate missionaries that can not respect that you have your own beliefs and that your not interested in going to their church next Sunday.

I hate it when people get nasty with us at the door, we are doing what Jesus commanded us to do at Matthew 28 verses 19 and 20. if you are not interested don't be nasty and just say we are not interested and we will leave. we as Jehovah Witnesses are doing what Jesus did. except he did it on the mountain. we where told to go door to door. remember they did not listen to Jesus either. remember Noah, he was building an ark and told everyone it would rain, people laughed at him also. guess who won? when God closed the door, no one could get in the ark . so we are trying to save you and if you are not interested, we can not change you, that has to be your choice. we are not a cult, the door is always open to see what we are all about

You should look at it not as an annoyance but a way to explain what YOU believe in, and make points to challenge them in a friendly way. You will observe the cultish mentality first hand and learn alot from it. But, know what you believe, and make sure you search the truth to expound upon it and maybe.......who knows.

No, I don't especially since I am already saved. I think lonely people like missionaries coming to their door.

I am not bothered....I simply tell them that I have a Lord and Savior and I wish them safe traveling, but I have a body of Christ which I attend and don't feel a need to take up their time.
