Non-Christians only.
My personal favorite was when some Mormon missionaries came knocking, and I answered the door buck naked. They were speechless, but they couldn't turn away.

Last time I checked, Catholics were Christians.

I never claimed to invent answering the door naked, it's an oldie but a goodie.

You actually go door to door? Leave people alone, and let them explore religion on their own. You're only recruiting the weak and naive, and where I come from, that's pretty cowardly.

I used to tell them that I already had a religion and was not shopping for another one, thank you. I was Catholic. Now I just slam the door in their faces. I would never be so CRASS and DISRESPECTFUL to assume that the people behind those doors needed to hear about my religion. I would not go door to door, peddling it like encyclopedias or a vacuum cleaner. Tacky, very tacky, and very intrusive. So screw them, I figure that if they are going to insult me by bringing their dogma to my door, they can eat wood.
Why? Because I know that they JUDGE EVERYONE. They assume things. They assume that they are superior. They assume that I have no life. They assume that I have no education, and worst of all, they assume that I have nothing better to do than listen to their twaddle.
Incidentally, there is a distinction between Catholic and Christian, or had you not heard about the whole "Romans throwing Christians to the lions" thing? There are differences - I suggest you explore them.

The reason they couldn't turn away was because they had never seen a woman naked.
Do what I do.
Open the door with a big smile on your face & invite them in.
When they r seated offer them a drink.
Once u have done this deadlock the door & put the key down your undies & commence to tell them about your religion.
I gaurantee they wont b back.

Politely, and resectfully. I don't know why everyone assumes that when someone is at your door to talk to you about religion, it's a bad thing. It seems everyone out there is religous, but no one is willing to talk about it...hmmm, let's see. Everyone is "christian" now a days it seems, it's like a fad, but that doesn't exlain why the world is in the condition that it's in. So obviously people aren't doing what they're supposed to, like following the bible's advice on loving your neighbor.

My fave all-time door answering was done by my mom. We were all sick and she was cranky, too, when the Jehovah Witnesses came a-callin'. They came by alot trying to convert us. She ran to the door, flung it open. That alone scared them, but the sight of my mom in curlers and her old ratty robe must have really freaked them out. My mom then told them she did not give a rat's a$$ about what they were preaching, and that they could take their bible, shove it up their a$$ and rotate it all the way back down the hill. We laughed and laughed about that one!!

Simply tell them that you are not interested in what they are trying to impose on you. If you inform them that you have your own religion and are not interested in changing over to theirs, they should leave.
I know when they come to my door, I simply tell them that I'm not intrested. And if they persist, that is when I tell them to have a great day and shut the door. Yes, I have shut the door in their faces before. Regardless of what I believe, I should not have someone elses religion shoved down my throat. Some of these people that knock on doors are determined that they are going to "change" whatever it is about you they think is wrong. Sorry..... I can't and won't be changed!!

I tell them I even have my very own faith and that often makes them pass away. in the event that they're persistant I tell them my Aunt is a Jehovah's Witness and because i did not convert for her, not likely to do it for them (real, yet you ought to use it notwithstanding in case you do not have a relative who's a Witness).

First off, the buck naked door answering thing is OLD. You never did it, we all know that, end of story. But what you could do is ask them how as Christians they can wear Christ's murder weapon around their necks. Ask them why the Bible says the Sun revolves around the Earth.
If they get through that, tell them your favorite scripture is Judges 19. Ask them to explain what it means to us today.

Be kind and tell them your not interested. I have always believed that a Christian was one who believed in Christ. Meaning that they believe in the new testiment in the Bible. In the old testiment Christ the son of God had not yet been born to Mary. This is probably more info than you wanted to know.

Open the door with a paper mache head of Jesus giving you just that (head), as you grasp it by the halo and religiously rock it to and fro' while you sing, "I've got a friend in Jesus".

Invite them in and solicite them for donations to the worthy cause that is "your personal NEEDS"... if they are truly good Christians they'll pull out their checkbooks and donate to the religion that is YOU. That way you're happy and God's happy. Everyone wins!
