Well they don’t agree.

And neither do I. I love religious weirdos. The weirder the better. That’s what makes America America.


It’s not about weirdos. It’s about being rude. Where are those holy manners? This forum is really sad and mean…and ironic.


DP. Wait a minute. You and your shrill atheist buddy been insulting everybody, changing your argument around, and distorting facts since the start of this thread. Amazing you’d call others mean and use the word ironic. You’re such a hypocrite.


I've posted 3x. Didn't distort facts - same facts. How am I hypocrite? I find it rude for strangers to keep ringing doorbell while knocking at the same time despite me telling them to go away. And then I answered the door in case they didn't understand that I wasn't interested. The woman handed me a pamphlet but I told her that I wasn't interested. Then her and the other woman walked to the end of my driveway meeting up with another woman holding an iPad device and walked to my next-door neighbor's house. The man/woman team was already at my neighbors' door. What is wrong with me saying it was annoying and not wanting this to happen? Get a grip on yourself. I haven't insulted anyone. but I've been insulted. Also, I'm not an atheist so not sure why that has been hurled at me. It is ironic that on the Religion forum people are so mean!

I am always amazed at the situations posted here in the religion forum that people get over the top angry and emotional about, that would receive a meh in another forum here.

Most would fall under ok, it’s the world, ignore it and move on.

Like one person pointed out: are you doing ok if something small like this made you so unreasonably outraged/angry?

Really you can’t be, because this kind of stuff happens constantly (interaction with people who don’t agree with you/have different opinions than you)and going into a 3-4-5 day online rant is NOT normal.

I was on the phone and they could see me waving them off but kept knocking. I finally had to tell them to please leave. They were so rude and pushy. Kind of creepy. Who still does this? What church is this?


Remember that this is partly about religion and partly about income for the church and pastor. Without meaning to be, they’re church sales reps.

The rare times I've had religious groups knock on my door, they were wonderfully polite. They never banged down my door, and never asked to be allowed in. They invited me to peruse their literature, and if I were so moved, to join their group. I thanked them, and they left.

I think you might have communicated the wrong idea when they could see you wave to them. As in "Hello, I'll be with you in just a moment", instead of "Get off my lawn!". So naturally they thought they should stay, and you thought they had outstayed their welcome.

But I agree with others that this story seems a little hard to believe.


Since they are so wonderful, why haven't you converted?

How nice for you. I had two refuse to leave. One guy stuck his foot in the way when I tried to close the door.

If these people thought OP meant "I'll be with you in a minute" why did they keep knocking ?


What was the denomination of the religious group that refused to leave and the guy stuck his foot in the door from?


Mormon. Same visit.


Don’t believe you.


Don't care what you think. Are you even allowed to think?

As you can tell by 21:32, 21:43 and 21:46 right above, we’re not dealing with the A Team when it comes to emotional maturity and self-control.

People would get told to grow up and move on if they posted their threads in other forums.

Nobody has time to listen to another adult whine/cry/ruminate/obsess for days or weeks or years.

Some of the threads here deal with issues people have had for years! They are complaining about their childhood or an incident decades ago, or a friend from middle school!

Really they need therapy. Every time I read a thread about a poster that has lifelong problems because of something to do with religion I can’t believe their solution is to complain about it here.

op should post their issue in real estate and see what response they get.

Or they’re just trolls. It’s hard to believe a well-adjusted adult would post 21:32, 21:43 or 21:46.

Yes, the Real Estate forum thread is pretty hilarious. Nobody has time for an adult tantrummung over such a minor issue as someone leaving them a piece of paper. If there are actual childhood issues, get a therapist instead of complaining about trivia here.

In summary, so this thread can stop:

-It's legal
-It's constitutional
-It's their right
-Supreme Court says so
-It doesn't bother everyone
-You can try signs or call the church
-You can ignore them and not answer your door

and yet

-It's still rude as F.

To round it out: 21:32, 21:43 and 21:46 (OP? the same person?) are obvious trolls. This is a troll thread.

Another lesson learned here: don’t tantrum about utter trivia because you look like an idiot, or like a troll. See the Real Estate thread.

Mostly correct, except:

There's general agreement here and in Real Estate that anybody who thinks it's "rude as F" and gets so bent out of shape they complain for four days on DCUM is either (a) in need of a qualified therapist, or (b) a troll.

You forgot "someone who simply thinks its rude as F", and there are lots of us.

You claim to be summarizing the thread, so “lots of us” is a gross exaggeration. Besides you, there’s OP (who may be you), who is either a troll or in need of actual therapy.

And there’s still a consensus, here and in real estate, that you putting any more emotional energy into this beyond ignoring/recycling the literature is batsh!t.
