2nd time in a month I had to stave off

Christian pushers, telling them we are atheist pagans and not buying what they are selling!

1st time was in public. She laughed. I called her on it. She said she was just surprised by my bluntness.

This bunch was most of the way up our long driveway.

I knew before they spoke what they were. Why? They are the only ones* with the sense of ENTITLEMENT and ARROGANCE to come onto our property with their directive from the devil.

Not utilities; not FedEx; not candidates. ONLY these Christofascists.

Hope I'm in their database!

*Oh yeah, recent exception: neighbor and his buddy shot a deer on his place that wandered over here to die (slowly) near our barn and horses! I hope they saw my BLM, reproductive rights and anti-gun signs in the driveway. But short of starting a neighborhood feud all I could do was register my disgust and leave. I'm not anti-hunting but the gall to just walk onto our place without even asking or saying anything. And not even put her out of her misery! At least it was bow hunting...

1. You've got to say "I'm an atheist I don't believe in God"

You can’t leave them any opening like saying agnostic or anything. Once you’ve told them you’re an atheist they will leave usually.

3. No you can't give them an alternative. Tell them you worship the devil they want to converse

I definitely like the idea of an evil stare followed by obscenity is necessary

1st thing they do* is put up no trespass and keep out signs. We tend to be more neighborly. It's a given, right? You aren't allowed to come on my property legally without my permission.

*Oh except the ones who put up multiple fuck biden flags within weeks of moving in. Wonder how they received these christian freaks.

to follow and harvest a deer theyve shot onto private property.

Would have been common courtesy to call or ask in some sense. We've had others do it.

"Bring your lawn chairs! Bro Nate from Kansas will be saving souls every night. Show God how much our town loves him! He will be watching!"

I take their literature, and keep it on a table near my door. When one group comes up, I take their literature and then hand them some from a previous group.

Decide to wander up to my porch a couple days ago. They knocked loudly. I spoke through the door asking who was there.

They mumbled their representation, expecting me to open the the door like the cat does when he wants to go out and I've made him wait.

I didn't open the door, I was annoyed when I found it wasn't my immediate neighbor, then I would have opened the door. So I asked them what they wanted and they said they needed to talk to me. So I asked, "about what?" They said something about life forever and gawd. As she drew a big breath I just said, "I'm not interested, thank you." And turned the deadbolt on the door. They clacked down the steps in their churchy shoes and I went on with my day.

I don't have time for religion peddlers. And anything other than my lack of interest is ALL they need to know.
