yes boys and girls and infidels of all ages, it's door-to-door preaching time again.

I had someone knock at my door at 10 a.m. and wake me and my dog up. (I work second shift, 4 - midmight, so this is way too early for me.)

She wanted to share some good news about the bible.

I was trying to control a wriggling, barking wiener dog (not as easy as it sounds) and I was still 3/4 asleep. I just told her to go any through the door. She knocked a few more times and than gave up and went to my neighbors.

Had I been more awake, what should I have done?

You could have tried to sell her junk you had laying around in your home. A friend of mine tries to sell stuff to telemarketers who call him.

Opened the door and let your wiener dog go to work on her.

Not even I'm that cruel.

Wiener dogs (sweet and wonderful in everyway) are the closest thing we have to hell hounds. They gnaw at your ankles until you fall over then go for the throat. What's bad about this is that they are so cute, you usually lay there and let them. You even help them by picking them up.

Diabolical.

Mwuahaha! I'll remember that one!

Trekbette, I apologise in advance for my suggestion, but here it comes. Three words:
"Vulcan nerve pinch".

Sorry

And here I thought the Sinbusters were only after me!

I had a woman come to my door (w/bible in hand) and ask me:
"If you could solve one problem in the world, what would it be?"

I started grinning like an idiot because I couldn't believe she was leaving herself wide-open like that & I replied:

"I would stop the problem of door-to-door solicitors!"

Of course she said, "oh! But I'm not a solicitor!" and I said, "Oh yes you are," as I closed the door. Later that week, religious fliers were left in my door, and a couple days later even more sinbusters came to my door. This last time I didn't answer the door. Oh, but if I'd had a wiener dog.....

I haven't had any door to door Xians here in about three or four years. I usually peak at them through the window and then pretend that I'm not at home. I really don't like to waste my time on them when there are so many more pleasant ways to waste my time.

I had door-to-door xtians once. They tasted like chicken.

I had mine with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Seriously though, the last time some of them paid me a visit was 8 or 9 years ago. Fortunately I had some warning and my red-paint-spattered T-shirt, the red food colouring around my mouth and the raw steak in my hand caused them to decline my invitation to lunch. I haven't had the pleasure of their company since. A pity, really, because I would like to apply some of the knowledge I've gained in my 2.5 years on this board.

I don't know...Why not have a stirring theological discussion about the problem of evil?
