I am finding it difficult to remain friendly with all the Jehovah Witnesses coming to my door lately. I calmly speak as early in the conversation that I can get a word in that I am not religious. They continue with, "You don't need to be. Now, what do you think God would say about today's..." After listening on patiently a bit, I then say that I have something on the stove and that I'm sorry I need to go. It just gets me thinking that Atheist don't go door to door. hmmmm... Maybe I should.
"Excuse me, I just wanted to get your thoughts on how to prevent the recent waves of religious dogma in our community. I'm fighting back by going door to door spreading my belief that there is no God and that mankind does not need to rely on mythology in order to be good to each other. I was wondering if you might make a contribution to the cause of Atheism, so we can rid our neighborhood of a foundation of 2000 year old lies that inhibits trust in each other's sanity on any given issue."
Well, I need to work on that speech. I'd probably get beaned in the head by a large wooden crucifix at the very first house. I doubt I'd survive for 10 minutes.

I think it's a great idea!
That's why Jehovah's Witnesses travel in packs--to avoid being killed by the errant cross. I often tell JW's that when I had to live with my JW cousin, I learned to have a violent reaction to the word Jehovah.
So are you going to work up a publication to counter the Watchtower?
