    That those people who knock on peoples doors who try and change your religion and what not don't come around more often on halloween. Or maybe they do and are well aware to stay the hell away from my house. Nah, that can't be it, I'm always really nice to them, I just tell them all about the universe.

    oh man, i want one. we don't have them here.

    it'd be cool to make up some radical ridiculous religion, with a box full of little things to demonstrate it, speeches and stuff, brochures, and dress up like some kind of animal, with a big animal head and everything... and go door to door... fucking with people's minds... i wonder what they'd do? i wonder how many would let you in? that would be so fun.

    Well... I'd do something like that, but it wouldn't be a religious cult... just a running joke and a social organization.

    do you mean the mormon missionaries? they come to offer help and if you ask them not to bother you anymore, they won't... (a large portion of my family is mormon, i'm not defending the religion, i'm just saying).
    On the other hand, I don't support the idea of missionaries from any religion. they go to foreign countries and help out (which is good), but try to convince people of their beliefs. Stuffing your culture down other people's throats is wrong. I just think its disrespectful to try to change a culture on purpose.

    yeah, not something i'd take seriously, just something really out there with weird logic to support it... just to test how far people's respect and politeness go...

    Well, no matter what, the basis of any religion is love and as long as no harm is done through-- I see it from a different angle as there's no reason to complain about grouping foreign people to form diverse understandings. I don't see missionary status as forcing anything. All you should be doing is following your own beliefs (by improving yourself, you improve society and those around you) as a benefit and society as a benefactor.


    You don't have to agree with a word I say, but if there's anything I can tell you, a divided (but deemed united) country does not have the answers for the nations of Africa, South America, Asia, or any third-world continent or country. I feel that those who use their religion as a hyperbole to pull or rule over God-given logic will pay for their actions sooner or later.

    A lot of charity aid is actually dependent upon the recipients converting. It kind of is a little reminicent of extortion.

    Two of my best friends from school are Jehovah's Witness, against their will... A lot of them are pushed into it and can't leave, and they're required to knock on doors for at least 8 hours a month... They can't really get out of the religion or their families disown them...

    Half the people in it are in it because they can't help it, so... As annoying as they are... I don't think that I, personally, would hold it against them. However, I still think it's a cult, etc, etc... So. :rolleyes:



    and.. :D maybe they don't knock post-halloween because it's too cold :D ahha

    Yea, they are welcome to believe whatever they may...just they don't need to push it on others. :)
