Some freepers just came to my door

[brettdale]

Yes we have freepers in this part of the world too.

Some freepers just came to my door, saying the earthquakes and floods are God's work because
he is angry with the world. I just told them i was busy, I should of gone DU on their butts.

[AlienGirl]

1. Uh, what were they wearing?

[brettdale]

4. normal clothes

but each clutching a Bible.

[Texasgal]

42. heh! At first glance I thought you said

What were YOU wearing?? LOL!!!

[rd_kent]

2. That REALLY happened and all you came up with was "I'm busy"?? Doesnt pass the smell test....

[brettdale]

3. I have no backbone.

I have no backbone, and couldnt be bothered getting into an argument, if ya dont beleive me, next time i will
get out my cellphone and filmed it.

[rd_kent]

5. Nah, Im just messing with you. You should have blasted them though.

[brettdale]

10. haha

Yep I should of blasted them.

[guruoo]

35. Use your phone to film your blasts ahead of time....

When they show up, you don't have to say a word,
just pull out your phone and let 'em have it! :headbang:

[izquierdista]

14. Harry Reid called

He says you're Senate material.

[DaveinJapan]

30. lol. nt

[johnaries]

19. Don't feel bad. I've done the same thing.

In my mind, I like to think about inviting them in and lambastign them. But when they have shown up, I ended up just getting rid of them, too.

[Iris]

27. It's just so stunning to meet one in person!

It's hard to believe they are really real, so when they appear, it can render you speechless.

After reading the OP, I'm prepared now. If that happens to me, I'm just going to look them in the eye and say, "God thinks your disgusting" and then close the door.

[YOY]

6. You couldn't even afford a Christopher Meloni on SVU look for them?

You know...the "what the fuck is wrong with you" look and slowly shake your head.



Shame it's not the summer...my hose is right by the front door.

[martymar64]

43. He should give them a Freakshow look

This is Chris Meloni at his finest.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

7. Next time, send em over here to my house

I'll fry their Neanderthal asses.

[JuniperLea]

8. As a recovering Fundy myself...

I would have taken the opportunity to mess with their heads!

Oh, so God is angry with us? It's probably over how we treat lepers! Remember how he said we should care for them? Who are the lepers of the 21st century? Hmmm... gay people, brown people, poor people... we better do a better job of taking care of them like Jesus said! And he told us not to judge, so we better be careful about how we talk about them. Let's get going! Jesus said however we treat these people is how we are treating him! Come on! We're burning daylight!

[Pool Hall Ace]

39. Nice response! And you are a recovering fundy?

Interesting! :D

[JuniperLea]

41. Yes! And I feel so free!

If there is a Jesus, I know he's the benevolent Deity who spoke with love and kindness... you know, all those "red" words in the Bible:)

I had a hard go of it in "the end times" of my church attendance... my music ministry was "from the depths of hell" you know... rock and roll has no place in the church...it's the devil's music! Harrumph! And those "dirty hippies" I invited to church, oh no... we can't have that! Someone might catch bugs from them or something! You see, I took literally all the kindness in Jesus' words, and apparently, the church elders did not. We had a parting of the ways... I'm agnostic, with lingering beliefs:)

[Pool Hall Ace]

44. I forgot about the words attributed to Jesus being in red text.

I guess to some Christians, that means . . . go ahead and ignore them! :)

[JuniperLea]

49. Spot on! That's what they do!

Or get together with your rich and powerful cronies and re-write the damn thing so Jesus doesn't come off as quite so liberal. You know how it is... it's like not wanting cameras because people will believe their lying eyes before they believe their lying Senators.

[HillWilliam]

46. That's how you and I hit it off originally

when we talked a long while back about me being a recovering Misery Sinner Lutheran. Once I finally shook that scary old white man out of my head, I lost my religion and found faith. Kinda like The Church of 'S'All Good, congregation of one. The wackogelicals look for sin and depredation everywhere and that's all they see. What a pitiful life. I prefer to look for the good and beauty in the universe's handiwork. As a wedding officiant, I get to craft ceremonies for atheist, agnostic, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Wiccan... all kinds of blends. As far as I can tell, Good Spirit visits each one.

Religion gets in the way of faith, especially when folks try and use it as a weapon. So not my style.

We know where we live, you'n me. It's been a journey and hell was behind us.

[JuniperLea]

48. "Church of 'S'All Good"

Amen, and pass the paprika! It's a wonderful life when you look for wonders. I'm currently looking into the wonder of foods that are red... :) I rode the scary elevator to the 39th floor of the scary sky scraper sitting on an Earthquake fault in So Cal, and thought, wow... how lucky I am that I'm in an erect building wearing a warm coat heading for a nice cup of coffee and a job that will sustain me for the foreseeable future, instead of dirty and hungry with the world crumbling around me in Haiti. It was a roll of the dice that I landed here, instead of there.

[HillWilliam]

53. You got it!

Hey, I dug up my much loved thai-pepper plants right before frost and put them in my indoor greenhouse. There's still 6" of snow on the ground here in central NC, but I've got fresh HOT peppers still. A friend of mine at work gave me some tiny heirloom peppers that are hotter than the hinges of hell. YUM!! I'll be starting tomatoes and peppers for spring planting in just a couple more weeks. A garden needs reds and yellows in it. Oh, and wildflowers at the borders! No pesticides, we've bluebirds. (I'm getting back in farmer-mode!)

I have a collection of hymnals that usually live on an antique pump organ in my living room. From time to time, I'll carry one gently to the piano (they're ancient and delicate, too) and pick out one of my old favorites. "Count Your Many Blessings" often comes to my fingertips, along with "In the Garden". Some things you can't leave behind, especially when they speak of love and comfort.

[hlthe2b]

9. So, what part of the world are you in?

Your anecdote seems to lack any detail... (inquiring minds want to know ;))

[brettdale]

12. New Zealand

We are in the southern hemipshere.

[spanone]

11. tell them you're angry with the world too, but it's because of shits like them

[gmoney]

13. So their God chooses to punish the one of the most victimized nations on earth?

Their God sounds like a bully to me.

He should pick on someone his own size, or at least those responsible for the evil in the world... not a bunch of folks living a subsistence lifestyle, many of whom are devoutly religious themselves.

[KonaKane]

15. Answer the door naked next time

That always takes care of these idiots. First they blanche, and then beat a path away from your house in record time.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

16. Sounds like they should find a new brand of deity. That one is out to kill them.

[d_r]

17. Just pay them for the pizza

they'll leave

[slackmaster]

18. Those weren't necessarily Freepers

They were religious fanatics.

[KansDem]

20. Reminds me of a story my cousin used to tell...

She and her husband lived in Berkeley (California) during the 1960s. They were both "counter-culture" and her husband supported long hair and a beard (who didn't then?).

One day a couple of fundies came to their door and announced, "We're here to tell you about Jesus Christ."

My cousin's husband said, with a straight face, "I am Jesus Christ!"

The two fundies quickly turned and left without saying another word.

I thought I'd try the same thing some day if the need arose, but I don't think I could keep a straight face!

[Old Codger]

23. OR maybe

Tell them that you just got off the phone with him and he never said a thing about you guys stopping by.

[KansDem]

24. LOL!!!

:rofl:

I might be able to pull that one off with a straight face!

[d_r]

38. that reminded me

I used to work with a very nice, soft-spoken, lady who was Mormon. Nobody ever really talked about religion at all, but one day the subject of Jehovah's Witnesses came up. Everyone was joking about how they would see them coming and so they would hide and act like no one was home. This lady said "Oh, not me, I love it when they come. I invite them right in for some lemonade and say "let's talk all about it."

That really cracked me up.

[obliviously]

21. boing

[tabasco]

31. +1

[Zomby Woof]

34. Hahahahahaha!

I wonder how many DU veterans will get that reference. :rofl:

[Cali_Democrat]

40. I don't get it.

That is a pretty cool bouncing ball though.

[Echo In Light]

22. I usually take the time to talk w/them & scare the shit out of them

[niyad]

25. I generally tell them that my goddess gave birth to their god, and she is really pissed at the way

her son is behaving. then I sketch a pentagram in the air. amazing how fast they beat feet.

[la la]

26. lots of good ideas here-

i especially like the 'I am Jesus Christ' ;>)))

i usually tell them we're Jewish, or atheists and they turn tail and walk away, but these new ones are good!

[LaPera]

28. I always have hits of acid on hand & invite them in for coffee - six hours later they are democrats

[sendero]

29. I'd tell them.

... that if god were the interventionist sort themselves and people like them would have been struck by lightning long ago.

[zanana1]

32. I would welcome that.

If they're just going around leaving pamphlets, that's fine with me, but when they have incredibly stupid beliefs, I enjoy letting them know what idiots they are.

[proteus_lives]

33. Yeah.

Sounds like you're trying to be one of the cool kids.

[DainBramaged]

36. You should have gone DU on their asses, yes you should of

and they were trespassing yes they were.

[hunter]

37. Jehovahs Witnesses maybe?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jehovah's_Witnesses

My mom got kicked out of their religion because she talks with God directly. Fortunately my mom's God is pretty reasonable. I'll bet my mom could kick St. Paul's misogynistic ass and God and Jesus and Holy Mother Mary would be watching and laughing as St. Paul gets once smacked again. Poor St. Paul he almost died again when he first saw God in all Her Glory and thought "if God's not a guy, then who knocked up Mary?" God wasn't much pleased, but that's men, always thinking with their penises.

Ah, well. Next time the door-to-door evangelists come around I'll say, "My mom talks to God. Want her phone number?"

[Qanisqineq]

45. I get Jehovah's Witnesses, but they only speak Korean

and my Korean is pretty terrible. I have met a few English-speaking Jehovah's Witnesses here in Korea. They hang out outside the army base and swarm you when you walk by. I'm lucky those don't go door-to-door.

[donheld]

47. Did you ask them why Dick Cheney gets away with murder?

[krabigirl]

50. Wow. That is scary.

[BeatleBoot]

51. Crazy.

[BoWanZi]

52. I get annoyed with the door knockers too

We keep getting this really old lady who actually is very nice but is a member of one of the big christian groups. She comes to our house and is so damned nice and pleasant that I can't be mean to her. I just feel bad for her and just tell her nicely that I'm not interested and thanks for the info.

The mormons who come by are also very nice and I try to tell them that "No thank, not interested" but again, I just end up feeling bad and try to be nice.

I don't them in because I don't want to really lead them on.
