I guess we must have led a very sheltered life despite having lived in

many different states and countries, including two years in your

general area (Annapolis, MD). In nearly 45 years we were only

approached once by pushy, religious representatives trying to recruit

or convert and that was in Zion, IL, back in 1972. The

"conversation" lasted about 10 seconds and has never happened since.

Those are my experiences as well. I've lived all my life in the "Bible Belt" in rural, "semi-rural" and urban settings, and can count on one hand the times that someone has actually come to my door or approached me promoting any religion. Almost every time it's happened they've been Mormons, and they are polite and leave after I tell them I'm not interested.

Maybe some people just attract this type of thing? They look for those that need it most, you know... :-)

Well, around here everyone must need it then, because we have people
come door to door EVERY door, wanting to minister to you I'd say average
every other weekend.



We used to see the active proselytizers at the front door several times
a month when we lived in the south, but not so much here. If the
doorbell rings during the day, the odds are the callers are from a local
church whose members are out trying to drum up business for Sunday. I
don't mind that. If the "door cam" tells me they're black, I'll usually
answer and open the door and say hello, because I know a few of the
black ministers down here and it is likely the callers are from one of
those churches.

Saying that I don't mind the occasional callers trying to drum up Sunday
business is trolling?

Well, you did throw in the *black* qualifier a couple of times, Mr.
Harry Krause the racist.

In my experience, the black church people who knock on doors here aren't
looking for converts, but the white church people are. I find
proselytizers disgusting.

You only open the door and say "Hi" to black people? Isn't that just a
tad bit racist?
