I feel bad when a Mormon or Jehovah’s witness comes to our door. They have no idea what they are getting into. My dad usually invites them, starts the kettle, and asks them to take a seat. They usually think they’re about to get 45minutes of talk time about their religion, boy are they in for a surprise. My dad has a case of 500 of these, he usually hands them one at the beginning and starts teaching them about Islam instead them teaching him about their religion. They can never answer my dads questions(he’s read all the books Torah, bible, book of Mormon ect). My dad always asks them why should i convert, what makes your religion better than mine? Usually they are left speechless at the end and just hand my dad their literature as they waddle away in confusion. My dad always tells me that he doesn’t understand how these people walk around trying to convert people when they haven’t even studied the other religions to tell him why there’s is the right one.
Interesting idea.
I wonder if there are any atheists that do something similar? Like, hand out cards that say “Why your religion is no better than the next one”.
I dunno, but one time my best friend was cutting up some meat, and there was blood all on her because she’s clumsy, and the door rang and she thought it was her boyfriend, so she answered it holding the knife, but it was some Jehovah’s Witnesses, so she used her standard which is to cut them off before they start so she quite aggressively said “NO I’m Jewish” then closed the door and realised all they got from that interaction was a goth chick covered in blood, holding a knife and shouting about being Jewish.
I typically ‘get away’ with ‘NO, I’m Jewish’ but two older, super southern African-American ladies once replied, ‘Oh, we love Jews! Jesus was a Jew!” I didn’t even know what the hell to say to that.
Yeah, the flipside of claiming you’re already religious is that they can often then jump to “oh so you already believe in god!!! Do u want extra goddiness????”
