Not my thing, but I have no problem with it as long as the proselytizers are polite, and not too aggressive, and don't ring my doorbell, disturbing my peace. I wish my house were designed so I could put up a locked gate to keep away the peddlers, but also the architectural layout precludes that. Still I quite enjoyed my last two encounters, one with an LDS couple trying to persuade me to vote for Prop 8 (that was where I was exposed to this churches will have to host gay weddings rap), and a Jehovah's Witness guy. He had his Bible, and I had my Bible as literature book.
He told me after I said I was one of the few who was an out of the closet atheist basically, and he said, that in his wanderings, he runs into more and more such un-closeteds. But then it's California.
Oh yes, at the end he wanted to read something from the Bible to me. I asked him if I could read it to him instead, and he accommodated me. Yes, you guessed it, the verse he picked for me to read out loud was the one about the meek shall inherit the Earth. Was he trying to tell me something?
