Is it normal to find this annoying and unhelpful

Please picture this. It's 7 am, you're sleeping off a hangover, when the doorbell rings. You get up and out of bed, only to answer to a middle aged lady you don't know. She asks you if you have heard the wonders of our dear god. She doesn't give you time to answer. Next thing you know she is all over you talking about christianity, and god, and the bible, and everything near religion. You politely tell her you don't have time for it. She then proceeds to ask you to give her "a bible lecture for the day for the rest to read". I don't have any bible sections bookmarked or whatever she may think, I don't read the bible, I'm not even a Christian. I tell her I have no clue and that I really don't have the time. She mumbles "you don't have the time, or you don't have the disposition huh". Then she acts like nothing and goes on talking about how much she would like to see me another day to keep telling me about our dear lord. At that point I'm furious (also please take in consideration that I don't wake up with the best mood, let alone patience), so I just close the door and go back to bed. I'm just trying to make a point here. People who do this are only making religion annoying. It's obvious that if I don't care for religion, a random stranger isn't gonna magically convert me. I think they're only making things worse. After episodes like this I feel even better not being into religion. Don't you think it's useless?

    In the Bible it is said,

    "As you enter the home, give it your greeting. 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet." Matthew 10

    Disciples are not told to harass people but to offer them the word of God and to stay if the person decides to welcome them.

      This.

      A lot of things Christians do nowadays is directly contradictory to what the gospels tell them to do.

        Yes and that's most people have a very bad opinion of christians. The first christians were not like that.

          Some Christian are still not like that. Some Christian communities are helpful and do lots of good charity work, without being enforcing their views on others.

    Usually I advocate politeness, but she's certainly not being polite to you by coming to your house so early in the morning. You don't owe her any of your politeness in return; always just slam the door as soon as you see who it is and don't feel bad about it.

    A very VERY tiny bit of me envies people who have 'faith', but there is a lot about evangelicals that truly gets on my fucking tits.

    I knew an old guy who would just tell these people to p*ss off if they showed up at his door. I wish I had the nerve to do the same!

    I NEVER answer the door when the local Jehovah's Witnesses come a'knockin'... And they always leave their shitty little pamphlets on my porch too.

    They make great fire starting paper. }:D
