4. I haven't had much personal interaction with this type until they rang
my doorbell in Law School. They asked about my faith and I said I was Catholic. They pushed and I said I was happy with what I was, goodbye. I was polite. They kept coming back and I had to get progressively ruder in response to their aggressiveness - essentially slamming the door in their face and not answering the door.

Growing up Catholic, surrounded by Catholics, these was just bizarre to me - starting off with approaching a complete stranger and quizzing them about their religion.

A month or two ago someone approached me in the parking lot of the grocery store as I was loading my stuff into the minivan. "Are you a believer?" My response, eloquent, of course - "huh?". He repeats, I say yes. He starts babbling. I just hurry to get out of there. He was a very, elderly man and I wasn't in the mood for a confrontation. I was actually rather stunned.

Aggressive? They are unbelievably aggressive.
