A thread in GD inspired this.

Edited to correct redundancy. I must have whatever Sanford's got. :rofl:

1. Start a prayer and then
veer off into praising Ra, the Sun God or something.

2. I simply say, "Thank you, but I'm not interested."
Then I close the door. Works every time!

9. I say "I respect your beliefs, but I don't share them, and now I'm going to ask you to leave"

3. Tell them to not bother you.
I'm an atheist and when religious types start pulling their crap around me, I tell them to stop. They usually do. If they persist, I remind them they're not being very good Christians.

4. Just give 'em copies of the Watchtower

6. Blast NIN "Closer" as they approach and tell them you
worship Satan.

Little MB's dad and I used to do that :rofl:

7. "Tell you what. When I am welcomed at your house to talk about atheism...
...then you can tell me about Jesus in mine."

8. I tell them in a very grave tone that they don’t want to know what I know.
I think it works better if you actually do know though.

10. "Oh, good - you're just in time to help me sacrifice the dog to Satan. Come on in!"
"Honey, is that butcher's knife sharpened yet? We've got help this time!"

"The pentagram is drawn in blood on the living room carpet. Would you mind lighting the candles in the points?"
