I'm not sure what country you're living in... but when Christian bigotry is legislated or mandated or when it becomes part of government policy, then it's a bit difficult to just ignore it and say "no thanks".

You're much more sympathetic than I am. I don't even want to be bothered... AT ALL. I don't want them knocking at my door. I don't want to have to answer the door, nor do I want to be put in a situation where I have to confront them and tell them to leave me alone (repeatedly!) This just doesn't work.

>> This will relieve stress on you and them both. <<

The only way the stress can be relieved is if they leave me alone. Completely alone!! Whether it's knocking at my door or making laws out of their beliefs... they just need to go away!!
