Film maker from Oz gets annoyed with Mormons knocking on his door early in the morning gives them a dose of their own medicine...

Unfortunately, these "athiests" don't know much about biology, either...

Well, that's fair. I can count on the thumbs of one hand all of the door-to-door evangelists I've met who knew more than rudimentary theology and who didn't have the little bit that they did "know" mostly wrong.

As someone who's been in that culture, let me assure you that one of its dirty little secrets is that the church leaders who send out door to door evangelists know that it's a horribly ineffective, scant odds form of recruiting. It's not about bringing in new recruits. It's about making the recruits you do have feel useful.

(I gather the same is mostly true of door-to-door canvassers in political campaigns, too.)

I can certainly believe that is a "make work" program to make the faithful feel useful. The two encounters I've had, one with Mormons, and another with Jehovah Witnesses, both were...interesting.

The Mormons were fun in that in that I told them I was pagan, and they went on about how the God gave us the earth to take care of...and by the end of the conversation, I had lead them down the path of the Many Worlds interpretation of Quantum Physics, and that in a Universe Next Door the world is run by a crazy Goddess named Eris, and thus Her word is just a relevent as God's....

The JW's were a pair of woman...they got me up virtually out of bed. I answered the door in my underware, and the one front launched into her spiel, and the one behind her who was down a few steps kept staring at my crotch. I had a hard time keeping a straight face...and told the person that I was about to get ready for work, and I didn't have time to talk to them.
