Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
How do you typically handle the sermon seekers knocking at your front door?

We don't seem to get any LDS foot traffic in our neighborhood, but the JW's pound the pavement pretty hard. They seem to make the rounds once or month or so.
I'm polite, but my stock response is always "Let me cut to the chase, fellas. I'm an atheist and I'm 100% confident I'm right on this one. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day." The confused facial expressions are usually pretty hilarious.

I talk to them for about 5 minutes and then let the JW/LDS people know I'm not interested. I'm classy like that.
You're classier than me. I try to keep it to 60 secs or less of interaction.
I used to tell the LDS guys I went to HS in Deseret homeland by @89ute and they would get all excited before I said no thanks.
They believe in a higher power so I always look to see if I can bring them over to the REAL God side without all of their insane rules and religion.
I smile politely, tell them I'm not interested, and close the door...politely. I try to do this before they even get a word out so I'm not tempted to engage them.
Having gone door to door back in the day for Real God I have compassion. Smile and no thank you.
Answer the door stark naked with a pistol and scream INFIDEL!!!!
They'll never come back pal.
George McGovern was REAL God ?
He was a legit big dick war hero.
@PurpleBaze true ?
Works every tim.
Who's Tim????
Do the opposite of this:

Instead of them doing the ding-dong-ditch flaming bag of poo, you instead throw one out at them to stomp out.
Might not be the wisest plan during certain seasons in Central Oregon due to wildfire.
Having a No Soliciting sign helps filter out most of the door knockers. Just before the Super Bowl, some kid was selling squares for a pool. I said no thank thank and I am not interested and closed the door. A week before that a guy who claimed to service the previous owners with pest control. I just said the same thing. The other people who cannot read the no soliciting sign are people who sell/lease solar panels. No thank you I am not interested and close the door.
Close the lane
I tell the solar bros I don't want their Ching Chong panels and that south facing roof sq footage is blocked by trees. Christ.
I feel like post play is dead in today's game and everyone has weak ass shit in the lane.
JWs have written me letters twice. New tactic I guess.
I have one in my family and think it's a crazy, backwards religion TBH. Unsolicited Billy opinion…
I humored those fucks for a couple conversations to get the brass tacks dollars. Solar is nowhere close to penciling out. It's quite possibly the worst investment you can make in a home. And I have a lot of south facing roof with no trees obstructing.
Solar pencils out in LA, AZ, TX. Places like that. But Seattle ? GTFO.
We put a No Soliciting sign in the yard about 2-3 years ago and had 1 bible thumper knock on the door since then.
We might get a few others but I also removed our door bell but kept the button so it’s possible there’ve been a few I didn’t hear.
