Atheists & Agnostics
Related: About this forumTwo of those Mormon clean-cut guys just showed up at my door.
The minute they said they were from the Church of Jesus Christ, I said that I was an atheist and not to bug me, and then I shut the door on them. First time I have had Mormons at my door. It is usually the fundie Baptists from the local church.

(18,312 posts)I had one give me the woo-woo hoochie-coochie eyes at a Shoneys buffet in Cherokee, NC, in 1996. I was 20 and hot. He was....not 20 and scrumptious. I often dream of his face, turning around on his bicycle, waving at me as my family drove away in the other direction. Sigh. Unrequited love. I'd wear magic underpants just for him to take off :

From the calendar "Hot Mormon Muffins - A Taste of Motherhood." Which apparently wasn't a real big hit in Salt Lake City, at least among the Mormon patriarchy.
You can see the whole thing by Googling "hot mormon muffins." (Actually, I just want all of you to have that search term in your Internet History...)

(33,982 posts)They were walking up to my doorway, as I pulled into my driveway. I locked up my brakes in the gravel and all four of them jumped a fair distance at the sound. (There was no danger, I was about 60 feet away, off to the side, but the noise startled them badly.)

(18,219 posts)Every time I have had them show up, it has been two. I think two is a magic number.
And I used to be bothered by them all the time because there was a Mormon church in the subdivision I lived in....they seemed to start close to home on their mission.

(4,031 posts)...deer hunting season, I was in my mid to late thirties, with a scruffy salt and pepper beard, all dressed out to spend about 8-hours in the woods, with my wool red/black jacket (over sized to accommodate the hoodie and wool shirt plus warm accoutrements underneath) and big warm orange-blaze hat all of which made my typical 5'-10" and 185 lbs look like a lean 6+feet and 225+lbs (I had some really nice hiking boots with a thick soles) as I casually strode out of my front door carrying my 12-guage shotgun with scope when I heard a gasp and almost stepped on this unbeknownst to me, maybe 100-lb dripping wet, waif (who looked to me younger than 12 but was likely anywhere from 16 to 19) standing on my front stoop with a bible in her hand.
Her mentors/parents were in my driveway huddled by the car maybe 30-feet away.
Now, I had had a cold the previous couple of days so my voice was in a gravelly octave that could have given James Earl Jones a run for his money.
Before the waif could stuff her lungs back into her thorax and collect her breath to begin her spiel,
I held up my hand and grumbled out.. Not...Today...Please
Not a peep...not a sound... she floated back to the car like tinkerbell dodging a cannon ball and everyone there piled in quicker than you could say bambi.
And I have never, ever, had anyone knock on my door since.
It has been ~12 years.

(6,452 posts)There's some weird shit that goes on in Mormon temples and it makes them VERY uncomfortable to talk about. They like to claim they won't talk about it because it's "sacred", but it's mostly embarrassment.
