Atheists -- Taking a Cue from Mormon Missionaries?

Post by _keithb »

Are the atheists going to start copying the Mormon missionary program and going door-to-door in pairs of two? Watch the next video and decide for yourself.

I predict that if they do Mormons will claim persecution.
Even though the atheists, going door to door to tell people their beliefs are wrong and that they should become atheists, would be exactly the same type of thing that Mormon missionaries do.

That was a really funny video. I love the guy that says "i'm a bishop...in the LDS church!" Like that should mean something to them.

It means they'll have a difficult time getting him to agree and that they will be subject to conversion attempts as well.

Similar to what happens with Mormon missionaries and atheists on a Saturday morning?

I think that this might have been the point of the video.
