If someone pushes their personal or religious views on you, what do you do?

Probably that I'm just not interested most of the time. If it works for them, great. Hope they have a live filled with joy. But if they continue to push, I'll give an opposing argument they might find insulting. If it's some door to door group & I get stuck with them I'll just tell them to have a nice day & close the door.

Except for these cute boys in dress shirts & ties who bike around town and go door-to-door(I think Jehovah Witness). I'll turn the conversation to their religion's position on homosexuality and while smiling at them. And, you know I answer the door wearing just cutoff shorts, nothing more. They usually excuse themselves and leave.

I simply tell them that I am not interested and lets move on.

Basically ditto to the above. If they don't push me, I won't push back.

Not much of anything. My beliefs aren't weak enough to care what somebody else wants me to think.

Well If I am corresponding with them in e-mails I stop, remove their addresses from the book. If they are on my doorstep I tell them I am not interested and close the door. If a friend in person did it I would probably drop them. Its funny though the same people who try to do that in mail would never do it in person.
