It is my understanding that the worst way you can disappoint them is to
refuse the literature. As far as they are concerned, if they leave the
pamphlet, they've done their job. Whether or not you read it. So the best
policy is to open the door, and refuse the literature and THEN say no
thanks, cya later.

The way I see it, they're pretty harmless. They really are trying to do
good
(by their standards, at least), and they're not hurting anyone in the
process.
Much preferable, IMO, to go door-to-door trying to evangelize unbelievers
than to, say, fly airplanes into buildings to make your point.

They're annoying only to the extent that you allow them to annoy you. Just
smile, thank them, tell them you're not interested, wish them a good day,
and
go back in the house -- no sense in getting yourself upset. As I pointed
out
to another poster, if you treat them rudely, you get yourself a lot more
upset
than you get them, so who's being harmed?

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.
