I haven't actually, no
But now that you mention it, I appreciate that it must get on peoples tits.

I would consider the guys who go door to door on the more extreme side of the religious folk, acting as a counterweight to the (admittedly few) atheists who insist that science has the answer for everything and there definitely absolutely no-doubt-about-it no God.

The best thing and the worst thing about being free to believe whatever you want is that allows someone else the freedom to think you're a cunt for believing what you do :)

I once found a filofax (few years back) lying on the pavement
I would have posted it to the person who lost it but for the fact that it belonged to a Mormon (if my memory serves me right) and it was filled with appointments and streets to target. Where he'd got some positive response he'd put the name and address and some comments. One of them said something like "scout leader, very important, CHASE UP!".

No you don't matey! Still got it somewhere I think.

I disagree
I wouldn't say they are 'extreme'.

They simply follow by example - Jesus went door to door to talk about the kingdom to those who would listen.

'extreme' are the people who go about screaming at others that they are going to hell. (Which is aptly hypocritical as the bible plainly doesn't mention hell).

Erm...
I can't remember the bit in the Bible where Jesus goes door to door.

I remember him lunching, supper-ing, etc. in lots of people's houses and doing lots of healing, but the bit where the disciples and him split up and head off round a town to do some door-knocking and preach to random people?Don't remember that. Maybe I'm being ignorant?

I haven't read enough of the Bible to really be qualified to comment,
but I abjectly refuse to believe that it doesn't mention Hell anywhere in it.

"they will be cast into the outer darkness"
Mark 2:15 translated from Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic as "the unseen state" meaning after death of the body.

Look in any concordex at the back of a Bible under "Future home of the wicked" and there's a bunch.
