How about the cunning methods you have used to deter religious folk who have lobbed on your doorstep from converting you to their chosen way to the glory of God?

Mine is this:

Had a college mate living with me who was New Age, and being students, we were always up for a laugh. One Sunday, the Seventh Day Adventist lads in the neat white shirts and polished shoes lobbed at the gate. My flatmate told me to run downstairs, and grab one of my chickens (I kept quite a few poultry in the backyard for the eggs - students get sick of two-minute noodles and rice). I did so, grabbing my black cockerel, and my flatmate quickly changed into her long black Elvira dress and took the chook from me. She picked up one of our sharp kitchen knives, and when the lads had got to the front door and knocked, she opened the door, and shrieked at them "YOU'RE INTERRUPTING MY SATANIC RITUAL!". They nearly broke legs getting down the stairs and out the gate, with the added incentive of having a cranky rooster tossed in their general direction during departure. Chaos reigned, and no further God-botherers turned up at our place.
