Rated PG 13...a bit of rough language...but FUNNY! :rotfl:

"Australian filmmaker John Safran is so fed up with mormons ringing his doorbell early in the morning that he flies to Salt Lake City Utah and tries to convert Mormons to atheism. Needless to say, the locals were not pleased."

I think it's hilarious, although others may not think so.

For anyone curious, here's an excerpt from the first two minutes. The text doesn't do it justice, though. You've gotta see the energy behind his rant and hear his accent.

Now listen up Mormons. A lot of people would say you're freaks. That you wear special underpants and worship some guy with magic glasses. That you're not proper Christians. That, in fact, you're a cult and your theology compares unfavorably, to the raileans(?), Branch Davidians, and Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone.

But not me! I think you're fine. You definitely don't make LESS sense than the Catholics, Muslims and Buddhists.
However...the Catholics don't come round bashing on my door on Saturday morning. The Muslims and the Buddhists don't come round bashing on my door on Saturday morning. Even the Salvation Army, who (?) up with their trumpets, bassoons, tubas and tamborine ensembles, making more noise than Iron Maiden, have the common decency to wait until after lunch! But that's not for you, Mormons, is it? You're up bright and perky on Saturday morning, after going to bed at 7:30 the night before after watching some Benji movie. Well I wasn't.

I live in Phoenix Arizona and have experienced this Mormon phenomenon. This video was hilarious! For myself, tho, I politely tell them no thank you. I respect others' religious beliefs. But, if they are pushy, I simply ask them questions I know they can't possibly answer in convincing fashion. Such as, "So if your god is perfect, why can't he keep his own 10 commandments?"
 
That was great. Kudos to Mr. Safran . After twenty years of being a Mormon, being in a bishopric, and knocking on countless doors with a junior companion (missionary youth), I sure have seen Mr. Safrans' anger more times than I can count. Knocking on doors is what is called "tracking". I dunno why. But boy-o-boy 'twas interesting on what people could be doing when you knock on their door.!.!.!
:halo: :halo: :halo:
 
That's a good one :D, cause a few minutes ago similar -convincers- rang at my door and I only wondered, how the heck they got into the house.
 
It looked as the mormons didn't find door discussions as interesting from the other side of the fence. It probably did make one or two of them think an extra thought about their choices in life :lol:!
 
That was very funny. Thanks for posting.

Yeah the people were definately not amuzed. Although I am slightly amuzed when they come knocking on my door. When I tell them I follow a more Earth based path, they usually turn and get into their car pretty quickly.
 
Hilarious!

So, they get a taste of their own medicine
but in a way they least expected!

I occasionally get LDS and JW at my door, and
I what I tell them is this: "If you are going to talk
to me about your faith, then is it fair that I tell
you about my faith first?"

Most of them thank me, turn around, and walk off,
but the ones who do stick around, I give them Paleo-
Christianity. Sometimes it gets interesting and sometimes
it is moot.
