Maybe a nice block wall with subtle pentagram pattern?
I used to live up in the hills where the neighbors actively hated each other. The nearer-to-the-street neighbor put a swastika pattern in his driveway bricks for his Jewish neighbor to drive past every day.

On a similar note, I used to be involved in acrylic fang-making for the local live-action role players. Prosthesis good enough to fool a dentist taking a agood look. I stayed the night at a friends place after a night of gaming. In the morning, the household was still in costume after a night of gaming, fangs and all. We got a knock at the door, and it turned out to be three Jehovas Witness. We invited them in for a nice chat, of course. After a few minutes, they began to notice something was a little... odd... All the shades were down. These people are awfully pale. Is that a skull? With a candle? What's that red stuff they're drinking? (it was dark red cool-aid) It wasn't untill I let a big, wide yawn that thier faces lost all colour, when they realised something's not right.... The look in thier eyes was priceless as they were bolting for the door. They left thier books and everything. They came back for them a few minutes later, but refused to come to the door. They wanted us to drop the bag out the window. |

You can run, but you can´t hide. They got you point blanc by the balls !
But seriously, you are in a spot. Arguably they will not take no for an answer and you are probably taking a risk telling them to fu&% off. Oh, and good luck trying to debrief them out of their fairy tales ! Well, there goes the neighborhood...

I had the same thing happen when I moved from So. Cal. to Kentucky. I just dont like being pushed into something because the others are doing it. I may go there eventually but on my own time.
I agree with what procon said "I respect others right to worship in any way they like, why is it they can't respect my right not to?"

My grandfather lived on an isolated chunk of land 'way North of town, but still the Jehovah's Witnesses would come around regularly to proselytize. He decided one day to stop it once and for all and answered the door naked. Voila: no more Jehovah's Witness visitors.

When we bought our house the sat. morning bell ringing began with the try and convert the new people to our way started. The first time I informed the folks nicely that we wern't interested and thanked them for their time. The second time (2weeks later) I answered the door in my birthday suit and tried to engage them in a religious conversation. They informed me that they wern't interested and thanked me for my time.
Havn't seen them since!

They are just doing what they think is best... hopefully they won't be too overbearing, but you could just tell them you're Catholic and they'll leave you alone

I'd probably tell them something like:
"My salvation is between God and me. Your interference in it is blasphemy to me. Please mind your own business and leave me to mine. "

Wrap up a koran and leave it on their doorstep as a gift. Convince your wife/girlfriend to start wearing a hajab(muslim womens head cover) and engage them in frequent discussions about how beautiful Mecca is at this time of year....
Naw. Tell the to F-0ff. |

Every Christian has their own relationship with God. You get to choose the depth. How about going to Church for once? If its not your cup of tea after that just tell them.
