As a former Jehovah’s Witnesses turned atheist, you all have fun, but I’m not spending my Saturday knocking on doors anymore.
… You know what? I’ve got time. Do you want some tea or coffee?
Legitimately would invite them to chill with me on the porch. I’m not inviting them in though
Vampires ain’t gonna trick me a third time.
I’d tell them there is almost no water on venus, that it’s like thousands of times dryer than the sahara. Until they have a scientific explanation for an alternative biology that is not water based and can survive in air, it’s far more likely phosphine is created by some abiotic process.
I do find it funny because this whole hysteria about life on venus is so silly. There is no reason to assume phosphine is being created by a completely alien, non water based biology. But they want to believe and/or sell clicks.
We should do that. lol
Do we have to stop at science?
I’m totally down to welcome in strangers who want to talk history or philosophy, too. Roving bands of people, seeking shelter by paying with their special interests.
I think I’d still be annoyed.
Is there a net positive for sects to still do this?
Yeah, but it’s not what you think. The door to door proselytizing is for them, not for you. They get turned down, yelled at, doors slammed in their face, it makes them turn to their partner (they never do it alone) and the church more, because it’s meant to be isolating.
That’s so much worse than I thought.
