OP: How to repel Mormons? There are actually lots of ways:

1. Open up your door naked
2. Tell them to &*(#@ off
3. Spit in their face
4. Start throwing punches until they leave

And the one I like the most -- thank them politely for taking the time to contact you but that you're not interested in learning about the Mormon faith. Yup, that's all you have to do. If you really want to, tell them that you only gave them your name and phone number because they seemed like decent guys and that you were just trying to be nice. They won't get offended, trust me (unlike with the @$$hats who choose options 1 to 4 above).

These guys are usually 18-20 years old, and are not from Calgary. They are just trying to help people, and part of that is sharing what they themselves believe in, in hopes that it will make people's lives better. They don't get paid for doing this, and they are otherwise just regular 18-20 year old guys who play sports, go to school, etc.

Yeah, trying to help people doesn't have to involve religion -- sometimes it's just about providing service to someone who might need a helping hand. However, that's not an invitation to turn these guys into slaves remember, they're human too...
