To me, it makes no difference how kooky, culty or wacky anyone's religion appears to me, or is in actuality. I recognize people's freedom to religious conviction. I might make fun of it in private company, but that's my right of free speech.

However, I consider solicitation of religion, or "evangelism" to be invasive, arrogant and frankly intolerant to my right to free religious conviction, and in turn I'm not tolerant of that practice. If they catch me on a good day, I simply don't answer the door... if I'm in a mood, I tell them exactly how I feel about their trespassing and solicitation. I do the same with telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen, so its not an anti-Mormon thing. Like Flashpoint said, I get inundated with enough junk advertising, spam mails, and solicitation over the phone, I don't want it at my door.
