Similar thing happened to me: I was casually waiting for a bus next to a mormom church and two mormons engaged me into a conversation. Trying not to be rude, I listened to what they had to say and I ended up receiving a copy of the Mormon Bible.

Just don't attend their actual church (cult) service out of politeness or they will baptize you the first time you go.

Well maybe you are a Mormon at heart as they *are* super polite people ..

Here's how to deal with Mormons: Explain that you're not particularly religious, but you've read about some of the archaeological work that sort of backs up names and places referenced in the Christian Bible, the Jewish Torah, and the Muslim Q'Ran. Then ask the missionaries what physical or historical evidence they can offer which tends to verify the stories that are described in the Book of Mormon. There isn't any, so they won't be able to give a satisfactory answer. Mollify them with Jesus' words: "Blessed are those who believe without seeing.", and then close the door. Note: it's most effective if you've actually read those four books first.

I feel like a South Park episode is about to start.

Go see the show "The Book of Mormon" written by the South Park guys. That'll put you back to where you were before the girls showed up.

You're not a Mormon. As someone who is, I can assure you that there is much more involved that being nice to the missionaries and accepting some reading material. However, thank you for being polite to them. They are not supposed to be "pushy," so if you're not interested, be polite, but firm, in your disinterest.

Just plant both books on a spike and display them on your porch. If you don't have a porch, and if you don't want to damage your front door by planting a knife into it, just tape the spike to your door with duct tape.

Thanks for being polite to the two young missionaries. Sister missionaries serve 18 months of their lives, and pay their way, to share the gospel with people. Elders (male missionaries) serve for 24 months, again, paying their own way. Accepting some literature from them does not make you a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It does take several meetings, some lessons, time spent reading and praying, etc before they will ask if you believe the church to be true, and if you would like to be baptized. Despite some of the misguided, uninformed, and fun to read negative comments, the only way to know if the Mormon church is the true church is to read the Book of Mormon, a companion to the Holy Bible which we also believe to be scripture, and to pray about it. Why not visit www.mormon.org and see if you want to learn more? You may find something you have been searching for.

Here's what you do the next time they are in the area. 1. Get a white robe. 2. Make fake blood. 3. Paint a pentagram on your chest with fake blood. 4. Coat kitchen butcher knife with fake blood. 5. Answer door with knife and pentagram showing and tell them you are in the middle of an animal sacrifice.
