To scare them away from fundamentalist christianity or what? Or maybe you just wanted to entertain them? Jack Chick is hilarious, if only it were intentionally so.

Again, these groups are not Christian, fundamentalist or otherwise. They are cults who profess beliefs that are in direct conflict with the Bible. Such as God is a man who is married and him and his wife are from the Kolob star system (Mormons) and Jesus is an angel, not God become flesh (JW).

Seems to me that EVERY religion is a cult by definition. I got those definitions from Merriam-Webster dictionary.

well, i was raised mormon, and can tell you that they do not believe that god lives in the Kolob star system, or any other star system for that matter. If you want the low down on Mormon Beliefs, ask me. If i dont know the answer, i can easily get it.

Got a visit from a couple of christian preachers today. They were told that we were not interested in anything they had to say and they continued to try and invite themselves in my home. As I politley told them no again they shoved a card in my face with a picture of jesus on it and a biblical quote on the back. I told them that I don't appreciate being forced into something I don't believe in and they dropped the card in my door and left. I was very close to starting more trouble in which they could of handled. This is one reason why I don't follow a religion. Made me sick.

I agree that preachers (any religion) should not try to force themselves into your home.
To me, church is supposed to be believers gathering together to hear the gospel preached. Did you know Jesus was against organized religion? Someone once said that religion is man trying to reach up to God, and salvation is God reaching down to man. Or something like that.
My definition of religion is a set of rituals designed to please one deity or another. The thing is, salvation is of faith, not of works. Works are the result of salvation.
