I don't need to hear some idiot yelling about how god has a plan for me on my way to work, and I sure as hell don't want one on my doorstep asking to be invited in so he can read me some passages from Genesis.
I've always found that open conversation, even with strangers, even with people I completely disagree with is often the most enlightening. We most likely know how our friends and family feel about the big questions, but conversation with someone willing to have honest and respectful interchange has a way of challenging your belief system in a unique way. And I like to give my worldview a good honest challenge now and then.
