I dare one of them to show up to my front door. They are going to be in for a fucked up conversation that will make them second guess their life choices.

I did that and converted a Jehovah’s Witness to Linuxism.

The fundies are always carrying on about daemons, I hope you set the JWs up with all the “best” ones, and more.

I actually had them install Ubuntu Christian Edition and showed them the bible apps where they could even use their own interpretation of the bible.

I don’t like to waste my time just to fuck with people, I usually try to fuck with people in a way which benefits society as a whole.

That’s a win from every possible perspective.

Are the JW’s using this? Two stopped by my door a few weeks ago to convert me or us (my wife is Catholic, I’m atheist). I noticed that they drove separately, and I wondered why they hated the environment so much (we live off the beaten path). And I’m pretty sure they ONLY stopped at our house, one parked in our driveway and the other along the road in front of the house. It definitely didn’t seem like a general canvass.

How does that relate to Linux usage?

One stopped by my house last week. I told them this is an atheist household and the bible is a fictional story book, no offense. I quite enjoyed the face they made.

In my younger days told a Jehova’s Witness that Jesus was my favorite fictional character because he had the coolest superpowers. They went from overjoyed that I was engaging with them to Charlie Brown sad walking away in the space of a sentence.

These days I’d probably be more rude but less offensive.

My favorite interaction was on a college campus. They had set up a table and were telling every passerby “Jesus loves you!” So I cheerfully returned “and Allah loves you!”

I will forever cherish the physical recoil and look of revulsion that crossed their faces. I’m an atheist, for context

Funny stuff religions are. The Allah of the Muslims and the Yaweh of Israel is the same God. The split comes from the segregation of the people back then. Which just confirms my point. None of them investigate, and just follow whatever their “leaders” say without ever thinking to question anything.“Go house by house and say THIS. Do not deviate from the script.” They’re like cattle, seriously.
