I think so, but let’s test it just to be sure.

Certainty I can’t help you with, but statistical confidence let’s go.

No thanks I follow the jeebus.

If I ever win a lottery I'm legit going to pay someone to do this.
Dasus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Man you don’t need to win the lottery I’ll do that for a moderate fee.
livus@kbin.social 1 year ago
Great! But I need to win the lottery in order to be able to pay your moderate fee.

Right, please tell me. Is this just a meme thing or do people actually knock on other people’s doors to try to convert them to their religion?
And does this only happen, bizarrely, in the country with the highest number of gun-owning cowards?
It just seems such an odd combination
gigachad@feddit.de 1 year ago
Jehovas witnesses knocking on doors is an absolutely known thing in Germany.
speeding_slug@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Ever heard of Jehovah’s witnesses? Or Mormons going on their mission? They aren’t constant here, but they are definitely a thing in the Netherlands.
melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 1 year ago
It does. It got to the point I explained the concept of trial by combat to them, and said if they really believed, they would fight me-me armed them not.
Never worked.
So I got a grab bag of cheap sex toys to keep by the door the moment I got my first place (was homeless when I turned 18) and ‘would you like to talk about Jesus’ became ‘trick or treat’.
AceTKen@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Nope. I’m in Canada and it happens here too.
livus@kbin.social 1 year ago
New Zealand here, I've only had it once in the last 5 years and it was awesome, they turned out to be from a doomsday cult that believes God is a living Korean woman or something like that.
Toneswirly@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wouldnt happen. Scientists are too in love with the possibility they are wrong. Little room for evangelism
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Only because they often are… which is what makes science so great. If everything was thought to be correct, what good would testing and new discovery be? The fact that scientists have historically been wrong drives scientists to prove other scientists wrong.
wewbull@feddit.uk 1 year ago
The scientific method:
- Make a guess
- Prove yourself wrong, or get someone else to do it
- Repeat

I’ve found the fastest ways to get religious folk that knock on my door to scurry in a hurry is:
- offer to listen as long as they like but only after they roast a bowl with you
- tell them to pay their fucking taxes
exanime@lemmy.today 1 year ago
What’s a roasted bowl?
HootinNHollerin@slrpnk.net 1 year ago
Smoke weed in a bong or pipe
The bowl being of the bong or pipe

“I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves,” wrote the former Cornell University professor. “I wrote the curves in soap on the shower wall, and went to write the idea down.”
homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yes. Yes I would, come in, come in!
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, uhh, come in, how’d you know I was a space need? Would you also like to scope out my house to rob it later? That’s fine too, as long as you tell me about this cool space fact.

Instructions unclear, we now have door to door scientologists instead
Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 year ago
Pretty sure I’m allowed to shoot those in this state.

I’d have so many questions. In a good way. They wouldn’t have time to visit anyone else that day.

i wonder what has happened that enabled or hindered science to not become evangelical
OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What do you think it would it look like if it did?
Gerudo@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Have you heard of dark energy and matter?
No what is it?
Well, we really don’t know but it’s there. Trust us.
Xavienth@lemmygrad.ml 1 year ago
“Trust us” lol nobody says that. It’s more like “This is our greatest hypothesis to fit the data. If you come up with something better we’d love to hear it”
prole@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Didn’t Pythagoras have a cult or some shit?
Also, I would say a lot of modern medicine since the discovery of germ theory has included a sizeable portion of evangelism.
mvirts@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I would do that… but a bit of linux evangelism would slip in as well 😹
Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
It remember me an old story
onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 year ago
It’s a two-edged sword: yes, you’re probably doing great work, but on the other hand it might come off as annoying and give science a bad name.
I wouldn’t mind some random knock on my door once a week or so by someone who wants to sit down and teach me some random scientific principle or spit out fast facts. One would have to watch out for false priests though.

Is there any possibility of life in the atmosphere venus?
VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 1 year ago
YouTube already does this in a less invasive way. “Here’s this random video on theory crafting how we can put life on Mars that we just thought you might like.”
Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 year ago
I’d be more suspicious of a person coming to my door purely just to educate me on cool science things. I wouldn’t be able to shake the feeling that he’s trying to sell me something.
At least with religion I know their game and I know I’m not interested but science that’s interesting.
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 1 year ago
They spend an hour talking about the possibility of life on Venus then they whip out the vacuum cleaner
slazer2au@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Better than a set of steak knives. Because that conversation goes very differently.

listen, you know you want that encyclopedia. imgaine how good it would look. women will swoon at your big books. you know what big books mean.

I’d be more suspicious of them telling me life exists on Venus, specifically. Last I heard it was a hot-ass gaseous atmosphere made of acid. My money is still on Europa.

Religion people are trying to sell you stuff too so same difference
