HISTORY: Where I live, Canada, Quebec, Montreal, the quantity of door knockers was high. It was purely Jewhova witnesses. They would come and knock maybe 2 or 3 times a year. They also hang around in the subway like 20 h a day. For some reason, they seem to have stopped knocking on doors, I think 10 y ago. THE QUESTIONS: What about mormons? How often do they come and knock? Did they stop

There is this problem of hate. It isn’t going to go away but christianity sure does a fine job when it comes to spreading hate. Christianity and derived religions spread people apart.

Personally, it doesn’t matter what they want to call it. It isn’t something that is verifiable. We aren’t talking about someone claiming to have eaten a ham sandwich at breakfast. I don’t have any problems believing that without evidence. It is a very ludicrous claim. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The standards of evidence aren’t the same for all cases.

My guess is that your husband feels hurt about something. He has an open wound that isn’t healing and probably never will.
