How do you handle religious missionaries?

Pardon me if that's an incorrect terminology by the way. Anyway, I ask because there were some Mormon missionaries from Utah visiting my area, more specifically my college campus today. My friend and I were approached by two young men first, and they started questioning our beliefs and such. Since they were mainly focused on my friend, I pulled out my phone when my other friend texted me and lied about it being something important, saying I had to go. Met up with him after they finished talking to him. He flipped me off and gave me the bible they gave him, but he was cool about it. I ran into two more near the spot where I usually wait after my final class, but thankfully they weren't nearly as pushy. Plus I was able to lie about the others giving me a good speech already because of the bible in my hand. Had a nice chat with one of them...then they met up with the two guys I bailed on and I slipped out of sight before they noticed me. Feels good to be sneaky and deceptive. Anyway, you got any stories? How do you usually deal with them? And for a bonus, what are creative ways of messing with them?

  • I walk up to them, shake their hand, offer them a drink of something (if I am at home) and proceed to have a conversation. If I am out and about and they have bikes, I'll offer them a ride to wherever they are going. They are good people and I try to treat them the way I would want to be treated if I was in their shoes (I once was a missionary myself so I know what it's like.)
