I wouldn't do it. But then again, I've never had door-to-door Hindus attempt to convert me. I
have had Christians, Jehova's Witnesses, and Mormons do that. I don't find Hindu tracts and copies of
The Cowtower lying around everywhere I go, but I find plenty of Christian tracts and
Watchtowers.
They have no problem going to anywhere and everywhere in the world and telling everyone else that they are wrong.
And that, to me, is the difference. A religion where the followers are willing to live and let live, content to hold their own beliefs and leave everyone else
the hell alone is one that I'm going to leave pretty much alone, even though I think their beliefs are silly. It is the religions that feel it is their duty to proselytize to everyone, everywhere, all the time about how theirs is the One True Faith that make me compelled to explicitly call a Giant Pile of Crap.
