Just got a knock on my door...

It was two sisters from the LDS Church, on a Mission. They knocked on the door, I explained to them very calmly and politely that I do not believe in the same things that they believe in, and handed them both two plastic cups with ice, and poured them each a glass of water from a large water bottle I had not yet opened. I gave the rest to them to take to their next house and wished them well on their journeys. They thanked me for the water, they thanked me for my time, and they wished me a good evening. It was very friendly.

I try to be a nice person. I'm also an Atheist. Just because our beliefs don't match, doesn't mean we have any reason to be less civil to each other. I'm pretty satisfied with my meeting with the Mormons today. How do you treat people that are inordinately opposed to your own beliefs? How do they treat you?
