Well, I always tell missionaries knocking on my door: you are telling me that I could be a murderer, a liar, a thief, an adulterer, an overall horrible person, so long as I sincerely repent before I die and accept Jesus into my heart, and I will go to heaven? How is that more moral than being an atheist who is an overall good person?

My grandfather, atheist for all my life, always invited the missionaries in to talk. When I asked him why he said they are good helpers and you just have to act like you are curious about what they want to say and they will do all your chores while they tell you about Jesus.
