Right, please tell me. Is this just a meme thing or do people actually knock on other people’s doors to try to convert them to their religion?

And does this only happen, bizarrely, in the country with the highest number of gun-owning cowards?

It just seems such an odd combination

Jehovas witnesses knocking on doors is an absolutely known thing in Germany.

    And in Sweden.
    
    Fun fact, their meeting places, "Kingdom hall"s are translated “Rikets Sal”. On more than one occasion the letters in their signs have been rearranged over night to “skitarsle”, roughly “poopybutt” :D

    Though they usually just send letters these days, I was taken aback when an in-the-flesh god-botherer knocked on the other day

Ever heard of Jehovah’s witnesses? Or Mormons going on their mission? They aren’t constant here, but they are definitely a thing in the Netherlands.

It does. It got to the point I explained the concept of trial by combat to them, and said if they really believed, they would fight me-me armed them not.

Never worked.

So I got a grab bag of cheap sex toys to keep by the door the moment I got my first place (was homeless when I turned 18) and ‘would you like to talk about Jesus’ became ‘trick or treat’.

Nope. I’m in Canada and it happens here too.

New Zealand here, I've only had it once in the last 5 years and it was awesome, they turned out to be from a doomsday cult that believes God is a living Korean woman or something like that.
