We're on the Do Not Call list, but non-profits and religious groups can call. I don't mind when the blood bank calls, or other non-profits like that (Even though they're basically saying "Ve vant your blood!!"). A Jehovah's Witness called yesterday though, and I was pretty surprised. Maybe they do not go door-to-door anymore?

Anyway, I don't appreciate being preached to over the phone by strangers. I said no to the free Bible, as I don't want to give out any addresses. I said simply, "I'm going to save us both some time and hang up. You have a nice day."

I love Bungleau's suggestions. They should come on a cue-card with every phone purchased, but I can't think to do anything but play defense when someone catches me off guard like that.
