To christians that try to convert people ( on the street , door to door etc )
Im a white Hindu so it seems to me Im always getting stopped by someone from one church or another ...
Im usually more than happy to share opinions / beliefs etc but I was just wondering if there is anything one thing a person/ people could say to you when your out witnessing (?) that would stop you from persuing a conversation dead in its tracks or from talking to them further ?
The reason i ask is because as a Hare Krishna devotee im often go handing out books and leaflets etc .. but if someone tells me ''no '' or no bacause they are a muslim/christian / jew etc i leave them alone and dont try to talk to them any more
but christians dont seem to do this -- telling you guys im a Hindu or I used to be a christian seems to make you try to talk to me more not less ...
Im not trying to be nasty or anything - im just curious and wondering where you guys draw the line with this kind of thing ?
hope that makes sense -its difficult to explain what i mean without comming across as rude

Youd wait until it gets heated before backing off? Isnt it better to just hand them a leaflet and leave them with a nice impression of a christian than to let them go feeling mad or upset and maybe with a bad impression of your faith?
