I hate when people try to give me shit about my "foul" language, telling me I can't say wtf i want because they don't wanna hear it, but when I tell Christians and Jehovah's witnesses I don't wanna hear their crap suddenly I'm the bad guy

Well there are some times and places where it's just not acceptable to swear, and if you must, generally it's a good idea to refrain from using words that would offend a lot of people. You talk however you want, you will get the consequences. Welcome to life.
On the other hand, I think it's perfectly acceptable to cuss out someone who's trying to sell you religion. I don't try to sell people Jesus because I respect other's beliefs. I make my beliefs very obvious and am open to discussing, but I don't ever try to convert (unless I'm in a conversion-specific environment, such as a church camp) because it's just not polite. It's not nice to, but is incredibly satisfying to use impoliteness to react to impoliteness. Even if your religion says you have to sell people religion, such as those annoyingashell Jehovas and Mormons going around all the time, it's still not polite.
Damn...40 weeks later...
Explain to me why? There's a huge difference between informing and selling. I will inform you that I am a nondenominational Christian and that Jesus is good to me and that I believe that I've been granted a good life and will be blessed with future goodness. I'm not going to preach to you, try and get you to join my church (or even be Christian) or any of that stuff. I have no problems with Jehovas and Mormons as a religion or as people, I have a problem when they try to make me change. They're not even telling me that I'm wrong or they're right, it just pisses me off that they're trying to change my opinion on something there is absolutely no evidence for or against.
Yeah that, but some people don't get your polite insinuations. Perhaps I worded myself badly, the door-knockers are always pretty good about not being too pushy. It's the ones who just come up to you on the street that are pretty bad. Ask them to leave, tell them to leave, then make yourself so unpleasant that they have to leave out of sheer discomfort.
