How is their calendar different from any other calendar you would buy? Don't say you're not interested, because you'll need a 2004 calendar. Just tell them its too early. Don't be rude to kids being misused by their handlers.

Dude, their kids. Don't be the atheist boogy man who scars them for life.

What's so special about the "Christian calendars" other than where the profits are going?
"Hi there, would you like to have a cookie?"

Christian calenders tend to have all kinds of Bible verses and shit like that on them. If they (the kids) believe it's right, than there's nothing wrong with them selling 'em.

What I think is wrong is trying to shove the religion down people's throats, but even that isn't really bad. If someone can sell cookies door-to-door, others can sell calenders the same way. In this case, it doesn't sound like you are even getting it shoved down you throat. The kid asks if you want to buy a calender, you say "no". Same thing you do with telemarketers or door-to-door salesmen. Nothing wrong with it, as long as the local laws don't prohibit it. Sure, you might not agree with the message in the thing being sold, all you have to do is not buy it...
