This is from Beliefnet, which is christianity based, right? So the answer is simple: preach the gospel to the telemarketers. It may be the only time they come into contact with a professing christian. If they claim to be christian already, tell them you’ll pray that God will find them a better job. The ones whom I’ve told that to all seem to appreciate it, and I pray with them on the phone right there.

When they get around to saying, “What’s this got to do with aluminum siding (or whatever they’re trying to sell)?” I answer with, “well, siding is important to you, right? And you want it to be important to me. So let’s talk about what is important to me and should be important to you, the disposition of your eternal soul.

I like that, but I’m Jewish and we don’t proselytize. How about if I try to convert them to Druidism?

That's an excellent suggestion, Kevmo!

(By the way, the words "Christianity," "Gospel," and "Christian" should be capitalized, according to the dictionary.)

I'm not even a Christian, but I think that I'll adopt your strategy, praise the Lord!

“So the answer is simple: preach the gospel to the telemarketers.”

Cool idea. Or start singing a hymn. They’ll either be receptive or hang up on YOU.
