Logically I’m aware that the fifty thousand people in my notes all making the same joke are mostly harmless but also there’s a reason that water slowly dripping onto your head is a valid form of torture.

Which is why it’s important to not be mean.
Their cult teaches them that the world is full of scary monster people who hate them for being so good and loved by god. If you swear at them and call them names or get in their face you’re just doing the cults work for it.
I’m not saying you have to listen to their presentation or try to debate them (and really getting into a debate without thoroughly understanding what they’re being taught will just make things worse)… I am just saying to be polite and say no thank you like if they were trying to hand you a flyer for something you don’t care about.
It’s easier for them to see the world outside their bubble as less scary if they see everyday people just going about their business and being as nice to them as you are to everyone else. This goes doubly for anyone who happens to dress modestly, not swear, and not drink or smoke because whatever you believe, they’ll see you as a “good” person who happens to strangely have no interest in their “message”, and that might be enough to get some curious about the possibility of themselves living in the real world.
It’s sometimes hard to be nice to people who seem to represent something you dislike. Just remember these “elders” are sheltered young men, some of which are getting their first real contact with people of other/no faiths.
They are not your enemy. They are victims.
They aren't being sent out to actually convert people, they are being sent out hoping that they will be harassed and treated poorly so they view those outside the cult as dangerous and evil and stick to the safety of the familiar group.
You being mean to some teenager isn't sticking it to anyone, you're doing exactly what their church elders want to happen.

[image id: screenshot of a tweet saying "What do you mean carpet is killing people? carpet can't-". the image attached is a photo of stairs going downwards, with striped patterns on them. because there are multiple different stripe patterns next to each other, it is hard to determine where a step starts and where the step ends. /end id]

Instead of doing the art rec that I JUST asked for, I drew this
Based off of this Pinterest comment about some fan art which I was unable to find the source of.
A friend of mine bought a house that hasn't been updated all that much since it was built in the 1950s, and it still has one light switch that's 125% the size of modern ones and you have to push it really hard and instead of a little click it goes THUNK when the lights go on and it's SO SATISFYING.
