Talking to Strangers

So something happened tonight that really bothered me. Although I am a Christian, I don't believe in knocking on every ones' door to tell them what to believe in. We just had these two women come by at 7pm (dinner time) and wanted to talk about religion. Now I usually just say I already go to a church and I am happy there. Well, my husband decides to close the door and have this conversation with them for over 30 minutes. Now that is long for him because he usually doesn't listen to stuff like that, especially to strangers knocking at the door at 7pm. So my son who goes to bed at 7:30 is waiting for him to come back in and pray with him, which is their nightly thing. As my son is waiting, I am in the shower hoping that when I come back out, my son will be already off to sleep. If he doesn't get his sleep, the mornings are not nice for me. So I am very strict on him going to bed on time. I come out of the shower and my son is clapping and singing. By now, I am furious. I tell my son to go open the door and say, "Excuse me but daddy I need you to pray with me because it is time for bed." My son comes back to me and says that his daddy told him to hold on and that he will be there soon. It was 15 minutes before he came in and as he came in he says, "uhhh" like he hated the fact that he was out there talking to them. If he really didn't want to hear it, trust me, he would have made it known and would have closed the door on them. BUT he did not. He stayed out there and talked and talked and listened to them go on and on about how we need to be baptised (which we already are). And he even made them laugh which he rarely even does with me because he is always serious. I know what you are thinking and no they were not young hot girls. The women could have been his mother. So it wasn't that. It's just not right to go knocking on people's door and making them feel uncomfortable and obligated to hear what you think. So what if I didn't agree and what if I don't want to hear it. Its a choice and that's why there are churches out there. Isn't it suppose to be a choice people! If I want to hear about God then I go to church. I don't go talking to strangers about my believe because that is between me and God. Now if someone is lost and want to learn about God then usually people know to go to church. I really don't need anyone knocking at my door telling me I will go to hell if I am not baptized. What is that? That is not choice. Now that is just straight scaring people into believing that our God is a mean. He is not a mean God. He wants us to choose for ourselves and make our own decisions. I need one of those signs to hang up for no solicitors. Maybe that will keep them away. It just frustrates me that he can have such a personal and deep religious conversation with strangers and not with me. That really hurts and makes me pissed. So I told him off when he came in and he said he would take care of my son so he wont be a problem for me. He didn't even get the point of it. I just don't get it. I just don't understand him. Why did he do it? Why did he even stay out there for so long? I know I am rambling on but I just don't know anymore. Does that make my marriage a bad one because he rather talk to strangers then to me? Does that mean he doesn't love me? Maybe I am taking it out of proportion but I am just trying to understand him. He tells me that he doesn't want my son going to bed later than 7:30 and that he had lots of work to do tonight and then he takes all that time to talk to strangers then go pray with his son. What is that? Why? I am just so disturbed by his actions right now that I want to scream. My night is ruined and I am now depressed and am going to go cry it out.
