Hi,

They really believe in their values.  I don't personally agree with it (children SHOULD play when they want to - they don't know or care whether its a Friday or Sunday after all). 

In England (where these people knock on your door and try to convert you) in Holland they don't - they keep themsevles to themselves - so, as a result, are ignored by the general population!!
