Almost universally, this is meant as someone who is bothering people about god, like jehova’s whiteness knocking on your door, or wandering mormons inviting you to their church.

This issue is described by Poe’s law.

Also, nothing electronic implements the various suggestions on irony punctuation.

I’m saving and planning to pay a $900 electricity bill in August.
