From what I know It's because their belief in god is so strong the idea that god exists becomes a fact rather than a simple belief. So because it's so obvious to them and it makes them feel great about themselves. Therefore they wonder how you can live without such bliss.
Then there's the idea of hell and the lack of belief rubbish. Also the concept of an afterlife tends to give them a point or a purpose because life is a 'test' to them.
long story short "god makes me happy why doesn't he make you happy? oh and you might go to hell if don't  "
I'll probably get criticised by someone but that's what I've heard and even partially felt when I was religious. |
Quite frankly I normally feel you deserve the critisism your posts attract, but this is actually one spot. Evagellists only bother you because God makes them happy. It's no different than a friend recomending a band to you that they really enjoy but you've heard of before and hate.
Of course once the threat of hell in invovled or violence/harassment it's no longer out of the kindness of one's heart and completely uncalled for.
Anyhow, I think everyone should keep their beliefs to themselves because it's not your concern to disrupt others with you idea of which religion is best.
