I am surprised no one has mentioned the REAL reason someone just comes, randomly and tells us about the Word… Money. The more saps who join their “religion”, the more money they generate. Pure and simple, religion is BIG BUSINESS.

Personally I think they do it because they literally fear that if they don’t then they will be held accountable for the people they believe are going to Hell and of those that they believe will go to Hell, they also believe that because of their failure to “preach the word” effectively, they will also go to Hell.

Whether or not it is truly selfish is debatable (speaking of course of regular people who are not sitting in front of a podium preaching their version of salvation) but I can imagine that while they are in church being told how horrible their next destination is (believing every bit of it of course), they walk outside and are possibly overcome by irrational fear that all those people are going to Hell and well… you simply have to “save” them.

I am also very immature at times when it comes to certain things that oober religious knuckleheads say that are so far from reality that I consider any response to be immature. I honestly don’t know how to be mature when someone says that their specialized long johns will keep them pure.

“why in the world would someone just come, randomly and tell you about the word? It just doesn’t make sense.”

Because they believe, usually without one bit of evidence that 1) they are right and 2) it is the moral thing to do.

Most of the harm in the world is done by those that believe they are doing good.
