why can't we simply get along without trying to convert others to our own beliefs?
why simply sharing experiences isn't enough?
why does belief system is so important to be preached about?
are you missing anything in life?
if you feel faith in afterlife is important in your current life and makes significant impact on it - i can respect that, why do you think i need same faith as you?
am i less human than you if i don't share your faith although i don't intentionally hurt anybody?
is my faith a valuable commodity or a private matter?
how did knowledge of hell and devil came about?;)

A huge part of modern Christianity is the belief that Jesus instructed them to go out and convert/save people. It is believed to be a requirement to be Evangelical. To NOT spread the word to those who 'need it' would be sinful and not properly glorifying Him
it also makes huge bundles of tax free cash... God likes peeps to give up the funds
