Super Christians?

Just out of curiosity, what is the deal with the hardcore super-christians? This isn't limited to the United States, but it seems like the US is the worst country for this. Why is it that everyone is SO concerned with morality...but not necessarily their own? I mean, why go around bashing everyone else's religion or degree of "religiousness" when everyone else's salvation has nothing to do with your own? I mean, who really cares if little Timmy down the street isn't as religious as you are? I'm sure some of the super-christians will say that it's their duty to tell everyone about the word of god, but i'm pretty sure that the way that some of them go about it, jesus is up there saying, "that's not what i meant..."

Update:

No, nobody "has" to do it any more than I "have" to spread the word of the flying spaghetti monster, muhammed, or hello kitty. I don't see why the super christians feel the need to flaunt religion in the faces of those "less pious" than themselves (pertaining to their self-proclaimed piousness). You guys are so concerned with morality...and not necessarily your own, but everyone else's around you.

Update 2:

I think that's probably because when the republicans or democrats call you and ask you to side with them, they don't tell you that if you don't, you're going to spend eternity in hell, begging for jesus' forgiveness...

    I think it lies in the culture of privy information. Those who have the "key" to knowledge are privlidged. This can create a sense of euphoria so it translates to "sharing it with others." Let's face it though...has anyone gotten irritated when Timmy got a new toy and was flaunting it around to everyone? How many times have we been like "and?" Let everyone believe what they want. I like how the Jewish faith works. There aren't missionaries, and its hard enter the domain unless born into.

    First of all, when we get to Heaven, we'll be so awed by the glory of God, we won't have time to stop and look around to see who has what. We'll finally get to look upon the face of our saviour. Secondly, don't you think that you should just be happy to get to heaven?? And who are we to judge on who gets what? The bible says we are joint heirs with Jesus, isn't that something that we all should be rejoicing about?? That Gods son died on the cross to pay for all the sins that we commited? And that we are joint heirs with him? That's like honor above honor! There isn't anything such as a super christian, All God fearing christians have their day. Just because a God fearing christian doesn't lead people to Christ every day doesn't make them less of a Christian. Anyways, God Bless you.

    It's because these people are idiots who don't understand how to show others some freaking civility.

    Instead of putting their energy into real world issues which need addressing, (such as taking care of "God's" planet and creatures!!) they become religious fanatics who impose their beliefs on others...

    The other day I encountered one (a born again), who was a complete nut; a very loud buffoon, and I truly hope for his sake that he had some kind of brains under all that stupidity.

    They're a drain on society and I'm sick of them.

    It is a Christian "duty" to help others understand Christ, but I agree with you, If someone doesn't want to accept Jesus, then that's his thing to deal with. And you should leave him alone. With that said though, I find it interesting that people complain about Christians asking you to accept God but there's not much complaining about the Democratic or Republican party calling / mailing you to side with them. I personally, and this is just me speaking, think that speaks alot about where our ideals and morals stand. We seem to be more wrapped up in what's going to happen now, and not so mush later. This is why I think alot of Christians are "pushing" you to think about Christ

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say "super-Christians", but as one myself I can tell you that it's our duty to tell the world about Jesus and God Almighty. This might sound like real cheesy to you, and no, not every single person will believe this religion in particular the right one, but that doesn't make it wrong to talk and witness about it. We try to save as many people as possible, and do this by telling them about the Lord and witnessing to them.

    Hope it helps

    Maybe it has something to do with the fact that when the Puritans left Europe they all came here?
