Why are Christians obsessed with saving souls?
Seriously, they want to save everyone who is non-christian, why? surely Christianity can't be the only way to be paradise. If so then it makes it sound self-centered and vain. But I know that not many Christians don't mean any harm, sure they want to spread the gospel and the joy, just that it sounds un-progressive, pathetic, close-minded and self-serving.
Christians; if it is God's command, let that be a job for the saints, you know; elderly men with beards and women with headscarves.
Let the Saints do the converting, the elderly and bearded and robed men of holiness, and women with long hair and with headscarves. Those are real saints to me, not ordinary bible-thumpers with shaved faces and pants
@God of my Salvation; perhaps in the Protestant faith but not in older faiths like Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Saints are hermits and have long hair

Their not, they think they are, but by enforcing their religion. They need more "saving" then most people

Because we know that some day you are going to leave your earthly body
and your eternal soul is going to go either to a wonderful heaven or to a
horrible hell. We want you to go to heaven and not suffer in hell That's why.
Another thing, saints are not determined by your definition but by the bible.
The bible says that anyone that accepts Jesus Christ as their Savior is
considered a saint. So any Christian (not Catholic) that speaks about
saving souls, is a saint, no matter their age or appearance.

People who do not have the confidence in their faith are not comfortable with others having a faith that is different. It's easier to show hatred and fear than try to at least understand (not convert) another's faith. I wear a headscarf and do NOT force others to believe as I do. Freedom of Religion..I know I read that somewhere!

We can save no one! We can only tell one about our own relation With Jesus. Jesus does the saving. Provided the person listens to us. Jesus Christ came to this Earth, God in the Flesh, Our Creator, to die for our sins. So if you believe in HIM? You will not perish. But have everlasting life.
God Bless Ya,

For the very same reason I would yell "BUS!!" if you were about to be hit by a bus. Yes I am close-minded, pathetic, bigoted and GOD serving.

There are no saints to do it, the Lord commands everyone of His people to do it.
