I have a friend who is a hard-core Southern Baptist, and he explained it this way:
It is his job, as a good Christian, to save others by teaching them this Christian way.
Yes, it is DUMB! It is also pretty contradictory. As a Christian, you're not supposed to be judgemental, yet you HAVE to judge that others are WRONG because they don't view religion the same way you do.
I personally can't stand people who try to preach to me. I can respect the beliefs of others if they will do the same for me.
