There are none so deluded as those surrounded by 'Yes-men', except those who choose to follow them.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1Cor 2:14)
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2Cor 4:3-4)
My friend, every one of us was as you are now. None of us are any better than you are. But we pray for you and try to reach you, because we know that you are going to go to hell when you die. And we don't want you to go to hell. God doesn't want you to go to hell.
The difference with us is that we took the gift that God has freely given us, and you have not. We are now God's children, whereas before we were not. We didn't pit our own self-righteousness against God's righteousness: we admitted that we are sinners. And we are depending on God's righteousness all tied up in a bloody cross at Calvary.
Why do you call us "scum"? I really don't know. But Jesus Christ said that the world would hate us because it hated him first.
The truth is, like every unregenerate sinner, the devil has a claim on your soul and he has a legal right to make you spiritually blind.
The lake of fire is at the end of a Christ-rejecting life. We were told to "go" and make disciples, and save as many people as possible from that horrible fate.
But if you insist, we don't claim any right to force you. World events now concerning Israel are so hot that the Rapture of the church could seriously hit any day now. We'll be gone, leaving all our clothes in piles on the floor. There's some thought that we'll leave our blood behind also. The sudden absense of 180 lbs of body mass will cause the surrounding air pressure to "slap" into the void, splattering the blood as it falls to the floor soaking the clothes and shoes. It could well be a very bloody mess. And you'll be afraid, very afraid, when you see that it was real and you missed it.
And you cannot imagine how terrifying that final seven years is going to be. God's wrath has been piling up for 20 centuries, and it's all going to come out in those seven years.
The church age will be over. Getting saved in the tribulation will be much more difficult, if you survive.
But for now, until that happens, we're still under grace. You can get saved right now, this very minute, and you'll be safe forever, guaranteed. Once you die in your sins, you burn, and there is no second chance.
Now what kind of a friend would be so cowardly as to not try to warn you of such a dreadful thing?

There will be a day when all the world will be Christian and those that will not believe will burn in everlasting fire. This fire will be knowing that they could have had a glorious eternity but chose not to. I hope you change your heart before it is to late for you. It is your choice and God will never force you to believe in or worship him. Either you follow the Lord or the Devil, there is no in-between or no other choice. Take your pick, as for me I will follow the Lord.

not until the world is rid of all other kinds of people.
perhaps a better question is why you have singled them out when there are plenty of crazy people in this world.
