Whoa! WHoa! Easy. Let's not start condemning anyone.
For Mormons and Muslims, it's easy. If they came to you, presenting their beliefs in hopes that you would change, you might be antagonistic too.
As for gays, consider this. Most churches have not treated gays well, with the respect and love they need. While the act itself is indeed a sin (this has been debated but I'm still skeptical and don't see the problem with it being a sin), one must understand that anyone's sexual orientation is a major part of their life and not something to be taken lightly or something that can be changed easily. You can't bible-thump someone and hope that they will change especially when they are in a close relationship with their partner. To them, it'll be like betraying their best friend.
The greatest thing any Christian can and should do is to love them like Jesus did. It's up to them to respond how they should. Your job is to shine, not save.

No one is mean in the Kingdom of God. It is the evil which penetrates in the hearts of sinners and they start thinking others as mean!
No one ( NONE ) can save us on the day of Jedgement if we indulge in SINS! Even Moses and Jesus would be helpless for the Disobedients of God.
Crusifiction is not a valid excuse for sinners.
Jesus already informed " Do not give bad names to your brother" - don't say Fool to your brother ??

well just as much as you are convinced that jesus and christianity is your source for eternal happiness and life... you would probably get offended, had i told you that you were a fool.
but i don't tell you that.
try to be a little bit more understanding and accepting that not everyone thinks and has the same ideals exactly as you do. and that doesn't make them an immoral or bad person for doing so.

Well maybe some of them are not religious. Maybe long ago they reached the conclusion that death was death and that adherence to a fable under the belief that it was the truth instead of the credulous and childish tendencies of man was going to limit their appreciation and their expression of life and their striving for happiness. Maybe some of them believe religiously that an appreciation of God, or the awesome mystery of it all, could not be reduced to a storybook.

Maybe because they're fed up of you lot spreading you bollocks and ramming it in peoples faces. Mormons, muslims and most gay people don't believe in your cult. So, believe in what you want just don't expect everyone else to bow down to you

It's not just those groups that get mean. I do too. and I'm not any of the above. Jesus may love me, but I don't need his help to save me from sin. I might want to sin.
Besides why are you telling anyone that Jesus will save them from sin, how do you know that he will?
Are you his agent?

probably the same reason you'd have if a gay said he loved you and could save you
the same goes for Mormons and Muslims

I'm neither of the above, but when I want to hear a fairy tale I'll ask for it. I don't like getting it stuffed through my throat.
