I'm referring to fundies. I mean if they're so sure that they're saved and everyone else will go to hell. shouldn't they just shut up and be happy about it? Do fundies really care about your "soul"?

No, they just can't accept the world because their ideas about the world don't match up.
Religious fundies can't accept just being with whatever spiritual gifts they've aquired because of the calling to prostelitize to the unfaithful.
When I was a christian, I believed that my life or rather my day to day was my missionary work, that if people saw the benefit of christian practice within me they themselves would want to practice as well but for most christians it's about harassing you to a point of submission unless you retreat or fight back.

Dear Alisher Y,
I think their is a misunderstanding here.... First, there is no person that can get another person saved! Salvation is completely the work of God (Jesus Christ). The role of a true christian, is to just give the Gospel to people. Whether that person is saved or not is completely the work of the Lord. However, as I have witnessed, many "christians" here on Yahoo are giving a false gospel (Galatians 1). Woa to them that saith, thus saith the Lord and the Lord hath not said! I have listed helps in my references section.
Also, just because a person says they are a "christian" does not mean that they have been born again (Matthew 7:21-23).

The Bible states in John 3:3 Unless a man be born again he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. We Christians don't just shut up and be happy about it because we are commanded to share our faith with others. When we stand before God on Judgment day we will be asked what we have done to further the Kingdom of God. We do this by sharing our faith. That being said I am a firm believer that you shouldn't shove your faith done some ones throat and get a superiority complex about being "saved". I share my faith by the way I live my life and will explain more to people if they want to know. I refuse to force it on people. If you would like to believe that their is no God than that is your choice and I won't mock you for it. I'll just pray for you. Yes we do care about your soul.

I dont learn about the individuals you been chatting with,yet they're incorrect. The Bible says that we cant earn our way into heaven. "For that's through grace you've been kept, through religion--and this no longer from yourselves,that's the present of God--no longer through works,so as that no you would possibly want to advance." (Ephesians 2:8&9) It also says that we could continually be doing the Lord's paintings. that's a blend of both faith & works. the in elementary words thanks to get into heaven is the ABC's of salvation: Admit that we've sinned, believe that Jesus died & 3 days later arose from the grave & now sits @ the right hand of the daddy & that he develop into despatched to maintain us from our sins,Confess our sins to God. Then we w/ God's help we may be able to stay the existence God has planned for us. As for the abortion section uncommon yet legal.There some circumstances that warrant an abortion. we favor to have an intensive, own relationship w/ God. It takes fairly some paintings like all different relationship even with the indisputable fact that that's truly worth it!!! genuine Christians aren't any further Obsessed w/ punishment!!!

First off, no one will get to the kingdom of God unless he is born again John 3:3. I am a christian and I do not shove my faith down any ones throat. Do I care about your soul? Yes, I do. Just merely believing that God exists is not going to get you to heaven. Just being a "good" person is not going to get you to heaven. In order to be saved no one can save you only Jesus can save you. I pray for people that they will confess that Jesus is the Son of God and that he died for our sins and he arose 3 days later. If you do not believe in God that is your choice I am not one to force you into believing the way I believe. That is why we have a freedom of religion. And what do you mean by fundies? I know I am going to get to heaven but are you?

Though it may not be to you, where a Christian plans to spend eternity is a big deal. And since we truly believe Jesus has the answer, it is truly hate full for us to selfishly keep this to ourselves.
But, if someone is not open to hearing these truths, we do more harm than good if we shove it down the throats of others.
Because maybe you do not believe there is anything on the other side of a physical death at all...just nothingness. But when you find out that not to be the case, I do not want it to be my fault for not telling you: let it be your fault for refusing to acknowledge the truth.
It is kind of like if you had something that would greatly improve your life, besides making it longer. And best of all, it was free. Wouldn't you want to share it with as many people you could? (Except for those you did not like, and wanted them to die soon anyway.)
That's kinda like what it is like being a Christian--only we even try to help those we do not like--or at least are supposed to.

Jesus last command was to go into all the World and Preach the Gospel (good news that Mankind can be Saved through Jesus).
You only have to hear that Message Once, to be held Accountable for it by GOD.

It's nearly impossible to keep such good news to oneself. I don't walk around grabbing people and telling them about Jesus, I think that would be rude. But I do love coming on yahoo answers and sharing my experience and my relationship with Jesus Christ, what I have learned from studying the bible. I do that in answering questions.
Yes I do care about others' souls. But I will not force this information on those who do not want to hear it.

b/c they want everyone to get into heaven, just like them! :)salvation is your ticket to heaven, and being saved defines you as a christian. god calls us to spread his word - the good news that you can get into heaven too if you are saved.

the reason they talk so much about it is because since they think they are such "GOOD" people, it is their responsibilty to tell everyone else how they can be "SAVED" as well.
