“God is love.”—1 John 4:16
Saul was a very religious man. He belonged to a religious group called the Pharisees.
Important FACT : They had God’s Word, but they paid more attention to the teachings of some of their own leaders. Saul had grown up as a Pharisee. All his life he had been taught that they were right. He looked to these men for his example. So he copied them. Saul wanted to get rid of the rest of Jesus’ disciples. Acts 9:1-22.
Saul is know known as apostle Paul. There are many people today who are like Saul. They can change, but it is not easy.

Saul was converted and baptized, so he stopped being bad

Not sure what you are trying to say. My guess is that some people interpret Bible with his own interest or believe such as there are people believe that there is no miracle so they don't believe Moses and the Red Sea story. Hence they don't believe Jesus, son of God had come to this world in a human form. It is like they pick what they believe in the Bible. In Saul case, he chose not to believe until he saw Jesus himself. Yes, change needs courage because it means we have to admit that what we believe in the past is wrong. But if you see the truth like Saul - Jesus is the Lord. You can also be Paul.

All religions do not respect God or the bible.
We are not supposed to follow Paul or Saul.

You are right in that many people are raised in a home with a different view on race, religion, and values. That is why it is the Christians responsibility to live as Jesus taught. If we do, we will be extending love and service to everyone and then they will want to be part of that circle, too. You also right in that it is not easy and it takes time. Just remember people are always watching you to see how you are living, believing and acting. It may determine someone's decision to change.

If you bothered to read the Bible thoroughly you would know that Saul was converted after being struck down on the road to Damascus.

Which religion claims to put faith in scripture. None do, and few even pretend to. If they did, they would worship YHVH (the Almighty one, called by His real name, See Ex. 23:13) on Saturday, the seventh day, which is the day He set apart as special. I believe those two simple yardsticks make it plain that no group is truly following scripture!

Many religions believe in God but do not accept that the Bible is the direct revelation of the existing intelligence or consiousness that is prescriptively and permissively directing the course of humans through their choices.

What others are saying is true. Very few religions believe in the same God Christianity does and even less use the same Bible.

All religions don't believe in God, and respect the bible. Only Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and other forms of the religions respect the Bible. Buddhism doesn't believe in God.

One can be seriously a religious nut.
One can be a true real Christian.....this is the one who chooses to believe God and then does something about it according to His Word the Bible.
Even the devil knows there is a God.
Love does not set still. Love is something you do.
