I'm pondering if Christians who are preaching "Good news" being genuine. According to this "good news", you are trying to save unbelievers from fiery hell. Bible told you to spread the news, to keep you from hell.
Let me ask you this, do you really care if unbelievers are saved? Or you do only care that by spreading "good news" You are reserving place in Heaven for yourself?
Don't tell me there is no "bonus" to you for preaching. I would call this act selfish.
I always say preaching by any religious group is buying a front row seat in 'heaven'...it's all about doing for themselves, another thing they don't like to hear, but the truth nonetheless. At the end of the line is a spot in that place they call heaven...like a prize for those who sell the most candybars
If anyone has read any of my posts, there is no doubt that I'm as atheist as they come. lol
However, I think you're off a little. There is no quota for canvassing Christians and I honestly, honestly believe they do care, and aren't simply witnessing to save their own hides, so to speak.
That brings us to our next issue, that being that they are ultimately and utterly delusional about the realities of life. It's scary how scared and gullible they are, but I genuinely believe they're trying to do the right thing - they simply don't know what the right thing is.
If you saw a person drowning, would you not try to rescue them? I'll only speak for myself, but I believe the future is grim for those who reject Christ. It's not only my duty (Matthew 28:19), but I want others to be saved from the judgement ahead. It may be difficult for you to believe, but many Christians actually do care.

See, I stand by my earlier post.
They truly do care. They believe we're going to perish and burn, and they care.
But they sure are delusional and out of touch with reality -- scared, naive, and gullible individuals.

But we don't think we need to be saved. I certainly dont, I live a more honest life than most of the Christians I know. If we want to be saved we will yell for help.

You bring up another point. It's our duty as Christians to spread the gospel message. The results are up to God (or from your perspective, you).
I find it interesting that you compare yourself to Christians. Why?

You're argument is inherently flawed from the begining.
Certainly you believe that people "must" by saved, but why?
What about all those people who lived before your religion, and that of your parent religion, were developed? Are all those millions of people unsaved and doomed to your hell?
What about the two thirds of the global population that do not look to your Christ today?
Do we get "freebies"?
