That is not what religious proselytizers say...none of them. They try to convince you that their way of belief is the only way, and that you need to join them. The message of love is almost never mentioned. Perhaps at your young age you've never been aggressively approached by dozens of different persuasions of believers over a period of several years, but once you're an adult you will find all types of people trying to convince you that your way is wrong and their way is right.

To be honest, I sympathize with them up to a point, since if you truly believe that not believing as you do results in a quick trip to hell then you want to save as many people from that fate as you can, but it does get old after awhile.
