Why have these very annoying fundamentalist Christians taken over my city?
What is so special about their religion that they think they are the "saved people of the last times" and we are the lost ones?
Why do they look at me as an inferior sinner?
Why do fundamentalists always coexist with drunkards and drug addicts?
Why are they so cruel, quick to judge and quick to ostracize?
Why are these old women "full of god" so eager to convert me?
Why are they so sure of themselves?
Why do they speak in exalted platitudes, as if they are members of a special club of saved people and only "insiders" can understand them?
What happens when they awaken in hell and perceive their beliefs of "salvation by believing" were false?
Do they even care about "salvation", or are they only interested in the pretend game of thinking they are just, correct, immaculate and superior?
I am planning to move out of my city soon, perhaps even country, and THEY are one of the main reasons. I just can't stand their arrogance and dominion over many sectors of society. I know that thing about all religions being precious and all that, but these people are not holy at all; they have few useful things to teach, they slave souls with blind fanaticism and threaten with eternal damnation those who don't accept their medieval/primitive village folk beliefs!

Accepted Answer
“It is good for us to have trials and troubles at times, for they often remind us that we are on probation and ought not to hope in any worldly thing. It is good for us sometimes to suffer contradiction, to be misjudged by men even though we do well and mean well. These things help us to be humble and shield us from vainglory. When to all outward appearances men give us no credit, when they do not think well of us, then we are more inclined to seek God Who sees our hearts. Therefore, a man ought to root himself so firmly in God that he will not need the consolations of men.”
