Why are people like this?

To be fair, most pastors are not anywhere near like the former. At least that's been my personal experience. I've visited hundreds of churches over the years and far more are like the latter than the former. It wasn't always that way, but pastors and ministers have changed their approach over the years. There no doubt are more than a few stuck in the past, but most have adapted to today's culture and challenges. It also varies by denomination. Some are more current than others.
i sure hope so. that fire and brimestone stuff is for the birds. but its nice to know it has changed mostly.
