How do you feel when someone directly tells you ...
that you're going to Hell?

It seems that a lot of people - even many atheists apparently - find it very deeply offensive when they get told by someone that they're gonna go to Hell, that they will burn there for eternity. Sometimes my mother also tells me the same thing when I disobey her, and then automatically my inside crawls and my bodily functions almost go amiss from the surge of emotions that strike me afterwards. It kind of pisses me off and yet at the same time it frightens me also (plus some other emotions that I just have no words for). I guess I can't really put into words how it feels ...

What about the rest of you? How much does it offend you when someone tells or implies to you that you're going to Hell?
