I tend to take it as it's meant: whether we find it ridiculous or not- and I do- it's still clearly a threat or an insult. Childish and eye-rollingly insipid as it is, there's no way to interpret it so that the person saying it has good intentions toward us.

I know the words are silly, but the words aren't the things that are going to inform the actions of the person saying them; the sentiment behind them is. At the very least, every threat of hell is coming from a person who is currently being a dick.
