First, I was being facetious. The "God bless 'em" part should have been a tip-off. Who talks like that in real life except Baptist looneys?
And as a Catholic, I've been on the same end of those conversations with Southern Baptists as you have.
As for threatening you: well, that's a bit dramatic, isn't it? Did someone say that they were going to kill you?
Or did someone WARN you of the judgment that God will pass on all of us - Christian and non-Christian alike?
If it was a warning, then yeah, they did mean well even if you took it badly.
A warning? If a statement includes the words 'unless you do' this or that, it's a threat. Especially if the result of 'unless' is death and eternal torture. It matters very little if the threat is by proxy or not.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
