But I already knew that you believed that. I don't particularly care whether you think you'll be judged or I'll be judged. I believe that notion is as ridiculous as Jonah and the whale or Jesus walking on water. That wasn't the point.
The point was you vehemently denying (and even accusing me of having a dark and twisted mind to suggest) that fear and threats are used in service of the church as part of doctrine.

"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
