The "you're just bitter" line is textbook, stale and predictable.

Is someone has strong beliefs, but tries to state them as politely as possible, I don't think it's fair to project the maliciousness of others onto them.

The end result of the line of thought is the same and we all know it: Don't spoon or wear shorts, or you'll split hell wide open, you heathen! If a person can refrain from making such offensive statements, though, even if they think it...I think it deserves at least a couple of brownie points.

There are people who actually fear that others WILL go to hell if they do certain things. They feel an obligation to speak out because of their concern. It isn't always malicious and shouldn't be characterized that way every time.
