This extreme position is often taken by very immature Christians who have completely missed the message of Christ and instead have taken it upon themselves to be the judge, jury and convictor. This "hellfire and damnation" approach of instilling fear into others is not the message of Christ, as his was of acceptance and unconditional love. That is afterall why God created us, not because he needs us to love him or to fullfill some egotistical desire he has, but so that we can experience love itself, afterall, God is love. It's not our duty to condemn others, it's our duty to open our arms and accept them for who they are.
