Or else?

I am not unaware that I can be one
irritating son of a bitch when I put my mind to it.
(MacBitseach is Irish Gaelic for son of a bitch.)
So, when street preachers tell me, "You should accept Christ as your saviour," I'm going to finish their sentences with, "Or else?"
It never goes as well as this but it would be nice if it was something like this...

"You should accept Christ as your saviour."
"Or else?"
"Excuse me?"
"You said I should accept Christ as my saviour. I asked if that was a threat."
"No! It wasn't a threat!"
"Ah! Good! Now what happens if I don't accept Christ as my saviour?"
"But you must! You'll go to hell if you refuse Christ!"
"So it was a threat?"
"No! Christ loves you! Just take him into your heart!"
"Or else?"
"No! Not or else! Christ is all about love! Just love him back!"
"Or else?"
"There's no or else! Just love!"
"And I go to Hell if I don't love him back? That doesn't sound like a healthy relationship!"
"You're a sinner, aren't you?"
"Wasn't I born a sinner?"
"Yes, but you can change! Just accept Christ!"
"Or else?"
"Look. You're starting to bug me."
"So what? You have to forgive me. Jesus said so!"
"Do not use Jesus' words against me!"
"Or else?"
"Oh fuck off!"
"Or else?"
"Stop talking to me!"
"Or else?"
"I'm leaving."
"Good! I didn't want to be threatened by a sanctimonious Jesus freak in the first place!"
"I didn't threaten you!"
"No, Jesus did!"
"Jesus did not threaten you! He loves you!"
"He loves me so much he's going to send me to Hell!"
"YOU are sending yourself to Hell! All you have to do is follow Him!"
"Or else?"
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!"
"Or else?"
"YES! OR ELSE!"
"If you didn't want to talk to me about Jesus, why did you stop me on the street?"
"I just... just leave me alone."
"Or else?"
"Please?"
"No. You stopped me... you interrupted my life to preach your bullshit and I beat you at your own game. YOU walk away!"
...
"Fine."

As he was walking away, I'd dance a little jig.
