hypothetical situation

So say that you're just walking along, minding your own business, and someone that you don't really even know comes up and is like, "I know this guy who is madly in love with you" and you're just like, WTF? And other people that you talk to are like "yeah, he's a lot older, but he knows absolutely everything about you and loves you beyond all reason and he was really hoping that you'd be willing to get to know him and maybe have him in your life. Forever."
Would this not be creepy?
And say that then more people were like, "he loves you so much and accepts everything about you and all he wants is for you to just love him back, unconditionally and for all eternity. Oh, and if you don't, he has said that you will basically suffer unimaginable torment by fire forever."
At this point I would think that a rational person would be getting a restraining order, and yet there are millions of people who subscribe to this totally bizarre notion and insist on being that initial unknown person: "Hi, you don't know me, but God really loves you and was hoping that you guys could become one and be together always and that you would do everything in the light of whether or not it would please him." Why the hell is this an acceptable thing to propose to someone? I suspect it has mostly to do with the fact that everyone is raised with some notion of this omnipotent God and so hearing about him is treated and dealt with in an entirely separate manner than anything else. I don't really have any further point; I was just thinking about it is all.
