As i said i totally agree. Shoving islam in everyones face is counter-productive , as proven in your case. The Lord says preach with tact and a sweet/persuasive/non-condemning tone. Most of the preachers slept through that class.
Give people glad tidings for the good they do and warn them from doing evil. Majority of preachers skip the glad tidings part. Its all doom and gloom. This is totally wrong.
Though music is haram if we consider Islamic law. The punishment described is authentic based in Hadith.
But to just flat out tell someone they are going to hell is not the way to preach. Every real learned scholar i ve heard/ read/seen uses a polite tone and a way of acheiving common ground then delivering the islamic point of view . i would urge you not to listen to what your heart says alone. But study Islam yourself. Read authentic Islamic texts. You will learn to love the religion . I ve read both Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim (the two most authentic texts on Hadith) as well as tranlation/interpretations of the Quran. i found them immensly simple in their meaning and fulfilling. Yes , there are things which Islam prohibits. We must obey those laws for our own good . Even in worldly matters, why do you obey laws? Why not listen to your heart and for example slam your car into a motorcyclist blocking your way on the road? Why? Because its wrong and unlawful. Islamic laws are the same , their reasoning both logical and in the interest of the follower , if you study them.
As i said earlier my posts were merely conveying what Islam says on the issue. I m not forcing anyone to anything. You may draw your own conclusions.

I strongly agree with u bro
But a wise guy observers a debate looks at the general condition of the people n if the souls could be salvaged only then he starts his sermon n again he has to be a perfect example of what he is saying, just like I personally can't start a sermon on saying regular prayers or any other fundamental principle unless I'm not a true practitioner
On a highway we see many sign boards, they r there to indicate something show us the way, its our choice whether to obey them or not they don't fly n slam into our face, they have done their job n we will realize we missed the right signboard when we will reach a destination n ascertain we have gone a wrong way
I'm sure everyone does face such realization when he gets to a wrong point at a right time in his life just let him flow don't force to change his way
Saying ull goto hell in polite or harsh tone means same, why convince someone with terrorizing words when he will be convinced someday when he will be of right age n wisdom
Even God doesn't slap us on a wrong doing, He let us be as we r n someday we do realize our mistakes partially or completely
May we get a right direction sooner than our foretold time!
