If you're an agnostic Christian theist then yes. If you're purely agnostic then no, sorry. Ok, ok, you can if you WANT.

Sure! It makes for a great joke! Honestly presented as an agnostic? I can hear it now:
Well, if there happens to be a hell, then you're going for sure, pal!!
It might not mean anything at all whatsoever, but DAMN YOU!
Of course, half the fun of these activities is not an honest portrayal of agnosticism, but using superior knowledge of other religions against themselves. See, I expect agnosticis to be INFORMED, which means you know how to damn or condemn someone in terms of their own belief system. Of course, that involves not telling someone that you're an agnostic, but they were going to give you hell for being an agnostic anyhow if you told, so I say screw telling them!
Maybe that's the secret bonus of being agnostic... No. No. You could do that as an atheist too... Bummer. Nope. I don't see any benefits of me being an agnostic other than being a bonehead about admitting that I really don't know much of whether there is some diety or not. Ah well...
My real curses are much more ominous:
You know, we all die (usually non-verbally implying "so could you not be so full of ****, please?").
Death is too good for you. Since I can't be sure if there is a punishment after life, I'd like to make sure you get all the punishment this life has to offer! Hell will seem like walk on the beach when I'm through with you.
I'm willing to fight to the death over this even if I don't know if there is a God or not. I'm willing to go to hell over this if that's what I risk. I know I'm that right about this. So what will you have? Cake or death?
The best is correction: "Gee, I'm not a (religion), but doesn't it say in the (holy book) that you'd (suffer some punishment) if you (make some moral transgression). I though as someone from that religion that you'd know that!
Oddly enough, not many people want to play that game with me unless they have a speedy escape. I'm pretty sure the number of insults would drop to zero if I carried an anti-vehicle weapon with me since about 100% of the crap I experience comes from people yelling out of car windows on drinking nights.
I'm very glad that more than 50% of communication is nonverbal. Can you imagine what I'd have to deal with if I had actually STATED to the moron that threatened me that I would re-break both of his kneecaps that someone else had busted if he didn't back down? Isn't it great that he had the intelligence to recognize that promise without me actually saying anything?
So much more than hell and damnation can be communicated with a glare and presenting the confidence that you can and will fight someone to the death, regardless of the consequences.
It's been so successful that I haven't even had the opportunity to misuse my akido knowledge to permanently dislocate someone's arm or leg.
Damn. So much for me showing absolute proof of what an incredible jerk I could be!

Perhaps you could threaten them with the possibility of hell or damnation.

If theists have that right, then why shouldn't an agnostic or an atheist? (Actually is any human really qualified to do that?)
Life's Lovely! Love & Live Life!

Yes, because in your view, there could be a hell...
