Is that why no one will worship the partyin' Golden Calf 2.0?

Only very insecure gods do that. A true god/goddess states their case and trusts the wise will accept it.

I've never understood the premise behind the 'Turn or Burn' argument. If somebody's a believer, then the argument is meaningless. If somebody's not a believer, then the argument is pointless.
Nobody fears a deity they don't believe in. In fact, smart people would probably steer clear of a deity whose followers have to use all sorts of psychological threats of hellfire to scare people into joining.

You could threaten 'em with a golden poo in their yard or something... (shrug) just a thought.

To believe based on fear is a poor reason.
Belief should be based on love.
Party on.

Hinduism has no Deities that threaten, so my answer is no.

You love the Lord with your heart--You invest your Faith--thus releasing your fears.
