Why is that?

Your question has an incorrect assumption. People do not condemn people to Hell. They don't have that power and they know that.
What you're perceiving as people condemning you to hell is actually them warning you about Hell.
I often disagree with their way of doing it and, quite frequently, their intent of why. It is, unfortunately, to serve their own purposes. I think that's really what you're noticing with people.

We do not have the right, the ability, or the authority to condemn ANYBODY to Hell. Even Jesus didn't make that call while He was on Earth. That is God's job alone. Only God knows a person's heart. Any Christian who tells somebody they are going to Hell is guilty of the same self-righteous attitude that Jesus condemned the Pharisees for. They do NOT know what is in that person's heart - they are making a judgment call based on the person's behavior. We CAN tell people that unless they receive Christ as their Saviour, they cannot enter Heaven, and that the alternative is Hell, but we do not have the right to tell somebody they are going to hell because of things they've done / the way they live.
Christians DO have the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through them, and all of the authority that comes with it!

For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerners of the thoughts and intent of the heart ( Hebrews 4:12 ). In simple translation for you.....The Word of God has two edges. It is either cutting to save our lives, or it is judging us unto death ( John 6:63 ). God's Word has ALL power to save and condemn. If you don't like what His Word is saying and perceive it as " condemnation" then the Word is doing in your heart exactly what it said it would in the beginning scripture I quoted.

People can not condemn anyone to hell. That is a choice that people have to make for themselves. Even God is not the one condemning them. Again this is a choice that they make for themselves.
Christians are obligated to spread the Word and although many don't want to hear it part of that Word is that if you reject God you will wind up in Hell. Sad but true.

Mankind today are under the sway and deceptions of Satan who is the ruler of this present world. THE LORD JESUS CHRIST in an example of mercy and is not condeming peoples was in the scene of Mary Magdalene who sinned but was not condemned by THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. One hand, no person will go to hell except satan and his demons who will incarnate as human beings on earth. Thus, all mankind by the will of THE LORD GOD will be saved and then to become gods and angel-like in the Kingdom of heaven while satan and his demons are destined for perdition (hell). Those who condemned peoples to hell are acting out of ignorance and unbelief just like St Paul said I was a violent man and I persecuted the Church of GOD out of gnorance and unbelief. Likewise, the true servants of THE LORD GOD will not condemn anybody in the strength of THE SAVIOR of humanity in the person of THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. THANKS GOD; FEAR GOD; PRAISE GOD; GLORIFY GOD; HONOR GOD; LOVE GOD AND WORSHIP GOD.

No matter what may son ever does I would love him and support him. Even if he committed a crime, I would do everything in my power to protect my son. Not even my son disowning me or rejecting me could turn me against him or wish him anything but love. Now - is it possible that I could be more good than God. Of course not! Which is why it is foolish to believe that you could be a child of God and at the same time be in jeopardy of some eternal punishment, let alone even a temporary punishment. To believe that would require you to accept that humans can be more benevolent than God and thus undermine the entire basis of your religion. To believe in eternal punishment is an INSULT to God.

Nobody can condemn anyone to hell or anywhere else. When annoyed they say " Go to hell". That's not a condemnation, it's not an order, it's simply an expression that has no real meaning.

No human can condemn anyone to hell. They can only point out that they think you will go to hell. It's their opinion.

No Christian is condemning anyone to hell. We are trying to say that God can save someone from sending themselves there!

God does indeed channel his power through believers,however,the right to the judgement of eternal fate,is exclusive to God.
