Both are considered as an insult. But why aren't their poster complaining more about people who may have told them to F-off? Does "go to hell" carry more of a sting? If so why? Is the "go to hell" more insulting because of its religious connotations?

KJV Study,
I gave you a thumbs down. Although I admire your answer for the information that it offered. I didn't ask for a such a response. I didn't ask "what is the origin of f-off and go to hell".
Yep, thumbs down for being a "know it all", but thumbs up "for the information"

not much ...both are said with the same affect and intent to insult and hurt one's feelings
The closest word to the English “*censored*” is the German word “frikken” or the Norweigen word “fukken” all which mean to copulate. The true glory of the word “*censored*” was not brought to it’s potential till the 1970’s when it’s meaning came to include “nothing”, “bad luck”, “the spirit, ex- kicking the *censored* out of”, and “indicating a difference of importance.
I then went straight to “The Cassell Dictionary of Slang”, which traced the word “*censored*” all the way back to the late 17th century; “An act of copulation” or sex. In Swedish “focka” means to strike or push, “fock” describes a penis, and “given the plethora of euphemisms equating intercourse or penetration with striking or hitting, there may be substantiations in the suggestion of a root word in Latin “pugnare”- to strike. As the first part of the 20th century rolls around, the word evolves quite a bit. This term’s meaning remained just “sex” until the late 18th century when it’s term seemed to erratically change to mean “anything at all that is negative”.

Love is unquestionably... love. i'm somewhat effective you comprehend what it rather is. An Infatuation might nicely be an obsessive weigh down, a romantic obsession or merely a undeniable obsession. once you're infatuated with... shall we %. Edward Cullen. once you're infatuated with Edward Cullen, you're captivated with him and it is not any longer something like authentic love (shall we forget approximately with regard to the fact that he's not authentic). additionally, you may desire to be in love with somebody and consistently think of roughly them, yet that doesn't rather make it an infatuation because of the fact authentic love (i'm utilising the term loosely) is in touch. desire I helped.

"Go To Hell" means you are wishing someone to suffer an eternity of pain and torture.
"F-Off" Technically means Fornification Under Consent of the King - Off. (Look it up.) So you're basically telling someone to go have sex or telling them to go suffer eternally.
