I think telling ANY child they are going to hell is disgusting, or any adult for that matter. Your poor little girl to be subject to nightmares from this calous treatment.
Nelle's advice is spot on I think. Talking through her questions and fears. Remind her of the positive things she learnt at Bahai, and positive things about God. Remind her that it's her choice what she believes in, and that NO ONE has all the answers about anything, ever.
I would definitely let the in-laws know that their evangelism was so effective that your child now doesn't want anything to do with God. At some later stage, it might be nice to go to a church, temple or other religious place and have a positive experience of spirituality? but don't push it, your poor little girl.
(sorry, this makes me SO mad) I really believe It's just scaremongering and almost borders on abuse when children are involved. They don't have the rational brain development to deal with these kind of concepts and philosophies, it's kind of like letting a 9 year old watch hard core porn, just really damaging and age inappropriate.
