Psychological torture, eh?

I found something interesting on Youtube.




So believing that God sent Jesus Christ into the world to die as a ransom for the sins of mankind and that He rose again and conquered death and that He is omnipresent with us on earth and that those who don't believe in His salvation go to hell is psychological torture, eh? Hmmm...wouldn't it only be torture to throw that last part in someone's face with intent to badger them? Our act of belief hardly counts as torture since belief is something we do and torture is omething that is done to others.

We can't believe to other people. We believe with people.

I'm sorry if you were horribly wronged by a poor representation of the love, power, and message of God through Jesus Christ. And as a "logical, free-thinking" person, yeah i suppose you're entitled to make a choice about what you believe. But let me ask you this logical question.

I'm assuming you're against ministries that encourage people to believe in the message of Christ by denouncing other forms of wolrdviews. in your words, this would seem to amount to "psychological torture". My question is: Is an effort to make people renounce God by deeming it useless and incompetent any different?
