Some of us may tell others what we believe is right or wrong. But, we don't tell people that they must believe as we do or they'll be tortured for all eternity.
Just to put you to ease, I don't believe the bible teaches that unbelievers will be tormented in hell for eternity. I think they will be in hell, but not for eternity If you knew that your brother or sister was experimenting with addictive drugs, would tell him or her that you think what they are doing is wrong? We are told that we should love our brothers and sisters, and therefore, be concerned about their welfare. If I care about them, then I should be willing to offer advice, but I should do it with love, in a respectful manner. And if they tell me to leave them alone, I should respect that also.
