False doctrines are designed to cause people to be turned off the Bible, which does not teach such stupidity and injustice.
It would not be hard to convince you, but the religious are almost impossible to reason with, because they read with rose glasses.
Satan runs world religions, and always has attempted to, and has succeeded in the better part of history,
through ancient paganism, apostate Israel, the Catholic church, modern Protestantism united with the church of Rome, and eastern religions.
And you are right about mental torture - the doctrine of hell and such like it, have caused immense suffering to humanity, this was one of the things which caused the French revolution against the Catholic church, religion in general and the Bible - which was burned in public.
