Christians recently yelled at muslim children that they are going to Hell unless they repent and accept Jesus and that was deemed abusive, harassing and offensive by passerby and even Republican house speaker.
So does this mean that when Christians tell their own children that they are going to hell is also abusive?
Or is it abusive only when they tell it to children that are not theirs? But then again nuns and priests tell kids that they are going to hell if they displease Jesus.
Or is just an act of yelling abusive and it's not abusive if you just tell kids that they are going to hell?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
