Even though it is highly unlikely, you can be one of their victims. Now imagine yourself sitting on a serial killer’s chair, tightly bound and crying not from fear or hopelessness but from excruciating pain. There is really nothing to stop him except watching him parting you piece by piece in unbearable pain.
As a Muslim, I wonder something. God sent hundreds of prophets over thousands of years, from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus to Mohammad. They were all kind, nice, and reliable people who said “We don’t want anything from you; our rewards belong to God.” They all had the same message which you already know very well. However, you didn’t care about them; instead, you hated them, mocked them, and even killed some of them.
On the other hand, now you are in a chair waiting for death, bound and helpless, you pray to God to save your life.
The question is: while hundreds of nice and kind prophets of God could not make you believe in Him, how come a serial killer can open your blind eyes and let you see him? In fact, all this time, you were denying the existence of God just because you couldn’t see Him.
Well, this is just more religionista appeal to fear, firstly. And second, who says that anyone might change their opinion on the existence of god(s) under torture? What if they just say what they think the torturer wants to hear, which is, after all, one of the issues of information collected under duress?
Your premises need support. Maybe you should provide that first.
