No, but killing children is, murder people for ANY reason is.
Condemning his wayward creations to an eternity of suffering and torment instead of maybe working together with them at the day of judgement and discovering WHY they went wayward and what the two of them can do to fix the problem, ~gasp~ God forbid seeing that maybe he had some part in it too....you know not being an immature unreasonable child and acting rashly but instead being a rational mature being.
Again as I said before, we as humans don't murder our children when they disobey, even when they become the worst of the worst, we never give up on them and would NEVER torture them for their mistakes.
Furthermore you can't expect to be loved by anyone if you threaten them (in this case with hell)....nor should you deserve to be loved if loved walks hand in hand with threat. That's borderline domestic abuse.
You have such a misconception of God. He does not murder. God also does not torture anyone. In fact hell is not meant for torture but for separation of God. People may think it to be cruel but God is infinitely loving and infinitely righteous. Because of his righteousness, he must punish us for our sin and the wadges of sin is death, but he loved us so much he gave his son to die for us so that we may go to heaven and be with him. Those who don't accept Jesus must be punished according to his righteousness. He does not threaten anyone, he simply allows an informed decision by telling us what we deserve and how to redeem ourselves.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
