The question was, is there anything that a human could do in this finite life, including the disbelief in the existence in Yahweh, that deserves infinite torture?
Yes sinning.
Are you actually saying that we deserve infinite torture for a finite crime?
How is that justice or mercy? Aren't these supposed attributes of your god?
If you had control over my eternity, would you sentence me to eternal torture for nothing more than the thought crime of not being convinced that Yahweh exists?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
