Geez.
Matthew 18:6
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
I am really not sure how that answers the question.
I have personally guided two or three of my friends who came to me looking for help to get over the fears instilled in them by the church. Should I be drowned, Randy?
That's ultimately for your creator to decide.
But if you want to examine your own conscience, did you show them how the people who created these fears in them were misinterpreting a handful of the scriptures? Or did you help them to understand the whole of the Bible which is very clear on how much God loves us?
