I mean according to the religious scripture that believe God passes the judgements and administers the torment via hell. I'm not dead yet but that doesn't seem to matter to some Christians.

Nice observation. I don't want to Roast, BBQ or Fry non-Christians. I want to show you what the Christian life is about and I can't do that while I cook you in to something succulant to eat. I don't want you to be tormented here on in the here after.
I am sorry that my fellow believers can be very hungry for non-believer blood. I must say that some of them really have good intentions. Cos I know that there is a plan and purpose for you and that you are deeply and dearly loved, I want you to have a chance to experience that... Some Christians just get frustrated and can't explain fully those things.. So they try to scare you out of Hell.
God is the only one who passes judgement and He will do that when you die before then you get to choose to come to Him or not. God doesn't want you to go to Hell, He wants you to choose abundant life. The devil wants you in Hell, the devil knows the rules and he is playing everyone to make sure he has enough people at his loosers party.

You are not only, or first, to voice this. In an 1817 letter from one of America’s Founding Fathers and Presidents (second and third, respectively) (John Adams) to another (Thomas Jefferson), Adams lamented:
"Oh! Lord! Do you think that a Protestant Popedom is annihilated in America? Do you recollect, or have you ever attemded to the ecclediastical Strifes in Maryland, Pensilvania, New York, and every part of New England?
What a mercy it is that these People cannot WHIP AND CROP, AND PILLORY AND ROAST, as yet in the U.S.! IF THEY COULD THEY WOULD."
Adams was making the case that only the rule of law prohibits Christians from carrying out their bloodthirsty desires on the rest of mankind.
That is why they excluded all religion from playing a role in America’s government. There is not a single reference to God, Jesus, or Christianity in the US Constitution.
Furthermore, the 1797 US Congress unanimously passed the following and President John Adams signed it, officially making it part of the law of the land:
“As the government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion”

As a pagan i would like to say..
Not all Christians are like that..
Mainly Fundamentalist Christians.. (that i have come across are).
In a way we cant tarnish and blame all of the Christian people for a few over the top ones.
Like mentioned before.. some people might call themselves Christians but they really don't act like it, saying they are all for love and peace, yet on the other hand, killers of evil.
And that evil that they speak of .. pretty much comes down ot anyone that isn't like themselves.

Some "Christians" become so self-righteous that they lose sight of what Christianity means. The bottom line is that YOU are doing what YOU believe is right. Do what you think God would want you to do and don't worry about being judged by others.

Just because they say they are Christians doesn't make them Christians. Christian means follower of Christ. Christ knew he was to be crucified before they actually did it and he actually tried to calm his followers down so they WOULDN'T respond to the nay sayers. If they were following Christ they'd be still.
What you have to remember is that the best way to destroy a society is to represent yourself as one of them and try to make to society look bad. Ever heard of the Boston Tea Party? That's kinda what we got going on in here. Only instead of dressing up like Indians they are dressing up like Christians.

We don't, quit exaggerating.
It's our job to produce fruit.
Christ is returning for a harvest.
