RE: Why even if there is a god, it can not save you
Truth never comes from fear. If I am tortured to believe that 2 + 2 = 5, still 2 + 2 will never be 5.

That is exactly the point.
Argumentum ad baculum (Latin for "argument to the cudgel" or "appeal to the stick") is the fallacy committed when one appeals to force or the threat of force to bring about the acceptance of a conclusion. One participates in argumentum ad baculum when one points out the negative consequences of holding the contrary position (ex. believe what I say, or I will hit you). It is a specific case of the negative form of an argument to the consequences.

I am not saying it exists in you post. I am just clarifying the name of the falacy.
I don't get the relevance then.
