I believe my beliefs are facts.

I believe the B man uses complicated language but I find that God uses plain language. I find that preachers like to use complicated language but evangelists tend to speak more plainly.

A "choice" where one of two outcomes is eternal suffering is not a choice, it's a threat.

Your God would be akin to an armed criminal who gave people the "choice" between taking their money and taking their lives.

I believe that is not a good metaphor. The criminal gives two bad choices. God gives a choice between a good outcome (eternal good life) or a bad outcome (imprisonment in the fires of Hell).

Beliefs are not facts.

Baha'u'llah sometimes uses rather ornate language, but that is because much of His Revelation is mystical.
