I did something Cruel, yet a Eye-opening proof.

So let's first explain how my school works, In our School we also have the Students from the 9th Grade and below down to the 1st graders (I don't know much about US schooling system).

As I was at school, it was the long-break (20-30 minutes), me and some of my friends went outside to just calm down and break off from the lessons for a minute.
As soon as we sat down, there was this kid who was about (6-7 year old, 1-2 Grade), he came to me asking me about what are these pimples (they were scars from my acne) on my face, so I told him these were scars from my acne.
He then asked me: "what's acne" - I normally explained that to him, alas, he wasn't really grown up enough to understand.
But here's the bad part, as I was talking to him, I thought, if I ever found a way to manipulate someone, it would be through religion. So I held his hand, drew out my pen and drew some-type of demon figure and I told him that if he didn't go and buy me a Chips from a story nearby, he'd be cursed for life and would go to hell (since he was kind of muslim-oriented, the word for Hell is "Jahannaam").
By saying this he started shaking and it really amazed me how he just went and came back in 2 minutes, with 3 bags of chips asking me which one I liked, as soon as I reached my hand he started tearing up, I could see it in his eyes how much scared he was.
Now, I felt really sad about it, because I didn't really believe a kid would react that way, but thankfully, he was really willing to listen to what I had to say, so I first took a wet napkin and brushed off the figure (he just smiled for a second) and I told him that Hell doesn't really exist and that it was just a fantasy. He really lightened up there, and for some reason, he told me that his mother actually taught him about "Hell", so I could understand his reaction to my words.
So in the end, I paid back in money, gave him those 2 bags of chips and kept one for myself.

Believe this or not, it's your entire opinion, I am stating what I acted on. It was cruel, I know, but I really couldn't believe the effect of such art of manipulation being taught to kids at such an age, it truly pissed me off.

So, what are your thoughts on this?

I guess I would be okay in

I guess I would be okay in the kid's position, considering I was paid back and got to keep some chips. Kinda cruel, yeah, but I think you made up for it. Good for you, I guess?
