I am about to ask a serious but utterly reprehensible question

RE: I am about to ask a serious but utterly reprehensible question
How can it not be evil for God to torture someone endlessly without hope of redemption?

Why should I hold God to a lower standard of morality than I would expect from a human?

When judging morality, I take into account knowledge and capability. If someone doesn't know very much and isn't very capable, I don't expect a lot of them. If someone tortures an animal but they genuinely don't understand that the animal is in pain, or aren't capable of caring about that, then I hold them to a lower standard. But God has the greatest knowledge of how bad the suffering really is, apparently loves everyone so should really care about it, and has infinite power to go about things in any other way than this. So fuck him, he is judged to be the most evil thing I can possibly imagine.

If you think hell exists, and you worship its creator, you are worshipping an evil tyrant.
