Sure, I've commented on that many times before, in this thread and in others.  If god gets his jollies by tossing people in the pit...well, he;s a god, there's nothing we can do about it...plenty of people will end up in the pit.

That, however, doesn't make him good, nor does it solve the problem of evil.  It explicitly affirms it.

If I was living under an earthly despot I probably couldn't do much about that either.  Strange how often this notion of "god" is so similar to the worst representatives of the human species, don't you think?  Was god the model that tyrants aspire to, or was he modeled after an aspiring tyrant?

Yep many would go there. God is the most merciful, but his torture is most severe. My guess is that tyrants try to be him, but that results in mutated freaks that can't and don't have what God has. That's why associating other entities with God is wrong.
