And serial killers are horrible people. That's what you're comparing your god to?
God is not human.
Lions tear people and maul them.
Snakes poison children.
The sun burns people alive. But we seem to find the excuse and pardon these non-human entities in doing so.
Why can't we do the same with God?
Torturing humans is very normal when the one inflicting the torture is not even human.
Our problem is with humans torturing humans.
We can’t do the same with God because God has the option to NOT torture humans, but chooses to do so. Lions, snakes and the sun are acting in ways they can’t control.
I suppose you could try to make the case that God is unable to not torture people, but that’s kind of problematic.
