This is a repulsive claim. I'm not interested in hanging out with people who act that way, are you?
Why, then, would I worship a god that acted that way?
It seems even less logical to decide that you would prefer the eternal torment - anyone who would disagree is a moran. The more sensible alternative of course is to deny it all.
Remember the alternative to the torment option (apart from the denial thing) is supposed to be quite nice. No more sickness, no more death, no more night...

Pascal lost that wager three and a half centuries ago. Time to move on.
