[quote]Is purposeless torture moral?
Most governments seem to believe that torture is an immoral and evil thing and most do not have what we would call a torture chambers. Let’s ignore Guantanamo Bay and other exceptions please.[/quote]
Why do most governments proclaim this? So those who kneel at the alter of popular culture can sleep at night. All western governments benefit from "coerced" information.
[quote]Hell is a place of purposeless torture and pain. It is used purely for revenge retribution and cruelty.
Some say we choose hell and some think that God, as our judge, sentences us to it. Some think it is eternal while some think that it and its occupants are eventually dumped into a lake of fire and destroyed. A long period of torture to some and a short term of torture to others.[/quote]
Well it can't be said you do not have a fundamental understanding of most Christian views on Hell.
[quote]From a moral standpoint, to even create such a place would not be moral.[/quote]Morality being the standard or self righteousness of man, I can't help but to agree.
[quote]Is it moral for God to use or let others choose to use his torture chamber called hell or the lake of fire?[/quote]Would it be "moral" or Righteous to drag one of you who have been trying to put distance between yourselves and God all of your natural lives, into heaven for an eternity kicking and screaming? If you can not stand the thought of God for 60 or 70 years what makes you think you can tolerate His presents for an eternity?
