It's good to put in yourself in position of another, and ask what you think is the right thing to do with regards to yourself, and apply it to others.
If you were evil, would it be the right thing to have compassion yourself and hope you are forgiven and reformed or eternally tortured?
I believe it's the former.
Therefore I believe it's right to wish others compassion and they not be eternally tortured but forgiven and reformed.
Therefore I believe if there is a Creator that shares morality of humanity, it would be wrong of him to eternally torture humans for being evil.
but i can prove to you that eternal punishment is logical in some occasions
it is like this, peole who deserve to go to paradise, go to paradise
people who deserve to go to hell go to hell,
and there is 2 categories of people in hell, those who shall stay in hell for a certain period of time and then go out and go in to Paradise
and some will stay forever, but how can you justify eternal punishment if person sinned for 60 years for example, what is 60 years compared to eternity?
God said in quran that he is just, and he will never punish unjustly. so when he say punish eternaly, let say that he punish this person 60 years in hell, and he cause him to die in hell and stay forever in hell, so actually he is punished forever beacuse he will never go to paradise and he stay dead in hell, without feeling pain.
but there is also other options, like if you sinned for 60 years, and you distracted another person from beleiving in God, you made this person become atheist. so you will be punished for you and for him also beacuse you missguided him in life, so if you lived 60 years and this person also 60 years, then you probabaly stay 120 in punishments in hell. then can you imagine how long period of time you will stay in hell if you missguide many people.
