Yes, they can love, but their love would be completely unrelated to the possible torment. Earlier we discussed the kidnapper scenario. No matter how much the kidnapper threatens, he cannot compel his prisoner to love him. Is this supposed to relate to the Argument from evil?

Can you think of a way? If not, I believe you make an argument from ignorance, or may be guilty of the equivocation fallacy.
