There is a huge difference between punishment and torture. Placing someone in jail for life is punishment. Placing someone in a fiery pit to be attacked by demons is torture.
Theists always seem to make the erroneous mistake of comparing god's punishment with that of a parent punishing his child. The major difference is that I do not see parents throwing their children into fiery pits when they misbehave.
