The deal isn't "say these words and your family goes free". This is a bit like "well, we all know that crime doesn't pay...but if somebody came up to you and offered you a victims shoes at a good price - you'd buy them" Sure, some people might, there are fences in the world. Most of us aren't in the habit of fencing shit for anybody, though. Keep in mind, being a fence, relatively minor compared to the example you offered. Still, many of us seem to be able to avoid the "temptation".
If, as some claim, I'll be given a little taste of hell to help me repent, then fuck it, It's no longer me doing any repenting. I'm broken, checked out, gone - fucking space cadet, that's what happens when you torture people. Cheap victory for a god, I'd imagine.
