Gods supposed perfection

I'm asking you the reasons you have for believing hell to be torture and that eternal punishment is not justified. Restating the original assertion is not a reason.

Rehabilitation is this nice thing going on recently where they try to make you better, and not just make you suffer because of the bad things you did. I'm pretty sure if a judge decided death by fire would be the sentence for everyone, he wouldn't keep his job for long.
The 'rehabilitation' you seek is found in Christ and His work on the cross. If you want to be rehabilitated then repent and place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. If you want to determine for yourself what defines rehabilitation, you will spend an eternity working it out.

And if someone where to develop a moral code according to the years of their life and the standard of the culture they grew up in that celebrated human sacrifice, does that make human sacrifice moral?

I do not draw my worth by what someone else says I am, and I do not draw my morals from what someone else says is moral. I decide for myself because I am a free thinking person.
6 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will hardly die for a righteous man; [d]though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

If God viewed people as worthless, then He wouldn't have sacrificed Himself for them [the ungodly].

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
