For an all-powerful God to eternally punish a human is not so much vengeance as just pure malevolent sadism. Like a child with an ant farm who enjoys roasting the ants in a fire, just for being ants.
An all-powerful God who would oversee eternal torture in Hell for finite offences, as "sin" somehow conflicts with his "holiness", is really a sadistically sick puppy and quite a psychopathic tyrant deity, when you really think about it.
Why oh why do so many religions worship and glorify a God like that, who sounds like a much worse asshole than the likes of Hitler?
