Usually when someone accuses your god of not being loving and just, someone will claim we want to go way to the other extreme and not want to be punished at all. It's a strawman argument.

Get away from the eternal torment stuff. I don't believe the bible teaches it. Anyway, the deist position that God doesn't care is based on their own idea of what God should be and not what he is. It's like "If he lets us suffer, then he doesn't care or he doesn't exist."
