Why do you detest your all-knowing god's justice? Why would an all-powerful God use methods he detests to administer judgement?
The most burning question, though, is, can we expect any internal consistency from you?
I'm not sure what you mean by "internal consistency." The purpose of evil is to chastise, to humble, to teach righteousness. The harsher the methods involved, the greater the catharsis when healing comes.
Do you think God enjoyed being crucified? I'm sure He probably detested that as well.
This life, this world we live in, is pain. It is suffering. Some suffer more than others, and the suffering is often tragic. Yet, it is still temporary. For all the evil you ascribe to Him and to me, you cannot imagine the depth of His love for us all, or imagine how wonderful everyone's existence is going to be when all is accomplished.
When it is all over, we will all be free-thinking, righteous beings and evil will no longer exist. There will be no more pain or suffering anywhere.
Life is boot camp. It sucks, but the ends justifies the means.
Also, I wonder how many of you think I or the God I describe is even a fraction as evil as a god who sends people to Hell for all eternity, even to burn forever according to many of them.
