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?
If God is such a (as you put it,) sadistic being, why would He wait for people to die to torture them, what fun would it be to torture the dead when He could torture people while they are living.
Sin is not finite, unforgiven it last forever, thus the justified eternal hell.

Waiting is part of the fun ...
And plus they wouldn't really be dead dead according to the Bible, don't you forget that.
