Case in point, you're positioning for the end (an end that will never come, no less), but won't commit at the beginning. Either you are or you are not willing to posit that someone is improved by my starving you and killing your kid.
If you aren't, then there's nothing to rule out or in in the first place. It was not a genuine cognitive proposition about a soul forge, and nothing about it informs you so much as helps you hold hope alive that no one can rule your god beliefs out. The god belief in question..if I could be so bold, is that there's some good reason to do all of this, that god isn't a monster for doing this.
That, though, is a question that we can answer, and answer in this life, without ever resolving whether or not there is a god or a soul forge.
