[Serious] What God's justification for eternal torment?

Can you be a bit more objective ? Why are you restricting the scope of reasons for the existence of evil to soul forge..? Why aren't you taking free will into consideration, which logically solves the problem of evil completely.

For moral evil, humans are endowed with free will and so can inflict an arbitrary amount of suffering on each other.
For natural evil, we can posit the existence of an invisible creature responsible for all phenomena inflicting damage to people and/or their property.

So logically there is nothing we didn't account for.

How do you rule out the heartless demon responsible for earthquakes. Maybe his signature move is plate tectonics ?

If there is no absolute moral authority, then there is no good and evil, these words become basically undefined, because human beings as moral agents with limited information will forcibly disagree on the list of moral/immoral actions.
By contraposition, if there is good and evil, there has to be an absolute moral authority.
