Well if you want to know exactly what I'M telling you Eld, you'd better pay attention.
Your punishment for not wanting what is right, it's for wanting to be wrong. Your personal choice to do bad gave YOU the cconsequence of that choice. I relate that to right now too. Choose to do bad stuff and you live hell.
Torture? You can call your self punishment that if you like. I might agree.
See above: I think all will be drawn to God. God won't be defeated by peoples mistaken choices. Otherwise he wouldn't be omnipotent, or loving. I believe that in the fullness of time even the strongest rebels will work out that good is the right answer. The severe consequences are necessary. God wouldn't also be just, and you could excuse your rebelliousness, if your bad actions didn't cause you to suffer.
Therefore I feel that mine is a completely just decision.
